比較級最高級總結與練習

1、一、概說英語中的形容詞和副詞有三個等級，即原級、比較級和高最級。比較級主要用于兩者比較，最高級主要用于多者比較。二、比較等級的構成1.通過加后綴-er和-est構成。單音節(jié)和部分雙音節(jié)詞通過加后綴-er和-est構成比較級和最高級原級比較級最咼級tall（高）tallertallestquiet（安靜的）quieterquietestIearly（早）earlierearliest注：stupid , often, seldom）可以有兩種方式構成比較級和最高級級clever cleverer / more clever cleverest / most cleveroften more of

2、ten / oftener most often / oftenest 。 等。（2）某些帶有否定前綴un-的三音節(jié)詞（如uncommon, unhappy, unpleasant, untidy 等）可以用兩種比較級形式：unhappy unhappier / more unhappy unhappiest / most unhappy。三、形容詞與副詞比較等級的不規(guī)則變化1.常見的不規(guī)則形容詞與副詞的比較等級變化原級比較級最咼級good（好的）betterbestwell（好，健康的）betterbestbad（壞的）worseworstbadly（壞地，惡劣地）worseworstill

3、（有病的）worseworstmuch(多)moremostmany(多)moremostlittle(少)lessleastfar(遠)farther / furtherfarthest / furthest注：包含 good, well, bad, ill的復合詞形容詞(如 good-looking, well-known, well-built, bad-tempered等),通常將good, well, bad, ill 改為比較級和最高級，不過也可用 more和most的形式：good-look ing better-look ing / more good-look ing bes

4、t-look ing / most good-look ing。2. farther, further 與 farthest, furthest的用法區(qū)別(1) 表示距離時，四個詞都可用：I can throw much farther further than you.我可以比你扔得更遠 。(2) 若用于引申義，表示更進一步”、此外”等義，則只能用further :We ll further discuss it.我們會進一步討論它 。Are there any further questions?還有問題嗎 ?(3) further可用作動詞，意為增進”、推進”等(其他幾個詞一般不這樣用)

5、：His support furthered my career.他的支持促進了我的事業(yè)。3. elder, eldest & older, oldest 的用法區(qū)別(1) old 通常的比較級和最高級分別是older, oldest 。可用于人或物，可用作表語或定語，可與than連用： (two years ) older than he. 我比他大 (兩歲)。The cathedral is the oldest buildi ng in the city.這座教堂是城里最古老的建筑。(2) elder與eldest主要用于家人之間表明長幼關系。通常只用于人而不用于物，只用作定語而不用作表

6、語，也不與than連用：This is my eldest son (daughter).這是我的大兒子(女)。His elder brother (sister) works in a clothing factory.他哥哥(姐姐)在一家服裝廠工作 。注：在美國英語中也可用older, oldest表示長幼關系：older brother 哥哥(3) elder 與eldest的區(qū)別是：前者指兩者中年紀較大的，而后者指三者或三者以上的年紀最大的。如：one s elder son指兩個兒子中年紀較大的一個，one s eldest son指三個或三個以上的兒子中年紀最大的一個(4) eld

7、er和eldest作為形容詞，通常只能用作定語，不用作表語；但若不是用作形容詞(即其后不接名詞)而是用作名詞，則可以用作表語(此時通常有冠詞或物主代詞修飾)：I m the eldest in the family. 我是全家年紀最大的 。He was the elder of the two sons.他是兩個兒子中較大的。四、使用比較等級應注意的幾點1. 使用比較等級的基本原則。不作比較用原級，兩者比較用比較級，多者比較用最高級：He is very tall.他很高。(盡管 很高”，但沒有比較，故用原級)He is very short, but taller than me.他很矮，但

8、比我高。Among the three short girls, Mary is the tallest.在這三個矮姑娘中，瑪麗是最高的。2. 不能使用雙重比較等級。即構成比較級時不能既加詞尾-er,又在其前加 more ;構成最高級時不能既在詞尾加-est，又在其前加 most，如不能說 more better, most earliest 等。不過比較級+and+比較級這樣的形式卻 完全可用：I am getting fatter and fatter.我越來越胖了 。We re going more and more slowly.我們越走越慢了 。3. 使用比較等級要注意合乎邏輯。請看

9、兩組正誤句：(1) 我的電腦比她的貴。誤: My computer is more expensive than her正： My computer is more expe nsive tha n hers.析：從邏輯上說，應該是 my computer 與 her computer 作比較，而不是 my computer 與 her 比較。上面 正句中的 hers=her computer 。(2) 上海人口比中國其他城市的人口要多。誤:The population of Shanghai is larger than that of any city in China.正:The pop

10、ulation of Shanghai is larger than that of any other city in China.析：從邏輯上說，Shanghai在China范圍內，或者說 Shanghai也是China范圍內的一個城市，若不用 other，則句意為 上海的人口比中國任何城市的人口都多”，4. 本身已含有比較意味的詞語通常不用于比較級Which do you prefer, tea or coffee?茶和咖啡，你更喜歡哪樣？She is junior to me.她比我年紀小。5.比較級前冠詞使用規(guī)律。比較級前通常不用冠詞，但有時也用，這主要見于以下情形口)當比較級后接名

11、詞時，比較級前可能用冠詞,此時的冠詞不是修飾比較級，而是修飾其后的名詞：Which is the larger coun try, Can ada or Australia?中國和澳大利亞，哪個國家更大？(2)當要特指兩者中較(更)時，比較級前通常要帶定冠詞，此時可視為比較級后省略了有關的名詞或代詞one ,即定冠詞實為修飾被省略的名詞或代詞one :This dictionary is the more useful of the two.在兩本詞典中,這本更有用。(3)在比較級前用the表示程度(通常有表示原因、理由或條件的短語或從句)：feel the better for my wal

12、k.散了一下步我覺得舒服多了。love him all the more for because of his faults.正因為他這些缺點，所以我越發(fā)愛他。用于“ the比較級，the+比較級，表示越來越：The sooner, the better.越快越好 。The more dan gerous it is, the more I like it.事情越是危險我越喜歡 。當by far用于修飾比較級且置于其前時，比較級前要用the :He s by far the cleverer student.他是個聰明得多的孩子。It s by far the quicker to go by

13、 train.乘火車要快得多。注：by far若用于比較級后，則通常不用the : |It s quicker by far to go by train.乘火車要快得多 。6.最高級前冠詞使用規(guī)律(1)在形容詞最高級前通常有the :This is the best room in the hotel.這是這個賓館里最好的房間。(2) 當最高級形容詞用作表語(尤其是當在which后)且不帶比較范圍時，the有時(尤其是非正式場合)可以省 略：This dictionary is (the) best.這本詞典最好。但是，當處于表語位置的最高級帶有比較范圍或帶有限定性修飾語時，其前的the通常

14、不能省去：This dictio nary is the best I could find.這是我能找到的最好的詞典 。(3) 當要對同一個人或事物在不同情況下進行對比時，處于表語位置的最高級形容詞前不能加the :Vegetables are best whe n they are fresh.蔬菜新鮮時最好吃 。比較：He s busiest on Sun day.他星期天最忙。(他與自己平時比)He s the busiest of all the people.在所有人當中他最忙 。(他與別人比)(4) 在副詞最高級前可用the，也可省略：Among them, he studies

15、 (the) hardest.在他們當中，他學習最刻苦。(5) 與形容詞的最高級一樣，當要對同一個人或事物在不同情況下進行對比時，副詞最高級前也不能加the :She works hardest whe n she s doing someth ing for her fan她她為自己家干活時最賣力。比較：Of all the workers, he works (the) hardest.在所有工人中，他干活最賣力。7. than后的省略。(1) 若than所連接的兩個待比較的句子有相同成分，通常有所省略，女口說 He is much taller than I (am).而不能說 He i

16、s much taller than I am tall.但是，若所連接的兩個待比較的句子沒有相同成分，則不能省略，否則意思會有所變化。比較：He swims faster than I run.他游泳比我跑步還快 。He swims faster than I.他游泳比我(游泳)快。(2) 有時用于類似以下這樣的省略句：Don t eat more than is good for you.不要吃得過量 。More food is wasted than is eate n in this can tee n.在這個食堂里浪費的食品比吃掉的還多。Some of the stories wer

17、e really more tha n could be believed.有些故事實在認人難以相信 。More people own houses these days tha n used to years ago.與幾年前相比，目前有更多的人自己有房子。為了便于理解，可以認為這類省略句的 than后省略了 what(但實際上這個 what通常不宜補上，除非在英國某 些方言里)，但也有人認為在一些類似情況下than有點像關系代詞，引導一個類似于定語從句的句子 (但又不完全像定語從句，因為有時其前沒有先行詞)，這類省略句通常不能補上所缺的主語或賓語(因為than就充當了主語和賓語)。另外，還

18、有以下這樣的省略形式(即不僅省略了主語，而且省略了助動詞)：He returned three days earlier than expected.(=than he was expected.)他比所預料的早回三天。8. 比較級和最高級的常見修飾語(1) 比較級的修飾語有 far, even, still, a lot, lots, a great deal, a bit, rather, three times, any,no, very much 等：This is very much better.這個好得多 。Japa nese is much far more difficult

19、 tha n En glish.日語比英語難多了 。He kn ew a great deal more than I did.他所了解的比我了解的多得多 。He works hard, but she works still harder harder still.他工作很努力，但她工作更努力。1. 當A B時，用 比較級+ than +比較對象”來表示。如：My room is smaller than yours.我的房間比你的小。注意：一般來說，比較對象為人稱代詞時，用主格或賓格均可。但是，當句子中謂語動詞為及物動 詞時，人稱代詞用主格或賓格意義不同。女口：I like you bet

20、ter than he (likes you).我比他更喜歡你。I like you better than (he likes) him.我喜歡你勝過喜歡他。2. 用A B ，表示最高級(1)直接使用比較級 How beautiful she sings! Ive never heard a better voice.=She has the best voice rve ever heard.她唱得多好?。∵@是我聽到的最美的歌喉 I have never read a more interesting novel.=It is the most in terest ing novel rv

21、e ever read.這是我讀過的最有趣的小說。(2) 比較級 + than + the other +復數(shù)名詞比較級 + tha n + the rest of +復數(shù)名詞比較級 + tha n+ any of the other +復數(shù)名詞比較級 + tha n+ any other + 單數(shù)名詞(比較雙方屬于同一類別或同一范圍內。即表示 同一范圍內的一者比其他的更 ”) 比較級+ than + any +單數(shù)名詞(比較雙方不屬于同一類別或同一范圍內。即表示 不同范圍內的一者比其他任何一者都 更”)。 She goes to school earlierthan the other gi

22、rls.她比其他女孩早上學。 He works harder than any other student.她學習最用功。 China is larger than any of the other countries in Asia.中國是亞洲最大的國家Shan ghai is larger tha n any city in Africa。(3) 比較級 + than + anything/anyone else George did more workthan anyone else.喬治干活最多。 Tom cared more for money than for anything e

23、lse湯姆最喜歡錢。(4) 在比較句型中使用 n o, no body, no thi ng等詞。 I like nothing better than swimming.我最喜歡游泳。 Nobody can do the work better than he did.這項工作他做得最出色。 No other building is as gran d as the new hotel.新建的賓館是當?shù)刈詈廊A的。,切記不可(5) 在使用這一結構時須要注意：使用這一結構來表達同一范疇中最高級含義時 出現(xiàn)自身比較錯誤。如下面的翻譯句子：中國是所有亞洲國家中最大的一個。如果譯為： China is

24、 larger than all the countries in Asia.( x) China is larger than any country in Asia.( x)應譯為： China is larger than any other country in Asia. China is larger than any of the other countries in Asia. China is larger than the others in Asia. China is larger than any of the others in Asia.4. 當A = B 時，用

25、“ as +原級+ as +比較對象”來表示。如：She is as tall as me 。她與我一樣高。He gets up as early as his parents.他起床與他父母起得一樣早。5. 當A B 時，用“ not so /as +原級+ as +比較對象”來表示。如：I m not as so lucky as you.我不像你那么幸運。He doesn t study as so hard as Mary. 他學習不如瑪麗努力。6. 當A =數(shù)字x B時，用下列結構來表示： 用 數(shù)字+ times + as + 原級+ as +比較對象”來表示。女口：Their ho
