比較級最高級講解及練習(xí)(精)

1、 形容詞、副詞比較級和最高級知識詳解專練 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(gòu)成1. 通過加后綴-er和-est構(gòu)成。單音節(jié)和部分雙音節(jié)詞通過加后綴 er和-est構(gòu)成比較級和最高級原級 比較級 最高級tall(高) taller tallestquiet(安靜的) quieter quietestearly(早) earlier earliest注：(1) 若原級以字母e結(jié)尾，則只加-r和-st：finefinerfinest。(2) 若原級以“輔音字母+y”結(jié)尾，則應(yīng)將y改為i，再加-er和-est

2、構(gòu)成比較級和最高級：drydrierdriest。(例外：shy(害羞的)shyershyest)(3) 若原級為重讀閉音節(jié)結(jié)尾，且末尾只有一個輔音字母，則雙寫這個輔音字母后加詞尾-er和-est構(gòu)成比較級和最高級：bigbiggerbiggest。2. 通過在其前加more和most構(gòu)成。多音節(jié)和部分雙音節(jié)詞通過在其前加more和most構(gòu)成比較級和最高級：原級 比較級 最高級difficult(困難的) more difficult most difficultdangerous(危險的) more dangerous most dangerousbravely(勇敢地) more bra

3、vely most bravely注：(1) 有的雙音節(jié)詞(如 clever, common, gentle, handsome, happy, narrow, polite, quiet, shallow, simple, stupid，often, seldom)可以有兩種方式構(gòu)成比較級和最高級級：clevercleverer / more clever cleverest / most cleveroftenmore often / oftenermost often / oftenest。等。(2) 某些帶有否定前綴un-的三音節(jié)詞(如uncommon, unhappy, unplea

4、sant, untidy等)可以用兩種比較級形式：unhappyunhappier / 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 最高級good(好的) better bestwell(好，健康的) better bestbad(壞的) worse worstbadly(壞地，惡劣地) worse worstill(有病的) worse worstmuch(多) more mostmany(多) more mostlittle(少) less leastfar(遠(yuǎn))

5、 farther / further farthest / furthest注：包含good, well, bad, ill的復(fù)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-looking better-looking / more good-lookingbest-looking / most good-looking。2. farther, further與farthest, furthest 的用法區(qū)

6、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(yuǎn)。(2) 若用于引申義，表示“更進(jìn)一步”、“此外”等義，則只能用 further：Well further discuss it. 我們會進(jìn)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(jìn)”、“推進(jìn)”等(其他幾個詞一般不這樣用)：His support furthered my career. 他的支持促進(jìn)了我的事業(yè)。3. elder, eldest & old

7、er, 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：Im （two years ）older than he. 我比他大（兩歲）。The cathedral is the oldest building 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(guān)系。通常只用于人而不用于物，只用作定語而不用作表語，也不與 than 連用：This is my eldest son (daughter). 這是我的大兒子(女)。His

8、 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(guān)系：older brother 哥哥(3) elder 與 eldest 的區(qū)別是：前者指兩者中年紀(jì)較大的, 而后者指三者或三者以上的年紀(jì)最大的。如：ones elder son 指兩個兒子中年紀(jì)較大的一個，ones eldest son 指三個或三個以上的兒子中年紀(jì)最大的一個(4) elder 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

9、作名詞，則可以用作表語(此時通常有冠詞或物主代詞修飾)：Im the eldest in the family. 我是全家年紀(jì)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(yīng)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，但比我高。Among the three short girls, Mary is the talle

10、st. 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(gòu)成比較級時不能既加詞尾-er，又在其前加more；構(gòu)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。Were 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。請看兩組正誤句：(1) 我的電腦比她的貴。誤：My computer is more expensive th

11、an her正：My computer is more expensive than hers.析：從邏輯上說，應(yīng)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 population of Shanghai is larger than that of any other city in Ch

12、ina.析：從邏輯上說，Shanghai在China范圍內(nèi)，或者說Shanghai也是China范圍內(nèi)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(jì)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：(1) 當(dāng)比較級后接名詞時，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 co

13、untry, Canada or Australia? 中國和澳大利亞，哪個國家更大？(2) 當(dāng)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(guān)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)：I feel the better for my walk. 散了一下步我覺得舒服多了。I love him all the more for because of

14、 his faults. 正因為他這些缺點，所以我越發(fā)愛他。(4) 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 dangerous it is, the more I like it. 事情越是危險我越喜歡。(5) 當(dāng)by far用于修飾比較級且置于其前時，比較級前要用the：Hes by far the cleverer student. 他是個聰明得多的孩子。Its by far the quicker to go by train. 乘火車要快得多。注：by far若用于比較級后，則通常不用the：I

15、ts 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(dāng)最高級形容詞用作表語(尤其是當(dāng)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(dāng)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通常不能省去：This dictionary is the best I could fi

16、nd. 這是我能找到的最好的詞典。(3) 當(dāng)要對同一個人或事物在不同情況下進(jìn)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 when they are fresh. 蔬菜新鮮時最好吃。比較：Hes busiest on Sunday. 他星期天最忙。(他與自己平時比)Hes the busiest of all the people. 在所有人當(dāng)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 (the) hardest. 在他們當(dāng)中，他學(xué)習(xí)最刻苦。(5) 與形容詞的最高級一樣，當(dāng)要對同

17、一個人或事物在不同情況下進(jìn)行對比時，副詞最高級前也不能加the：She works hardest when shes doing something for her family. 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，如說He is much taller than I (am). 而不能說He is much taller than I am tall.但是，若所連接的兩個待比較的句子沒有

18、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：Dont eat more than is good for you. 不要吃得過量。More food is wasted than is eaten in this canteen. 在這個食堂里浪費的食品比吃掉的還多。Some of the stories were really more than could be believed. 有些故事實在認(rèn)人難以相

19、信。More people own houses these days than 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(rèn)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(rèn)為在一些類似情況下than有點像關(guān)系代詞，引導(dǎo)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(dāng)了主語和賓語)。另外，還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 ear

20、lier than expected.(=than he was expected.)他比所預(yù)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。Japanese is much far more difficult than English. 日語比英語難多了。He knew a great deal more than I

21、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。(2) 最高級的常見修飾語有 (by) far, much, nearly, almost, not quite, by no means, very, second, next 等：He is far more careful than I am. 他比我仔細(xì)得多。This is by the best news for a long time. 這是很久以來最最好的消息。This is much the most

22、 important. 這是最最重要的。I think this is the very best dictionary. 我想這是最最好的詞典。The Yellow River is the second longest river in China. 黃河是中國第二長河流。Of the three boys Jim is by no means the cleverest. 在這三個男孩子中，吉姆絕不是最聰明的。注：very不能修飾比較級，卻可修飾最高級，但它與一般的修飾最高的副詞有所不同，即它要放在最高級前定冠詞之后，而不是之前(另外，second, third, next等也要入在定冠

23、詞之后)。五、常見比較等級句型1. 當(dāng)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(dāng)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。如：I like you better 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

24、 sings! I've never heard a better voice.= She has the best voice I've ever heard.她唱得多好??！這是我聽到的最美的歌喉。I have never read a more interesting novel.= It is the most interesting novel I've ever read.這是我讀過的最有趣的小說。（2）比較級 + than + the other + 復(fù)數(shù)名詞 比較級 + than + the rest of + 復(fù)數(shù)名詞 比較級 + than + any

25、of the other + 復(fù)數(shù)名詞 比較級 + than + any other + 單數(shù)名詞 （比較雙方屬于同一類別或同一范圍內(nèi)。即表示“同一范圍內(nèi)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(nèi)。即表示“不同范圍內(nèi)的一者比其他任何一者都更.”）。 She goes to school earlier than the other girls.她比其他女孩早上學(xué)。He works harder than any other student.她學(xué)習(xí)最用功。China is larger than any of the other

26、 countries in Asia.中國是亞洲最大的國家Shanghai is larger than any city in Africa 。（3）比較級 + than + anything/ anyone elseGeorge did more work than anyone else.喬治干活最多。Tom cared more for money than for anything else湯姆最喜歡錢。（4）在比較句型中使用 "no", "nobody", "nothing" 等詞。I like nothing bette

27、r 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 grand as the new hotel.新建的賓館是當(dāng)?shù)刈詈廊A的。（5） 在使用這一結(jié)構(gòu)時須要注意：使用這一結(jié)構(gòu)來表達(dá)同一范疇中最高級含義時，切記不可出現(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 larger than all the countries in Asia. (×)China is larger than any co

28、untry in Asia. (×)應(yīng)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(dāng)A = B 時，用“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 e

29、arly as his parents. 他起床與他父母起得一樣早。5. 當(dāng)A < B 時，用“not so /as + 原級 + as +比較對象”來表示。如：Im not as so lucky as you. 我不像你那么幸運。He doesnt study as so hard as Mary. 他學(xué)習(xí)不如瑪麗努力。6. 當(dāng)A = 數(shù)字×B 時，用下列結(jié)構(gòu)來表示：(1) 用“數(shù)字 + times + as + 原級 + as +比較對象”來表示。如：Their house is about three times as big as ours. 他們的房子大約有我們房子

30、三倍大。(2) 用“數(shù)字 + times + the size / length / depth / height / width + of +比較對象” 來表示。如：Your office is three times the size of ours. 你的辦公室是我們辦公室的三倍大。(3) 用“數(shù)字 + times + 比較級 + than + 比較對象”來表示。如：He runs three times faster than Jack. 他比杰克跑得快三倍。注：若指兩倍，以上各句型中的“數(shù)字+times”則應(yīng)換成twice。如：This room is twice the lengt

31、h of the other, but much narrower. 這個房間的長度是那個房間的兩倍, 但窄得多。7. 在三者或三者以上的人或物中，用最高級表示，結(jié)構(gòu)為“the + 最高級 + 比較范圍”。如：She is the best player in the team. 她是隊里最優(yōu)秀的運動員。He works the hardest of all the students. 他是所有學(xué)生中最用功的。8. 表示“越來越”時，用“比較級 + and + 比較級”。如：Your English is getting better and better. 你的英語越來越好了。Its bec
