Shes a bit deaf now. 記得說(shuō)話大點(diǎn)兒聲，她現(xiàn)在有點(diǎn)兒耳背了。speak up表示“大點(diǎn)兒聲說(shuō)”。例如：e.g. Speak up, please. I cant hear you. 請(qǐng)大聲一點(diǎn)兒，我聽(tīng)不見(jiàn)你說(shuō)話。Step 8 Grammar 形容詞與副詞對(duì)于形容詞與副詞，我們主要掌握兩點(diǎn)，一是形容詞與副詞的句法功能，二是形容詞

18、與副詞的比較級(jí)和最高級(jí)。1. 形容詞的句法功能一般來(lái)說(shuō)，形容詞可以放在名詞之前作定語(yǔ)，也可以放在系動(dòng)詞之后作表語(yǔ)，還可以作賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)等。例如：Did you see that old photograph that I found? Its a lovely picture.你看見(jiàn)我找到的那張老照片了嗎？畫面真美。(定語(yǔ))They were very nice. 他們很友善。(表語(yǔ))Peoples lives seem busy now. 現(xiàn)在人們的生活似乎很忙碌。(表語(yǔ))We must keep our classroom clean and tidy.我們必須保持教室干凈整潔。(賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)

19、)形容詞作定語(yǔ)一般都是放在名詞之前，但是如果修飾的是不定代詞something, anything, nothing, somebody, anybody, nobody等，就要放在后面。例如：Is there anything special in the paper today? 今天報(bào)紙上有什么特別的新聞嗎？I didnt find anything funny about it. 我覺(jué)得這事一點(diǎn)兒都不可笑。There is nothing new in the store. 商店里沒(méi)有什么新東西。很多副詞都以-ly結(jié)尾，但是“名詞+ly”的詞則多為形容詞，如：weekly, frien

20、dly等，應(yīng)注意區(qū)別。例如：A friendly voice answered the phone. 接電話的是一個(gè)友好的聲音。2. 副詞的句法功能副詞一般用作狀語(yǔ)，修飾動(dòng)詞、形容詞、副詞以及全句，表示程度、方式等。例如：They speak highly of you.他們對(duì)你的評(píng)價(jià)很高。We were very lucky to find you here.我們很幸運(yùn)在這里找到了你。The spring passed too quickly.春天過(guò)得太快了。Hopefully, well meet again on Friday.希望我們星期五再見(jiàn)面。3. 形容詞與副詞的比較級(jí)和最高級(jí)就形

21、容詞、副詞的比較級(jí)和最高級(jí)而言，一是要掌握比較級(jí)和最高級(jí)的構(gòu)成，二是要掌握比較級(jí)句型。1) 比較級(jí)的句型 (1) 比較級(jí)+than，表示“比更”e.g. Health is more important than wealth. 健康比財(cái)富更重要。 He got up earlier than I did this morning. 今天早上他起得比我早。(2) 比較級(jí)+ and+比較級(jí)，表示“越來(lái)越”。e.g. The story gets more and more exciting. 故事變得越來(lái)越激動(dòng)人心。 Our lives are getting better and better

22、. 我們的生活越來(lái)越好。(3) The+比較級(jí)，the+比較級(jí)，表示 “越，越”e.g. The more time you spend on it, the greater progress you will make.你在這上面花的時(shí)間越多，你的進(jìn)步就會(huì)越大。The more he talked, the more excited he grew. 他越說(shuō)越激動(dòng)。同級(jí)比較一般采用as.as句型，否定句可以用not so / as表示。e.g. He is as tall as his father. 他和父親一樣高。 I get up not so early as you. 我不如你起得

23、早。2) 最高級(jí)的表達(dá)方式 (1) the+ 最高級(jí)+ of/ine.g. Jim is the tallest of the three. 吉姆是三人中最高的。 He is the most diligent student in his class. 他是班上最勤奮的學(xué)生。(2) 選擇疑問(wèn)句e.g. Who is the tallest, Tom, Jack or Bill? 湯姆、杰克和比爾，誰(shuí)個(gè)子最高？(3) the+最高級(jí)+定語(yǔ)從句e.g. It is the most interesting book I have ever read. 這是我所讀過(guò)的最有趣的一本書。3) 比較級(jí)和

24、最高級(jí)的修飾語(yǔ)比較級(jí)和最高級(jí)的修飾語(yǔ)應(yīng)置于其所修飾的形容詞或副詞之前。常見(jiàn)的比 較級(jí)修飾語(yǔ)有much, still, a lot, even, far等。e.g. He worked much harder then. 那時(shí)他工作要努力得多。常見(jiàn)的最高級(jí)修飾語(yǔ)有almost, by far, far, much等。e.g. This is by far the most expensive bag in the shop.這是目前這家商店里最貴的包。Step 9 Exercises1.
