這張照片比那張漂亮。②Heismorecarefulthantheothers.

他比其他人更仔細。③Tomdrawsmorecarefullythanhedidtwoyearsago.湯姆現(xiàn)在畫畫比兩年前更認真。[例句]

英語中一些多音節(jié)形容詞、副詞,其比較級形式是在該詞前加more。除了多音節(jié)形容詞、副詞變比較級要用more之外,部分雙音節(jié)詞,如careful,tiring,boring,slowly等變比較級也是在詞前加more。由此可見,多音節(jié)形容詞及部分雙音節(jié)形容詞、副詞比較級的句式結(jié)構(gòu)為：A+謂語+more+多音節(jié)形容詞（副詞）/部分雙音節(jié)形容詞（副詞）+than+B。[拓展]常見的不規(guī)則形容詞、副詞的比較級變化:good/well→betterbad/badly→worsemuch→moremany→morelittle→less,far→farther/further

2.比較級前通常可用far,even,alot,abit,much,alittle等來修飾。如:Thatwasamucheasierjob.

那是件容易得多的工作。
