形容词 副词的比较级用法

Answer 1

形容词、副词的比较级的用法既是该类语法的重点也是难点。研读历届高考题不难发现，高考对形容词和副词比较级的用法的考查涉及到了多个方面。为了便于同学们学习，下面笔者就其用法的一些重要结构作一归纳并附以练习，以期同学们对此能熟练掌握。

　　1.“as+adj/adv+as或not so(as)+adj/adv+as.”句型。该句型常用来描述两个比较对象的程度上的相似或不同(即平时说的“等级比较和不等级比较”)。例如：

　　My computer is not so(as) expensive as yours.我的电脑不如你的贵重。

　　2.“as many/few+可数名词复数+as”或“as much/little(少的)+不可数名词+as”。前者描述数目上的接近，后者描述量的相近。例如：

　　You may borrow as many books as you can.你能借多少书就借多少。

　　“Drink as much water as you can.”the doctor said to him.医生对他说到：“你要尽可能的多喝些水。”

　　3.“主语+比较级+than any other…”结构表示：主语所描述的事物比其他任何一个都……比较级形式表示最高级含义。例如：

　　Li Ming is much cleverer than any other student in their class.李明是他们班中最聪明的学生。

　　注意：若比较范围不同，than后应用“any+可数名词的复数形式+其他”。例如：

　　China is larger that any countries in Africa.中国比非洲上的任何国家都大。

　　4.诸如not,never之类的否定词与形容词或副词的比较级连用，表示最高级含义。意为：再没有比…更…的了。例如：

　　It is not a better idea.这是再好不过的一个办法了。

　　I have never heard such an interesting story.我从来没有听过比这更有趣的故事了。

　　5.“形容词+to”结构也可表示比较含义。例如：

　　This kind of car is superior in quality to that.这种汽车的质量比那一种好得多(superior to意为：优于；胜过。)

　　Li ping is three years senior to Liu Gang.李平比刘刚大三岁。(senior to意为：年长于；资格老于；地位高于。)

　　6.“no+比较级+than”结构表示对两个比较对象都进行否定(可由neither…nor…结构来改写)。例如：

　　I’m no more foolish than you.我们俩都不傻。(相当于Neither I nor you is foolish.)

　　7.“not more+比较级+than”结构表示在程度上前者不如后者。例如：

　　This book is not more interesting than that one.这本书不如那本书有趣。(相当于The book is less interesting than that one.)

　　8.“形容词比较级+than+形容词”，意为：与其…倒不如…。例如：

　　Jack is much harder than clever.与其说杰克聪明，倒不如说他学习用功。

　　9.would rather…than, prefer…to…, prefer to do…rather than…这三个句型表示“宁愿…而不愿…；喜欢…胜过…；宁愿做…而不愿做…”含义。虽无比较级形式，但表示比较级含义。例如：

　　She would rather die than give in.她宁死不屈。

　　He preferred to go out rather than stay home.他宁愿出去也不愿呆在家里。

　　10.“The+比较级…，the+比较级…”。该结构意为“越…，越…”。例如：

　　The more difficult the questions are, the less likely he is able to answer them.问题越难，他回答出来的可能性就越小。

　　11.what有时也可以表示“比较”关系，说明两种事物的相同或相似性。what的该种用法常用于书面语，用来加强修辞效果，含有比喻含义，相当于as，意为“好比…；正如…；就像…一样”。what的该类用法共有3种情况：

　　(1)A is to B what C is to D

　　Twelve is two what twenty-four is to four.十二比二就等于二十四比四。

　　(2)what C is to D, A is to B

　　What food is to the body, a book is to the mind.书籍对于思想犹如食物对于身体。

　　(3)what C is to D, that A is to B

　　What the gun is to a soldier, that the pen is to a writer.作家的笔犹如战士的枪。

Answer 2

用法1：当A.>B 或 A>B时，用比较级句型：A+谓语（be） +形容词比较级+than+B,如 ：The room is bigger than that one 也就是说，两人或两物进行比较时，要用比较级
2： 主语+谓语(系动词)+ 形容词比较级+than+ 对比成分。那就是，含有形容词比较级的主句+than+从句。注意丛句常常省去意义上和主句相同的部分，而只剩下对比的成分。

　　我们老师的个子比我们的高。
　　It is colder today than it was yesterday.
　　今天的天气比昨冷。
