形容词比较级用法攻略

【形容词比较级适用范围】

1. 表示两者（人或事物）之间一方在某一方面超过或不及另一方时，要用比较级。例如：

It is much colder today than yesterday. 今天比昨天冷多了。

I am taller than Ted. 我的个子比特德的高。

This black pen is less expensive than that white one. 这支黑色钢笔没有那支白色的贵。

2. 同级比较。用形容词的原级也可以进行两者之间的比较。

①“not as / so+原级+as ...”表示前者不如后者。例如：

This story is not as / so long as that one. 这个故事没有那个故事长。

→That story is longer than this one. 那个故事比这个故事长。

=This story is shorter than that one. 这个故事比那个故事短。

②“as+原级+as”句式表示两者没有区别。例如： Her hair is as long as mine. 她的头发和我的一样长。

特别提醒

1. 在形容词比较级前可以加上much或a little等修饰词来表示程度，“much+比较级”意为“更……得多”；“a little+比较级”意为“更……一点儿”。例如： Our classroom is much bigger than theirs. 我们的教室比他们的（教室）大得多。

Im a little more outgoing than my younger sister. 我比我妹妹更外向一点儿。

2. 当两者之间进行比较时，比较的对象必须是同类事物，否则是不能进行比较的。下面，我们以“冬季，北京的天气比广东的（天气）冷得多。”一句为例：

【误】 In winter, the weather in Beijing is much colder than Guangdong.

【正】 In winter, the weather in Beijing is much colder than that in Guangdong.

【析】第一句之所以有误，是因为它将“北京的天气(the weather in Beijing)”与“广东(Guangdong)”作比较，“天气”与“城市”不属于同类事物，是不能进行比较的。正确的表达方法应在Guangdong的前面加上that in，即表示the weather in Guangdong。

3. 表达人或事物自身程度的逐渐变化，用“比较级+ and +比较级”。例如：

As winter is coming, the day is getting shorter and shorter. 冬天快来了，白天变得越来越短。

4. “the +比较级...，the +比较级”意为“越……，越……”。例如：

The more he eats, the fatter he gets. 他越吃越胖。

【用法延伸】

1. 当属同一范围的人或事物之间进行比较时，注意要在than后（表示比较对象的名词前）加上any other+单数名词或代词，否则就会出现与自身比较的矛盾现象。请看例句：伊莱扎比她所在班级里的其他任何一个同学更内向。

【误】 Eliza is quieter than any student in her class. （包括她自己）

【正】 Eliza is quieter than any other student in her class. （不包括她自己）

2. 当比较的双方不在同一范围内时，则不必加any other。例如：

China is larger than any country in Africa. 中国比非洲任何一个国家都大。（中国不在非洲境内，故any后不需要加other）

both用法知多少？

不定代词both意为“两者；两者都”，在句中可作主语、宾语、同位语或定语。例如：

Both of us want to go there. 我们两个人都想去那儿。(作主语)

We invited both to come to our farm． 我们邀请两个人都来我们的农场。（作宾语）

We both like to eat fish. 我们两个人都喜欢吃鱼。(作同位语)

They both like swimming. 他们两个都喜欢游泳。（作同位语）

both可以直接修饰名词，当名词前有限定词时，则只能用both of。例如：

Both brothers are clever. 兄弟俩都很聪明。 Both of the books are interesting. 两本书都很有趣。

●both的反义词为neither。
