2013年职称英语备考辅导:比较级

2012-08-14 15:05:35 字体放大:  

比较级:more …than…  注意:

1) 比较形式是否正确,如是否有类似"more better"这样重复比较的错误;

2)两者之间是比较级,三者以上是最高级,看看是"两者"还是"三者或三者以上;

3)只有同类的人或物才能比较(可比性);比较不能包括"自己", 常用other表示排除。

例如不能说:

He is taller than any students in this class.

而应说:

He is taller than any other student(s) in this class.

4)修饰比较级的词有:much, even, far, by far, still, a lot, a bit 等,例如:

John did badly in the sports meet. I did even worse (than John did).

你能看出下句的问题吗?

His salary as a bus driver is more higher than a teacher. ( 他是个公共汽车司机,他的工资要比教师高。)

该句有两个大错1)high的比较级为higher,2)主语his salary(他的工资)而比较对象是a teacher,两者不可比,怎样的表达才是对的呢?请选择:

His salary as a bus driver is much higher ______.

A.in comparison with a teacherB.than a teacher

C.than a teacher's D.than that of a teacher's

正确答案是C,也可以写成than that of a teacher(请联系名词格的概念想一想)

最高级the most of +比较范围 / 最高级+名词+that (不是which)定语从句,例如:

This is the most interesting film that I have ever seen. (这是我看过的最有趣的电影。)

the more…the more…  The longer you wear glasses, the more you depend on them. (眼镜戴的时间越长越有依赖性。)

考试时,一般只要认准"the" 和比较级形式就不难判别。

其他表示比较意思的形式

A is superior / inferior to B(A 比B高级 / 低级)

注意:superior/ inferior前不能再加 more 或者less; 用to不是用 than.

例如:

Humans are superior to animals in that they can use languages to communicate.(人比动物高级在于人能用语言进行交际。)

prefer… rather than (宁可…而不…)

例如:

I preferred to stay out in the cold rather than spend the night there. (我宁可呆在外面受冷,也不在那儿过夜。)

Would rather…than… ……(用法和意思与上句型差不多)
