5. 形容词比较级与最高级有关句型
1)as +形容词词原级+ as(和...一样); not +as/so ++形容词词原级+ as(不如,不及)Tom is as tall as John.
Mary is not so/as tall as Tom.
◆ 注意 :as…as 句型可与表示重量、时间、距离、数量、价格等名词连用,构成形容词词组,表示“重达……,长达……, 多达……,”等。例:
This tree is as tall as 10 meters.
The winter comes as early as October.
2) 形容词比较级+than,表示“比…更…”
This room is larger than that one.
A. 比较级前可加下列程度副词:even, a lot, a bit, a little, still, much, far, yet, by far 等。但by far一般用于强调最高级。用于比较级时通常放在比较级后面,如放在前面,应在两者中间加the.。例:
He is taller by far than his brother.
He is by far the taller of the two brothers.
He works even harder than before.
B. 某些以-or结尾的形容词(如:superior, junior, senior等) 进行比较时,用to代替than.。但在superior前的程度副词,只能用far。例:
He is far superior to Jane in English.
C. 为了避免重复,比较从句中常用that (those), one (ones), 代替前面出现的名词。That 指物, 代替单数可数名词和不可数名词,one 既可指物又可指人,只能代替可数名词。例:
The book on the table is more interesting than that on the desk.
A box made of iron is stronger than one made of wood.
D. more…than…可以表示“与其说…不如说,不是…而是“。例:
He was more angry than disappointed.他没有失望,只是感到愤怒。
He was more of an artist than a teacher. 与其说他是个教师,不如说他是个艺术家。
3)too + 形容词(或副词)+ to do 表示“太…以致不能…”,含否定意义。
例:He is too young to go to school..= He is so young that he couldn’t go to school
4) the same as…, the same + 名词+ 表示“与…相同,与…一样。例:
Today’s typewriter keyboard is the same as Shole’s 1867 key-board..
I want the same shirt as my friend is wearing.
5) The +比较级+ 主语+谓语, the +比较级+ 主语+谓语,表示“越…越, 愈…愈”
The more you argue with him, the less notice he takes.
