[注2] 两个概念的表示法：1) 若干个最大中的一个可用 "one of+最高级" 表示, 如: "What about horse-racing?" - "I should say that that is one of the most popular sports in Great Britain." 2) "第2, 3, 4…大" 可用 "the 序数词+最高级" 表示, 如： My home town is the second largest city in our province. [注3] most前，如果没有the,则不是表示比较，而表示 "很", "非常", 如: The present world situation is most favorable for the people. The meeting proceeded in a most friendly atmosphere. 句型［…否定词…+比较级…］ 1. I never saw a prettier sight. 2. No other book has had a greater influence on my life. 3. I will say this, that the best shot in existence could not have done it more beautifully 4. "How about a game of bridge?" - "I can't think of a better idea." 5. When you come to think of it, there is nothing in the world more potent-and more impotent - than words [注] 从反面表达最高比较级的方式很多，甚至可以不用比较级的词语，如： Nothing ancient or modern seems to come near it. (come near 与…相比) In point of strength, he is second to none. (second to none独一无二) No one is to be compared with him for resourcefulness. He has no equal in playing ping-pong ball. 句型［…否定词语…+so+形容词/ 副词+as+被比对象］ 1. No country suffered so much as England. 2. No war is so great as the European war. 3. There is nothing I like so much as playing football. 4. Nothing is so easy as this. 5. None is so blind as those that won't see. [注] 极比句中表示范围的词语，除了用差比句附注第三列出的词以外，还有以下几种。 1) 用that引出的从句表示范围: That is the most important discovery (that) ever made by man. 2) 用in 引出的短语表示范围: This is the busiest street in the city. 3) 用of 引出的短语表示范围: Of all the writers of the time Lu Shun enjoyed the greatest popularity among the people. 4) 用其他介词短语表示: Mr. Zhu is the strictest among the teachers of our school. It is the finest thing under the sun. 5) 用条件句表示范围: "If there is one thing I do not like, it is a crying child…" "If there is a scoundrel upon earth, that scoundrel's name is HEEP." 比例句 句型［(从句) The+形容词比较级/ 副词比较级…, (主句) the+形容词比较级/ 副词比较级…］( 第1个the是关系副词，有 "by how much" 之意，第2个the是指示副词，有 "by so much" 之意。) 1. The harder you work, the greater progress you will make. 2. The sooner we begin our work, the sooner we shall finish it. 3. The more a man knows, the more he discovers his ignorance. 4. "How long is he going to stay there?" - "I don't know exactly, but… the longer he stays the better." 5. The more I think of it, the happier I am. [注1] 当比较级作表语而又不处于句首时, 可以不用the 相关联。 如：When we encounter more difficulties, we should be more spirited; when we are more at danger, we should be more courageous. [注2] 注意本句型可省略的成分较多, 常见于谚语、俗语中 如： The sooner, the better. = the sooner you do it the better it will be. = By how much sooner you do it, by so much better it will be. = In whatever degree sooner you do it, in that degree better it will be. The more, the merrier. The more, the better. [注3] 还有一些带比较级的词组，也含有比例发展的意味；但这些词组多用于表示同一事物的发展程度，一般不带被比对象。1) "…ever+比较级+ (and+比较级)…" 如：The story gets ever more exciting. Our country is growing ever richer and stronger. 2) "…+比较级+and+比较级…" 如：…his poor cheek has turned ever thinner and paler. 3) "…the+比较级…" 这大多是一种习惯用语。 如： So much the worse. a change for the worse all the more = more and more (责任编辑：admin) |
