語法:重要的比較結(jié)構(gòu)用法歸納

字號:

1. as…as 結(jié)構(gòu)。該結(jié)構(gòu)的意思是“與…一樣”,其間應(yīng)接形容詞原級,不能用比較級或級。如:
    He is as tall as his father. 他與他父親一樣高。
    He is as busy as before. 他還是像以前那樣忙。
    在否定句中第一個(gè)as也可換成 so,其意為“不如”:
    He is not as [so] tall as his father. 他不如他父親高。
    He is not as [so] busy as before. 他不像以前那樣忙。
    2. more and more與 the more…, the more…:前者表示“越來越……”,后者表示“越……,越……”。如:
    Our country is getting more and more powerful. 我們國家越來越強(qiáng)大。
    The more we get together, the happier we will be. 人聚得越多,我們越快活。
    3. more than 與less than:前者“(指數(shù)量)多于”、“不只是”、“非?!钡?,后者表示“少于”、“比……少”。如:
    I’ve known him for more than 10 years. 我已認(rèn)識他10多年了。
    He is more than a father to her. 他待她勝過父親。
    She was more than kind to us. 她對我們很友好。
    It cost me less than 10 pounds. 我買它沒要上10英鎊。
    She eats less than she should. 她吃得比她應(yīng)該吃的少。
    4. more …than 與 less…than:前者表示“比……多,比……更”,后者表示“比……少,不如……”。如:
    He has more books than me. 他的書比我多。
    He is more careful than the others. 他比其他人更仔細(xì)。
    I got less money than the others did. 我比別人得到的錢少。
    注:兩者均可表示“與其……不如”,但詞序不同。如:
    He is less a teacher than an expert. / He is more an expert than a teacher. / He is not so much a teacher as an expert. 與其說他是老師,不如說他是專家。
    5. “no+比較級+than”結(jié)構(gòu):這類結(jié)構(gòu)的實(shí)際意思是對待比較的兩個(gè)對象進(jìn)行否定,相當(dāng)于該原級形容詞或副詞使用as…as結(jié)構(gòu)的意思。如no better than = as bad as,意為“與……一樣不好”,no faster than = as slow as,意為“與……一樣不快”,no taller than = as short as,意為“與……一樣不高”等。
    6. no more than與not more than:兩者均可表示數(shù)量,前者表示“僅僅”、“只有”(= only),強(qiáng)調(diào)少;而后者表示“不多于”、“至多”(= at most)。如:
    It is no more than five miles to the station. 去車站只有5英里。
    It is not more than five miles to the station. 去車站最多5英里。
