形容词和副词的比较级
一、定义
比较级用于两者(人或事物)的比较,表示其中一个比另一个"更……"或"较……",后面用连词than 连接另一个所比较的人或事物。
二、用法
1. 表示两个人或事物作比较时,形容词要用比较级形式,形容词比较级之后常用than引出比较的对象。
This pen is longer than that one. 这支钢笔比那支长。New York is bigger than Cambridge. 纽约比剑桥大。
2. 表示两者之间的选择,意为"哪一个更……"。
Who is taller, Lily or Lucy? 莉莉和露西相比,谁更高?
三、形容词比较级的变化
1. 形容词或副词的比较级的规则变化:
构成方式
例词
规则变化
单音节和部分双音节词
一般在词尾加-er,-est
small→smaller→smallest hard→harder→hardest
以不发音的字母e结尾的词,加-r,-st
large→larger→largest wide→wider→widest
以两个辅音字母加一个元音字母结尾的重读闭音节词,双写词尾的辅音字母,再加-er,-est
big→bigger→biggest thin→thinner→thinnest
以"辅音字母+y"结尾的词,变y为i,再加-er,-est
ugly→uglier→ugliest early→earlier→earliest

easily→more easily→most easily
2. 不规则变化
不规则变化
bad/badly→worse→worst good/well→better→best much/many→more→most
little→less→least far→farther/further→farthest/furthest old→older/elder→oldest /eldest
【易错警示】
1. farther/farthest和further/furthest的区别:
二者表示距离时,往往可互换,但是用于引申义,表示程度时,只能使用后者。
He can throw much farther/further than you. 他可以比你扔得远得多。
His suggestion is that Kate should be sent abroad for further education. 他的建议是凯特被派往国外进修。
2. older/oldest和elder/eldest的区别:
前者用于人或者物,可作定语和表语,可与than连用,而后者主要用于家人之间,表明长幼关系,往往用于人,不用于物,而且只作定语不作表语,也不与than连用。
I’m two years older than him. 我比他大两岁。
His elder brother works in a clothing factory. 他哥哥在一家服装厂工作。
四、形容词比较级前的修饰词
比较级前可以用much、a little、a lot、even、rather、still、any、a bit、far等词修饰,起强调作用。
Believe me, you really look much better than before. 相信我,你看起来真的比以前好多了。
He is a lot taller than me. 他比我高很多。They went there a little later than others. 他们比其他人稍微去晚一点儿。
It’s even bigger than an island. 它甚至比一座岛屿都大。He is far stronger than his brother. 他比他哥哥强壮得多。
五、形容词、副词比较级的用法
1. 最基本句型:主语 + be(is/am/are) + 形容词比较级 + than + 比较对象。
than后接人称代词时可以是主格或宾格。 than前后的比较对象必须是同一范畴,即同类事物之间的比较。
She is a little more outgoing than me. 她比我性格外向一点。
· 要具体表达重几斤、高几厘米、大几岁时:表示数量的词 + 形容词比较级 + than…
Tom is six years older than you. 汤姆比你大六岁。
· 比……大(长、多、宽……)几倍:…times + 形容词比较级 + than…"结构。
Our classroom is twice larger than yours. 我们的教室比你们的大两倍。
2. 比较级前可以用much、a little、a lot、even、rather、still、any、a bit、far等词修饰,起强调作用,不可用very、so、quite、too(只能修饰原级)等修饰。
It’s cold today, but it is going to be even colder tomorrow. 今天很冷,但明天会更冷。
This car is much better than that one.这辆车比那辆好得多。
John is only 15 years old, but he is even taller than his father.约翰只有15岁,但他甚至比他的爸爸还高。
3. 在含有or的选择疑问句中,如果有两者供选择,前面的形容词要用比较级形式。
Who do you think is more beautiful, Lucy or Lily? 你认为谁更漂亮,露茜还是莉莉?
4. 变得越来越……: get/become + 形容词比较级 + and + 形容词比较级
and连接同一个形容词的比较级。形容词为多音节词或一些双音节词,用more and more+原级。
It gets warmer and warmer when spring comes. 春天来了,天气变得越来越暖和了。
5. 越……就越……: the + 形容词比较级…, the + 形容词比较级…
The harder you work at your study, the better grades you will have. 你学习越努力,你的成绩就越好
6.……之一、第几大/小/高/矮……,往往用最高级,而不用比较级。
The Yellow River is the second longest river in China. 黄河是中国第二长河。
She is the second tallest girl in the class. 她是我们班第二高的女生。
The lake is the third largest lake in China. 这片湖是中国第三大湖。
Is Nanjing the second largest city in China? 南京是中国第二大城市吗?
Shanghai is one of the biggest cities in the world.上海是世界上最大的城市之一。
This car is one of the best cars.这辆车是最好车之一。
This flower is one of the most beautiful flowers. 这朵花是(这些中)最漂亮的花之一。
7. ……比其他的任何……都……: 形容容词比较级 + than any other + 单数可数名词
Li Lei is cleverer than any other student in the class.
=Li Lei is the cleverest student in the class. 李磊是班上最聪明的学生。
六、同级比较 as...as:和……一样
用于形容词、副词的同级比较。两个as的词性和用法不一样,第一个as是副词,后面接形容词或副词的原级,第二个as为连词。
Are you as friendly as your sister?你和你姐姐一样友好吗? I’m as tall as Nelly. 我和内莉一样高。
Tom runs as fast as Sam. 汤姆和萨姆跑得一样快。 Lily is not so outgoing as Lucy. 莉莉不如露西外向。
My book isn’t as new as hers. 我的书不如她的新。
【注意】这时含有not as/so...as的句子也有比较的含义,可以和含有比较级的句子进行转换。
Tom is not as short as Tim. 汤姆没蒂姆矮。 =Tim is not as tall as Tom. 蒂姆没有汤姆高。
=Tom is taller than Tim. 汤姆比蒂姆高。=Tim is shorter than Tom.蒂姆比汤姆矮。
【例题】Listening is just as as speaking in language learning.
A. important B. more important C. most important D. the most important
