新概念英语第二册比较等级和比较结构课件

1. 基本模式： as + 形容词或副词原级 + as-分句 否定式： not as / so + 形容词或副词原级 + as-分句 （1）基本用法一：两个不同的主语就同一方面进行比较。即主语不同，比较项目相同。 e.g. John is as bright as Bob. ——两人就聪明程度作比较 （2）基本用法二：同一主语就不同方面进行比较。即主语相同，比较项目不同。 e.g. The girl was as brilliant as she was beautiful. ——就女孩的聪明和美貌相比 （这姑娘既漂亮又聪明。） as … as结构 1 此种情况下as分句经常使用省略形式，即as后面只列出比较对象。 提示 可译为“既…又…”。 提示 重难点解析 26.2 比较结构 26.3 关于比较结构 用法的补充说明 （3）基本用法三：两个不同主语就不同方面进行比较。即主语不同，比较项目也不同。 e.g. One is as light as the other is heavy. ——两个物体就轻重作比较。 （一个轻，而另一个重。） 2. 变体一：as many / much + 名词 + as-分句 e.g. Take as much time as you like. I’ve always entered as many photo competitions as I can.  一般可译为“…，而…”。 提示 many修饰可数名词复数，much修饰不可数名词。 提示 重难点解析 26.2 比较结构 26.3 关于比较结构 用法的补充说明 3. 变体二： as + 形容词原级 + 名词词组 + as-分句 e.g. I don’t want as expensive a car as this. （名词词组是“a(n) +单数名词”） I can’t drink as sweet coffee as this. （名词词组是“零冠词+不可数名词”） 单数名词的顺序可以利用“so +形容词+ a +名词”这一结构助记，如so nice a day。 这种变体一般不能是“零冠词+复数名词”，复数名词通常只能用基本形式表达。 提示1 提示2 用这种变体形式，名词的意义受到强调；而用基本形式，形容词的意义受到强调。 提示3 重难点解析 26.2 比较结构 26.3 关于比较结构 用法的补充说明 1. 基本模式：形容词或副词比较级 + than-分句 否定式：less … than 或 not so / as … as 基本用法：两个不同主语就同一方面进行比较。即主语不同，比较项目相同。 e.g. John behaves more politely than Bob. This car runs less fast than that one. This car doesn’t run so / as fast as that one. more … than结构 2 此种情况下than-分句经常使用省略形式，即than后面只列出比较对象。 提示 重难点解析 26.2 比较结构 26.3 关于比较结构 用法的补充说明 2. 变体一：more / less / fewer + 名词 + than-分句 e.g. I have done more work this morning than he. I spent less money on clothing than my sister. You have made fewer mistakes in your homework than I have. 3. 变体二：不定冠词 / 零冠词 + 形容词比较级 + 名词 + than-分句 e.g. John is a more efficient worker than Jack. =John is a worker more efficient than Jack. 比较：George is as efficient a worker as Jack. =George is a worker as efficient as Jack. more既能修饰可数名词复数也能修饰不可数名词，less只能修饰不可数名词，fewer只能修饰可数名词复数。 提示 more … than结构的变体中，不定冠词位于形容词比较级之前，而as … as结构的变体中，不定冠词位于形容词原级之后。 提示 重难点解析 26.2 比较结构 26.3 关于比较结构 用法的补充说明 4. 变体三：定冠词 + 形容词或副词比较级 + of-词组 e.g. John is the brighter of the two boys. Of the two boys John behaves (the) more politely. Oxford is the older university of the two. 该变体只用于两者之间的比较。 形容词之前的定冠词不可省略。 提示1 提示2 当比较范围省略名词时，形容词之后也可以接名词，如上述最后一例。 提示3 重难点解析 26.2 比较结构 26.3 关于比较结构 用法的补充说明 1. as … as结构的修饰语 nearly, almost, just, exactly, about, twice, (three) times, quite, not nearly, not half, nothing like, by no means … 位置：位于as … as结构之前。 e.g. He loves Fern almost as much as we do. New drivers have twice as many accidents as experienced  drivers.  It’s not nearly as hot as last year.   2. more … than结构的修饰语 far, even, many, much, still, a lot, a (little) bit, rather, slightly, (three) times, not any… 位置：位于more … than结构之前。 比较结构的修饰语 3 重难点解析 26.2 比较结构 26.3 关于比较结构 用法的补充说明 e.g. She was far more intelligent than her sister.  The modified composition is a lot more readable than the original one. On the mountain it’s three degrees colder than in the valley. 3. 最高级前的修饰语 the second, the very, much the, nearly the, almost the, by far the, not quite the… e.g. Last year, China became the second largest economy in the world. It was by far the worst speech he had ever made.  That was much the best meal I have ever tasted. 这种修饰语也可由表示度量等概念的名词词组表示，如上述最后一例。 提示 注意very和much修饰最高级时，位置稍有不同。如“They wanted the very best quality.”。 提示 重难点解析 26.2 比较结构 26.3 关于比较结构 用法的补充说明 1. as … as结构表倍数 （1）基本形式： A + 动词 + N times as + 形容词或副词原级 + as + B 意义：A是B的N倍 e.g. This room is three times as large as that one. （这个房间是那个房间的3倍大。） The output of coal was four times as great as that of last year. （煤产量是去年的四倍。） When we are married, I’m sure I can work twice as hard as I do now. （我们结婚后，我肯定能比现在加倍努力地工作。） 比较结构表倍数 4 重难点解析 26.2 比较结构 26.3 关于比较结构 用法的补充说明 （2）变体形式：N times as + many / much +名词 + as 意义：N倍多的… e.g. They say they’re doing five times as many tests as they did just a year ago. （他们表示他们做的测试是一年前的五倍。） Pound for pound, gas possesses four times as much  energy as coal.  （同样的体积，天然气蕴含的能量是煤炭的四倍。） many修饰可数名词，much修饰不可数名词。 提示 重难点解析 26.2 比较结构 26.3 关于比较结构 用法的补充说明 2. more…than结构表倍数 （1）基本形式：A + 动词 + N times + 形容词或副词比较级 + than + B 意义：A是B的N倍 / A比B增加了N-1倍 e.g. Asia is four times larger than Europe. （亚洲是欧洲的四倍。/ 亚洲比欧洲大三倍。） An oxygen atom is about 16 times heavier than a hydrogen atom. （氧原子重量大约是氢原子重量的16倍。/ 氧原子比氢 原子大约重15倍。） Its profits are rising four times faster than the average company.  （其利润正以一般公司4倍的速度快速增长。） 重难点解析 26.2 比较结构 26.3 关于比较结构 用法的补充说明 （2）变体一：A + 动词 + 形容词或副词比较级 + than + B + by N times 意义：A是B的N倍 / A比B增加了N-1倍 e.g. Asia is larger than Europe by four times. （亚洲是欧洲的四倍大。/ 亚洲比欧洲大三倍。） （3）变体二：N times + more ＋名词 + than 意义：N倍多的… e.g. We have produced twice more grain this year than we did last year.  （我们今年的粮食产量是去年的两倍。） “A是B的N倍”还可用“A is N times + the size / length / width / height / depth / weight / number / amount… + of + B”表达，比如The earth is 49 times the size of the moon.（地球的大小是月球的四十九倍。）。 提示 重难点解析 26.2 比较结构 26.3 关于比较结构 用法的补充说明 备注 ①* This room is as three times large as that one. ②* He is as a good person as his father.  ③* The climate in Shenyang is warmer than Changchun. ④* Sound travels four times faster in water than in air. 意为“声音在水中的传播速度比在空气中快四倍。”   ① √ This room is three times as large as that one. ② √ He is as good a person as his father.   ③ √ The climate in Shenyang is warmer than that in Changchun. ④ √ Sound travels four times faster in water than in air. 意为“声音在水中的传播速度是在空气中的四倍。” 典型错误 5 重难点解析 26.2 比较结构 26.3 关于比较结构 用法的补充说明 基本模式：more A than B / less A than B 意义：“与其说B，不如说A” / “与其说A，不如说B” 用法：同一人或物就不同方面进行比较。 e.g. John is more daring than quick-witted. （与其说约翰脑子灵活，不如说他胆子大。） It is more a made-up story than a real occurrence. （那与其说是真发生的事情，不如说是杜撰的故事。） He was less hurt than frightened. （与其说他受到伤害，不如说他受了惊吓。） more … than结构的其他用法 1 该用法不适用加后缀-er的比较级形式，比如不能说“*I was angrier than frightened.”，而应该说“I was more angry than frightened.”。 除了形容词/副词外，more … than还可连接名词词组。 提示1 提示2 该用法的more … than可与less … than结构相互转换，比如：John is more quick-witted than daring. = John is less daring than quick-witted. 提示3 重难点解析 26.2 比较结构 26.3 关于比较结构 用法的补充说明 1. not so … as 基本模式：not so +形容词或副词+ as 意义：（前者）不如/不像（后者）那样… e.g. She is not so weak as she looks. 2. not so much … as 基本模式：not so much +名词/介词等+ as 意义：与其说（前者），不如说（后者） e.g. In many cases nursing is not so much a job as a way of life. （在很多情况下，护理与其说是一件工作，倒不如说 是一种生活方式。） not so … as与not so much … as 2 not so … as与not as … as结构一样，这是as … as结构的否定式，其语气比not as … as略强。 提示 重难点解析 26.2 比较结构 26.3 关于比较结构 用法的补充说明 The difference between the two words does not lie so much in meaning as in usage. （这两个词的区别与其说表现在语义上，不如说表现 在用法上。） Human felicity is produced not so much by great pieces of good fortune that seldom happen as by little advantages that occur every day. （与其说人类的幸福来自偶尔发生的鸿运，不如说来 自每天都有的小实惠。） What bothered me was not so much what he said as how he said it. （困扰我的不是他说了什么，而是他怎么说的。） 相当于less …than结构的含义，not so much=less，as=than。 与more … than，rather than结构的含义相反。 提示1 提示2 重难点解析 26.2 比较结构 26.3 关于比较结构 用法的补充说明 这是more … than结构的一种否定形式，属普通比较结构。 提示 1. not more / -er than 基本模式：not + 形容词或副词比较级 + than 意义：（前者）不如/不像（后者）那样… e.g. John is not more courageous than Tom. （约翰不如汤姆勇敢[两个都很勇敢]。） John is not better than Tom. （约翰不如汤姆好[两个都是好人]。） John was not richer than Tom. （约翰不如汤姆更富有[两个都是富人]。） not more / -er than与no more / -er than 3 重难点解析 26.2 比较结构 26.3 关于比较结构 用法的补充说明 2. no more / -er than 基本模式：no + 形容词或副词比较级 + than 意义：（两者）都不…/…同…一样不… e.g. John is no more courageous than Tom. = John is as cowardly as Tom. （约翰和汤姆都不勇敢[两个都是胆小鬼]。） John is no better than Tom. = John is as bad as Tom. （约翰并不比汤姆好多少[两个都是坏人]。） John was no richer than Tom. = John is as poor as Tom. （约翰并不比汤姆更有钱[两个都是穷人]。） no意为not at all，用来否定前后两部分。 该结构可理解为该形容词或副词的反义。 提示1 提示2 重难点解析 26.2 比较结构 26.3 关于比较结构 用法的补充说明 3. “no more than + 名词/数词”结构 意义：“只有；仅仅；不过” e.g. I am no more than an ordinary man. （我只不过是个普普通通的人。） Before, domains were always 25 bucks a year. Now, you can get them for no more than $10. （之前一个域名一年需要25美元，现在只要不到10美 元你就能得到它们。） 比较：“no less than + 数词”结构 （意义：“多达；有…之多” ） e.g. The guide contains details of no less than 115 hiking routes.  （这本导游指南包括多达115条徒步旅行路线的详细 介绍。） 重难点解析 26.2 比较结构 26.3 关于比较结构 用法的补充说明 1. 常见的“可等级名词” man, coward, poet, politician, sportsman, scholar, fool, coquette, success, help, difficulty … 特点：通常作可数名词，但在某些特殊结构中用作不可数的抽象意思。   2. “more（less / much / enough / a little / something / as much…）of a + 可等级名词”结构 意义和用法：表示“更具有（不大有/有点…）的品质/特质/样子”，大都可与对应的等级形容词转换使用，而句意不变。 可等级名词 4 重难点解析 26.2 比较结构 26.3 关于比较结构 用法的补充说明 e.g. He’s enough of a man to tell the truth. = He’s manful enough to tell the truth. He’s too much of a coward to tell the truth. = He’s too cowardly to tell the truth. It was as much of a success as I thought. = It was as successful as I thought. 可等级名词前的冠词a不能省略，也没有用复数名词的此类结构。 可利用它与“be of +抽象名词”的相似之处来学习。例如：They are of great help to learners of English. = They are very helpful to learners of English.。 提示1 提示2 重难点解析 26.2 比较结构 26.3 关于比较结构 用法的补充说明 ①* Jack is no more diligent than John. 意为“杰克不如约翰勤奋。” ②* He is not very much a musician as a composer. ③* She’s more of man than he is.   ① √ Jack is no more diligent than John. 意为“杰克和约翰都不勤奋。” ② √ He is not so much a musician as a composer. ③ √ She’s more of a man than he is. 典型错误 5 备注 重难点解析 26.2 比较结构 26.3 关于比较结构 用法的补充说明 She is a better speaker than _________ in the class. A. B. C. D. all the girls the other boys other any girl any boy 该题主要考查比较结构中比较对象的范围表达。该题的表意有两种可能：她比班上其他任何一个女孩都能言善辩；或者，她比班上任何一个男孩都能言善辩。表达前者应该用“any other girl”或“the other girls”，因为“she”属于“girls”的同一范围内，需要用other将自己排除在外；表达后者应该用“all boys”或“any boy”，因为“she”与“boy”不在同一范围内，通常使用any即可。 她比班上任何一个男孩都能言善辩。 专四真题链接 Mary is _________ hardworking than her sister, but she failed in the exam. A. B. C. D. no less no more not less no so 该题主要考查比较结构no less ... than，no more ... than和not less ... than的用法辨析。no less ... than意为“和…一样都”，than前后都是肯定的意思，no less hardworking than相当于“as hardworking as”；no more ... than意为“和…一样不”，than前后都是否定的意思；而not less…than属于普通比较结构，是less ... than的否定结构；D项no so不能与than连用。根据语境，该句为but连接的并列句，后一分句语义发生转折，前一分句应表达肯定的意思，因此A为正确答案。该题与《教程》P297 Ex.26F-17题类似。 玛丽和她姐姐一样用功，但是考试却没及格。 专四真题链接 It is not so much the language _________ the cultural background that makes the film difficult to understand. A. B. C. D. but nor like as 该题考查比较结构not so much A as B的用法。not so much A as B意为“与其说是A，倒不如说是B”，例如：He is not so much a writer as a reporter.（与其说他是一位作家，不如说他是一名记者。）根据语境，D为正确答案。其他选项均不能与not so much构成搭配。该题与《教程》P297 Ex.26F-6题类似。 与其说是语言，倒不如说是文化背景使得这部电影难以理解。 专四真题链接 Overpopulation poses a terrible threat to the human race. Yet it is probably ______ a threat to the human race than environmental destruction. A. B. C. D. no more not more even more much more 该题主要考查比较结构not more … than…与no more … than的用法辨析。由第二句中的Yet可知，第二句应是对第一句的否定，应表达“人口过剩对人类造成的威胁可能并不比环境破坏更大”之意，因此用B项not more ... than结构“不比…更…”才合乎句意。A项no more … than意为“两者都不…”，与前一句矛盾，C、D项与yet的转折意义不符。 人口过剩对人类造成了可怕的威胁。然而，它对人类的威胁可能并不比环境破坏更大。 专四真题链接 There are as good fish in the sea ______ ever came out of it. A. B. C. D. than like as so 该题考查比较结构“as +形容词原级+名词+ as-分句”的用法。“as +形容词原级+名词+ as-分句”为as … as结构的变体形式，意为“正如…一样，也…”，本句取自谚语。其他选项不构成比较结构，因此C为正确答案，直译为“捞出海的鱼像海里的鱼一样好”。 海中好鱼取不尽（喻指：虽然失去一个机会，还有很多机会）。 专四真题链接 It was ______ we had hoped. A. B. C. D. more a success than a success more than as much of a success as a success as much as 该题考查比较结构as … as以及可等级名词的用法。success为可等级名词，可用于“much of + a + 单数名词”结构中，更常见于同比较结构相结合的结构中，如：as much of a … as，more of a … than，less of a … than等，其他可等级名词如：man，coward，sportsman，scholar，fool，poet等，参见《教程》P54。该题只有C项结构正确，as much of a success as相当于as successful as，因此C为正确答案。关于可等级名词，参见《教程》P296。 这正如我们所期望的那样成功。 专四真题链接 Do you know Tim’s brother? He is _________ than Tim. A. B. C. D. much more sportsman more of a sportsman more of sportsman more a sportsman 该题主要考查可等级名词的用法。sportsman为可等级名词，可用于“much of / enough of / more of / less of / + a + 单数名词”等结构中。该题只有B项结构正确，more of a sportsman相当于more sportsmanlike，因此B为正确答案。 你认识蒂姆的弟弟吗?他比蒂姆更像个运动员。 专四真题链接 The less the surface of the ground yields to the weight of a fully-loaded truck, ______ to the truck. A. B. C. D. the greater stress is greater is the stress the stress is greater the greater the stress 该题考查比较结构“The more…, the more…”。该结构表示“越…，越…”，前后两个分句都应该使用自然语序。有时第二部分可以使用省略形式，本句的完整形式为the greater the stress is to the truck，动词is可以被省略，因此D为正确答案。 满载的卡车与地表的接触面越小，卡车承受的压力就越大。 专四真题链接 Issues of price, place, promotion, and product are ______ conventional concerns in planning marketing strategies. A. B. C. D. these of the most most of those among the most among the many of 该题考查among与最高级连用。among可用来表示一个比较范围，常与形容词最高级连用，意为“在最…的一类中”，例如：Shenyang is among the largest industrial cities in China，因此C为正确答案。 价格、地点、宣传和产品等问题都属于策划营销策略时最常规的一些关注点。 专四真题链接 He was _________ to tell the truth even to his closest friend. A. B. C. D. too much of a coward too much the coward a coward enough enough of a coward 该题考查可等级名词及too … to结构的用法。coward为可等级名词，可用于“enough of / much of / more of / less of / + a + 单数名词”等结构中。该题A项、D项结构均正确，但D项不合语义，A项too much of a coward可以与其后的不定式构成too … to结构，too much of a coward相当于too much cowardly，因此A为正确答案。关于可等级名词，参见《教程》P296。 他太胆小了，甚至不敢向他最亲密的朋友讲真话。 专四真题链接 _________ the two, Bob is _________ student. A. B. C. D. Of, more diligent In, more diligent Of, the more diligent In, the more diligent 该题考查比较结构“the +比较级+ of-词组”。比较结构“the +比较级+ of-词组”为more … than结构的一种变体形式，只用于两者之间的比较，形容词前的定冠词不能省略，意为“在两个…中，…较好”，因此C为正确答案。 在这两个学生中，鲍勃是较用功的一个。 专四真题链接 本讲主要介绍了形容词和副词的比较等级、三种主要的比较结构、几组比较结构的不同用法和意义。三种比较结构中，as…as结构和more…than结构是学习的重点，注意相比较的对象必须是同一范畴。as…as结构既可以用于两个不同的主语就同一方面进行比较，也可用于同一主语就不同方面进行比较，还可用于两个不同主语就不同方面进行比较，这几种用法都是基本模式，即as…as结构中间是形容词或副词原形。as…as结构的两个变体形式都与名词有关，一个为as…as结构中间是many/much所限定的名词，另一个为as…as结构中间是形容词所修饰的名词，其顺序是“形容词+不定冠词+名词”，这种结构下中心名词得到强调。more…than结构的学习可重点关注几个变体形式，特别注意“不定冠词/零 本讲总结 冠词+形容词比较级+名词+ than”的顺序与“as +形容词+不定冠词+名词+ as”的顺序不同。三类比较结构的修饰语都位于这些比较结构的前面。关于倍数表达，注意This book is three times as long as / longer than / the length of that one.都表达同样的意思，即“这本书是那本书篇幅的3倍”。特殊的比较结构是本讲的学习难点之一，注意它们与普通比较结构在意义上的区别，“more A than B”结构意为“与其说B，不如说A”，“not so much A as B”结构相当于“less A than B”结构的含义，意为“与其说A，不如说B”，强调在两者之间作出取舍。not more/-er than与no more/-er than结构的意义不同，not more/-er than是普通比较结构，与not so…as结构意义相同，而no more /-er than结构表示对两者都否定，意为 本讲总结 “（两者）都不…”。可等级名词及其搭配是另一学习难点，学习中可先熟悉常见的可等级名词，再结合本讲例句及《教程》第7讲P53-54的内容记忆“more of a +可等级名词”等搭配结构。 本讲总结 1.0 2. 0 3.0 4. 5.
