形容詞比較級用法_2


1. 表示兩者之中“較...”，用the+比較級+of the two。

I'll give you the bigger of the two steaks; I'm not very hungry.
我要把這塊比較大的牛排給你，我不怎么餓。

2. 定冠詞或指示形容詞+比較級+名詞表示比較。

The taller man is the boss of the restaurant and the shorter one is his brother.
那個身材較高的男人是餐館老板。較矮的那位是他弟弟。

3. 有少數以-ior結尾的屬于拉丁語的形容詞，如inferior(次于), junior(年幼的;下級的), posterior(之后), prior(之前), senior(年長的,上級的), superior(優于)等本身就有比較的意思，后面不接 than，常與介系詞to連用，后面用賓格。

I am two years junior to you.
我比你小兩歲。

該句相當于?

I am two years your junior.

I am your junior by two years.

I am two years younger than you (are).

類似結構還有?

be senior to(年長于)+賓格 ?be older than+主格

be superior to(優于)+賓格 ?be better than+主格

be inferior to(劣于)+賓格 ?be worse than+主格

4. 比較形容詞可以被修飾語如a little(一點), much(得多), even(更加), still(更加), far(...得多), very much, any, no, rather, a lot (a great deal), a little (a bit)等修飾，但不可用very修飾，表示某種程度。

The sun is a lot bigger and brighter than the moon.
太陽比月亮大得多、亮得多。
