⑥某些以-ior结尾的形容词进行比较时,用to代替than。这些词有inferior(劣等的,次的)、superior(较
好的,优于??)、junior(资历较浅的)、senior(资格较老的)、prior(在??之前)等;
He is superior to Mr. Zhang in chemistry.
⑦在比较从句中为了避免重复,我们通常用that(those)、one(ones)代替前面出现的名词。that指物,one既可指人又可指物。that可代替可数名词单数和不可数名词,而one只能代替可数名词;
The book on the table is more interesting than that(或the one)on the desk. A box made of steel is stronger than one made of wood. ⑧否定词+比较级
该结构用否定形式表示肯定意义。要掌握该结构的用法,须注意以下几点: ▲该结构多为“can't /couldn't +比较级”的形式
I can't agree with you more.我再同意你的意见不过了。(或:我完全同意你的意见。)
The weather couldn't be worse.天气再糟糕不过了。 He couldn't have done better.他做得再好不过了。
▲用于该结构中的否定词除了not之外,还有no,never,nothing等 This could give her no greater pleasure.这使她再高兴不过了。 There's nothing cheaper.这东西再便宜不过了。
There is no greater love than that of a man who lays down his life for his friends. 为朋友而放弃生命的爱是最伟大的爱。
▲当该结构中的比较级为less时,其意义为“一点也不”
试比较:He couldn't care more.他非常介意。(或:他最关心不过了。)
He couldn't care less.他毫不介意。(或:他最漠不关心了。)
注意:反过来用肯定形式表示否定意义。这种用法主要见于:
▲know better than+不定式。这种结构意为“不至于”
You have a better command of French than to make such mistakes. 你的法语较好,不至于犯这样的错误。 He is more experienced than to do such a thing.

他比较有经验,不至于做这样的事。
▲more than…can。这种句型形式上是肯定,实际上有否定含义
The boys in the street have become very insolent and it is more than flesh and
blood can bear.
街上的男孩变得非常无礼,到了人所不能忍受的地步。 The beauty of the place is more than I can describe. 那地方美得无法形容。
⑨倍数表达法
▲A is three(four, etc.)times the size(height, length etc.)of B. The new building is four times the size(the height)of the old one.
这座新楼是那座旧楼的四倍大(高)/这座新楼比那座旧楼大(高)三倍。 ▲A is three(four, etc.)times as big(high, long, etc.)as B.
Asia is four times as large as Europe. 亚洲是欧洲的四倍大/亚洲比欧洲大三倍。 ▲A is three (four, etc.)times bigger(higher, longer, etc.)than B.
Your school is three times bigger than ours.你们的学校比我们的学校大三倍。 用times表倍数通常用于三倍以上,两倍可以用twice或double. 3.最高级的用法
①三者或三者以上相比,表示最高程度时,用“the +最高级”的结构表示。这种句式一般常有表示比
较范围的介词短语;
Zhang Hua is the tallest of the three. He works(the)hardest in his class.
②最高级可被序数词以及much、by far、nearly、almost 、by no means、not quite、not really、nothing like
等词语所修饰;
This hat is by far / much / nearly / almost / not nearly / by no means / not quite / nothing like the biggest.
③表示“最高程度”的形容词,如excellent、extreme、perfect等,没有最高级,也没有比较级。
④形容词最高级修饰作表语或介词宾语的名词、代词时,被修饰的词往往省略;

He is the tallest(boy)in his class.
⑤作状语的副词最高级前可以不加定冠词。 Of all the boys he came(the)earliest. 4.形容词和副词前面使用冠词的情况
①形容词最高级前一般要加定冠词,副词最高级前可不加冠词;
②形容词最高级前有时加不定冠词,或不加冠词,不表比较,表示“非常”; He is a most clever young policeman.(most=very) The film is most interesting.(most=very) ③as+形容词+a+单数名词;
This is as good an example as the other is. ④表示两者间“较??的一个”比较级前加the; who is the older of the tow boys?
⑤在“the + 比较级??,the + 比较级??”结构中; ⑥在same前一般要加the;
⑦What +a/an+形容词+单数可数名词=How+形容词+ a/an+单数可数名词 What an interesting film it is!=How interesting a film it is! ⑧so和such的用法
so + 形容词 / 副词 + that …
so + 形容词 + a(n)+ 单数可数名词 + that … so + many / much / little / few + 名词 + that … such + a(n)+ 形容词+单数可数名词 + that … such + 形容词 + 不可数名词 + that … such + 形容词 + 复数名词 + that … 下列词组中为什么只能用so不可用such?
so much progress、so many people、so little food、so few apples等。 因为名词受many, much, little, few等表示“多或少”意义的词修饰。 下列这句中such用得对不对?(对)。为什么? These are such little boys that they can’t dress themselves. 因为little在这儿表示“小”,而不是表示“少”的意思。 下列so的用法是错误的:so difficult problems, so hot weather

为什么?因为problems是复数,weather是不可数名词。
⑧有些形容词前加the 成为名词。如the poor, the rich 等。 5.由as/so组成的形容词或副词短语 ①as much as +不可数名词:多达
Each stone weighs as much as fifteen tons. ②as many as +可数名词:多达
