9.用比较级表示最高级:
She is the tallest in the class. 可用以下几个句子转换:
① She is taller than any other student in the class.
② She is taller than any of the other students in the class.
③ She is taller than all the other students in the class.
④ She is taller than anyone el in the class.
⑤ No one is taller than she (her) in the class.
在英语学习中,为了使句子更家生动,表达更加准确,我们常使用形容词的比较级。
如:这种食物的味道绝对不差。This kind of food tastes not bad at all.
也可以译成:This kind of food tastes no less good.
又如:这种布由于很漂亮,也就不算贵。 This kind of cloth isn’t expensive becau it is beautiful.
也可译成:This kind of cloth is more beautiful than expensive.
这两个例句的后一种译法比起前一种来则更加地道,更有英语味。因此,如果能够恰当地使用形容词比较级的句型来翻译句子,则会使句子更加生动,准确。
一般来讲,人们使用的英语形容词比较机句型有以下常用的几种:
1.no less+adj+than(至少不比……差)
儿童英语谜语
如:A:This skirt is no less populan than that one.(这条裙子的流行程度不亚于那条)
B:She is no less active than she ud to be.(她和从前一样的活跃)
2.no more……than(通常表达否定,和……一样也不……)
如:A:Your story today is no more convincing than the one yesterday. 你今天讲的和昨天讲的一样也不令人信服
B:The greatness of a nation is no more determined by their numbers than the great-ness of a man determined by his height.一个人的伟大不能用他的高度来决定就如一个国家的伟大不能用他们的人口数量来衡量一样.
3. (1) more and more (2) all the more这两种句型都用来表达汉语的“越来越……”
如:A:Electronic computers become more and more uful in scientific rearch work.电子计算机在科研工作中变得越来越有用
B:The problem is becoming more and more Serious.问题变得越来越严重.
engageinC:It’s humid outside. Opening the windows will make it all the botter.外边潮湿,打开窗子会越来越热
