Part 3 Grammar
一、比较状语从句
比较状语从句含有或暗含有“与……相比”的意思。除了鱿鱼炒什么than…或more…than…这种结构外，它还包括as+形容词/副词+as…，not so/as…as…，less…than…等结构。当句子里两个动词相同、时态也一样时，则第二个动词可以省略，比较从句就成了含蓄的从句。如果对比的东西很明显，那么为了避免重复，从句中有些成分、甚至整个从句都省略，因此这类句子往往不完整。
People aren’t so kind as they ud to be.
No, they’re becoming less kind. 是的，他们变得不那么友善了。
He is as quick in answering as his sister (is).
He answers as quickly as his sister (does).
He is not so/as quick as his sister.
在课文中你能找出几种表示比较的方式？在他们下面画上横线。
仔细阅读以下句子，思考as…as和so…as的用法和区别。
She is as old as I am.
He unlocked the door as quickly as he could.
She is not as intelligent as we think.
She is not so intelligent as we think.
由上述例句可以看出，as…as和so…as的含义_________(相同)，不同之处在于as…as用于_________句中，so…as用于_________句中。
