superior的常见意思是“较好的，优得”。比如：Our side has the superior position.

superior的第二意思是“（在级别、重要性或职位上）更高的”。 比如：If your superior officer asks you to do something, you should obey.如果你的长官让你做某事，你应该服从。
superior的第三个意思是“有优越感的，高傲的”。比如：Finch gave a superior smile.芬奇富有优越感地一笑。He always looks so superior.他总是显得那么有优越感。The other girls disliked her superior manner.别的女孩子不喜欢她那高傲的态度。
形容词inferior 的第一个意思是“下等的，下级的，地位低的”。比如：They were socially inferior to him.他们在社会地位上不如他。

考点释疑：superior（优于）、inferior（劣于）、nior（年长于）、junior（年轻于）等都是拉丁语转为英语的形容词。它们表示比较时，后面要加to，to后面跟名词或代词，而不能用than。因为它们自身为比较级，所以不接比较级more和最高级most，这也是这两词的考点。如：bombard
搞笑的英文名She is superior to me in English.她英语比我好。Synthetic fabric is inferior to cotton fabric.合成纤维织物不如棉织品好。She is nior to me by three years(=She is three years nior to me)。她比我大三岁。She is junior to TOM。她比汤姆年轻。
