比较有两种基本形式,相等比较和不等比较。相等比较的基本句型为:主语+谓语+as+形容词或副词原级+as+被比较对象。请看下面一句话的比较:
Walking fast uses up as many calories as running slowly.
其中被比较对象为running slowly.但要注意有时出现的一句话只是形式上的相等比较,但在含义上却是不等比较。像almost,nearly,practically通常表示还差一点,不及等。不等比较的基本句型为:主语+谓语+比较级+than+被比较对象。此外,以比较级形式可表达最高级含义。如下面一句话:
No other student studies as hard as peter.因此,应是彼特学习最刻苦。
在四级听力考试题目中,直接涉及比较题的内容不多。但我们在这里仍然把它作为一项技巧列出,一是因为在短文中会有体现,二是因为这将为六级打下基础。因此,希望考生也把它重视起来。关于比较句式,一要抓住比较对象,二是掌握常见的比较句式。
下列是一些常见的比较句式:as…as…,the same as,比较级 + than,prefer…to…,would rather…than等。在比较对象上,注意that、one的指代;此外,还有句子成分的省略。例子如下,
原文:
W: I think I'll wear my red dress to the party tonight.
M: Can't you wear your blue one? I like it much better.
Q: How does the man feel about the woman's red dress?
选项:
A) He hates it.
B) He likes it better than the blue dress.
C) He doesn't know which dress she means.
D) He doesn't like it as well as the blue one.
应选D)。
