理工类职称英语考试语法学习笔记(9)

　　比较级：more than

　　注意：

　　1) 比较形式是否正确，如是否有类似more better这样重复比较的错误;

　　2)两者之间是比较级，三者以上是最高级，看看是两者还是三者或三者以上;

　　3)只有同类的人或物才能比较;比较不能包括自己， 常用other表示排除。

　　例如不能说：

　　He is taller than any students in this class.

　　而应说：

　　He is taller than any other student in this class.

　　4)修饰比较级的词有：much, even, far, by far, still, a lot, a bit 等，例如：

　　John did badly in the sports meet. I did even worse .

　　你能看出下句的问题吗?

　　His salary as a bus driver is more higher than a teacher.

　　该句有两个大错1)high的比较级为higher，2)主语his salary而比较对象是a teacher，两者不可比，怎样的表达才是对的呢?请选择：

　　His salary as a bus driver is much higher ______.

　　A.in comparison with a teacherB.than a teacher

　　C.than a teachers D.than that of a teachers

　　正确答案是C，也可以写成than that of a teacher

　　最高级the most of +比较范围 / 最高级+名词+that 定语从句，例如：

　　This is the most interesting film that I have ever seen.

　　the morethe more

　　The longer you wear glasses, the more you depend on them.

　　考试时，一般只要认准the 和比较级形式就不难判别。

　　其他表示比较意思的形式

　　A is superior / inferior to B

　　注意：superior/ inferior前不能再加 more 或者less; 用to不是用 than.

　　例如：

　　Humans are superior to animals in that they can use languages to communicate.

　　prefer rather than

　　例如：

　　I preferred to stay out in the cold rather than spend the night there.

　　Would ratherthan
