⑽ like...very much、like...better(=prefer)、like...best的用法:三個(gè)短語(yǔ)分別表示“非常喜歡”、“更喜歡”、“最喜歡”。如:I like baseball very much.(我非常喜歡棒球)/ Do you like butter better than cheese?( / They like hamburgers best.
⑾“quite/what+a+形容詞+名詞”的用法:記住:①quite/such/what...+a+形容詞+名詞;②too/so/how+形容詞+a+名詞;③rather+a+形容詞+名詞 = a+ rather+形容詞+名詞。如:I have never seen such a strange guy(家伙).(我從未見(jiàn)過(guò)這樣奇怪的家伙) / It is quite a nice day for a walk.(這真是散步的好日子)
⑿ how 的幾個(gè)短語(yǔ):how often“多常,每隔多久”,用于一般時(shí)態(tài),對(duì)表示頻度的詞語(yǔ)進(jìn)行提問(wèn); how soon“多久以后”,用于將來(lái)時(shí)態(tài); how long“多久”,用于過(guò)去時(shí)、完成時(shí)或其他時(shí)態(tài); how many times“多少次”,用于過(guò)去時(shí)或完成時(shí),對(duì)總計(jì)次數(shù)進(jìn)行提問(wèn); how much“多么,多少”,對(duì)程度進(jìn)行提問(wèn),也可以對(duì)數(shù)量(不可數(shù))或金錢進(jìn)行提問(wèn)。如:How long have you been like this?(你這樣已經(jīng)多久了?)/ How often does he wash his face?(他每隔多久洗一次臉?)
⒀ much、more與most的用法:這三個(gè)詞除了是形容詞作名詞的修飾語(yǔ)之外,還是程度副詞,much表示“很”,修飾原級(jí)形/副,more表示“更”用來(lái)構(gòu)成多音節(jié)形/副的比較級(jí),most表示“最”用來(lái)構(gòu)成多音節(jié)形/副的最高級(jí)。此外,much也可以修飾比較級(jí)形/副。如:This park is much more beautiful than that one.(這個(gè)公園比那個(gè)漂亮多了)/ It is the most instructive film I have ever seen.(這是我看過(guò)的最有教育意義的電影)
⒁ no more、no longer、not...any more、no...any longer的用法:表示時(shí)間,可以用no longer、not...ny more、no...any longer,而且no longer只能放在謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞之前;表示程度,可以用no more、not...any more.如:He no longer lived there.(他不再住在那里) / Tom wanted no more cakes.(他不想再要蛋糕) / He didn’ t smoke any more/longer.(他不再抽煙)
⒂ 被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)中,方式副詞一般放在be與謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞之間。如: The runner was badly hurt.(賽跑運(yùn)動(dòng)員受了重傷) / English is widely spoken in the world today.(如今世界上英語(yǔ)說(shuō)得很廣泛)
⒃ too...to...與so...that...的問(wèn)題:副詞too/so后面跟形容詞或副詞,to后面跟動(dòng)詞,that后面跟從句。Too...to... (“太.……以致不……”)是否定的結(jié)構(gòu),用于簡(jiǎn)單句;so...that...(“如此…以致…”)是肯定結(jié)構(gòu),用于復(fù)合句。如:The child is too young to join the army.(這孩子年齡太小還不能參軍)/ He is so strong that he can lift the heavy box.(他這么強(qiáng)壯,搬得動(dòng)那個(gè)重箱子。)
⒄ 既是形容詞也是副詞的單詞有:early, late, long, last, next, first, near, enough, much, all, hard, alone, fast, slow, high, low, straight等等。如:It was a long holiday.(那是個(gè)長(zhǎng)假)/ He stayed there very long.(他在那兒呆了好久)/ Think hard then you will find a way.(好好想你就會(huì)找到辦法)/ He is a very hard(難對(duì)付的) person.(他是個(gè)難玩的家伙)
⒅ farther與further的用法區(qū)別:表示地點(diǎn)、方向或距離時(shí)兩個(gè)詞同義,意思為“更遠(yuǎn)、較遠(yuǎn)”,但是further還表示“更多、進(jìn)一步、額外”等意思,此時(shí)不能換為farther. 如:They decided to go farther/further the next day.(他們決定第二天走得再遠(yuǎn)些)/ This problem will be further discussed.(這個(gè)問(wèn)題還要進(jìn)一步討論)/ Every one of them had their further studies after they left college.(他們每個(gè)人大學(xué)畢業(yè)后繼續(xù)進(jìn)修)
not nice (fairly) nice quite nice rather nice very nice
如:It’s quite a nice film.(這是部好片子)。(可能意味著不是一部最好的電影) / It’s rather a nice film.(這是部很不錯(cuò)的電影。)(意味著比大多數(shù)電影都好)
[注意]注意quite與rather后面的次序詞序。
⒇ maybe、possibly、perhaps的區(qū)別:maybe“可能、也許”,比另外兩個(gè)詞更不正式、更隨便、可能性不大;possibly“可能地、或者、也許”,可能性較大,在否定句和疑問(wèn)句中表示“無(wú)論如何”;perhaps“可能”,較為常用而且正式,可能性也不大。如:You could put it over there,maybe.(也許你可以把它放在那邊) / I couldn’t possibly have finished such a long book in such a short time.(我不可能在這么短的時(shí)間內(nèi)完成這么長(zhǎng)的一本書)/ I thought perhaps it was the letter you have been expecting.(我以為那也許就是你期盼的信件)
(21) most、mostly的區(qū)別:most作為形容詞和名詞時(shí)意思是“大多數(shù)的、大部分的”,作為副詞時(shí)意思為“最,十分、很”;mostly僅為副詞,意思為“主要地、多半地、大部分地”。如:I was at home most of the time when I was free.(我有空時(shí)大部分時(shí)間都在家)Most children are naughty.(大部分的孩子都淘氣)/ This is the most exciting part of the film.(這是電影中最令人興奮的部分)/She is mostly out on Sundays.(星期天她一般不在家)
(22) (be) worth、(be) worthy of的區(qū)別:worth一般被看作是介詞,后面接名詞或者動(dòng)名詞,用主動(dòng)表示被動(dòng)含義,還可以用副詞well修飾;worthy of表示“值得的、配得上的”,后面跟動(dòng)名詞的被動(dòng)形式。如:What is worth doing at all is worth doing well(凡是值得做的,就值得好好去做). / The house is worth ¥300,000.(房子價(jià)值30萬(wàn)元)/ This book is well worth reading several times.(這本書值得好好讀幾遍)/ It is a thing worthy of being seen.(這是一個(gè)值得看的東西)
(23)almost、nearly的區(qū)別:兩個(gè)詞意思相近,都表示“幾乎、將近”,大多數(shù)情況下可以互換,與否定詞連用時(shí)用almost不用nearly. almost no 相當(dāng)于hardly any(幾乎沒(méi)有)。如:He had done almost nothing today.(他今天幾乎沒(méi)有干什么) / We are almost/nearly there.(我們幾乎就到那里了)/ Almost nobody/Hardly anybody understood his words.(幾乎沒(méi)有人懂他的話)
(24) a bit與a little的區(qū)別:這兩個(gè)名詞短語(yǔ)經(jīng)常當(dāng)作副詞使用,修飾形容詞或副詞的原級(jí)或比較級(jí),可以互換,語(yǔ)氣比rather弱。如:This digital camera is a bit(a little) expensive.(這臺(tái)數(shù)碼相機(jī)有點(diǎn)貴)/ It is a little(a bit) colder than yesterday.(今天比昨天冷了點(diǎn))
另外,a little可以直接加不可數(shù)名詞,a bit 則采用“a bit + of +名詞(不可數(shù)或可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù))”的形式。如:I have got a bit of a cold.(我有點(diǎn)感冒)/ Go and get a little water for me, please.(請(qǐng)你去給我搞點(diǎn)水來(lái))
[注意] not a bit(=not at all)意為“根本不”,而 not a little則意為“非常,不是一點(diǎn)”。
如:He is very old now.(他現(xiàn)在很老了) / They ran quite fast.(它們跑得相當(dāng)快) / The weather looks rather bad.(天氣看上去相當(dāng)糟) / I am so happy!(我是如此的快樂(lè))
☆表示兩者之間沒(méi)有差別時(shí),使用句型:
主語(yǔ)(第一個(gè)人物) + 謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞 + as + 形容詞/副詞原級(jí) + as + 第二個(gè)人物 +….
如:He is as excited as his younger sister.(他和他妹妹一樣興奮)/ Lily rode her bike as slowly as an old lady.(莉莉騎車像老太太一樣慢)/ They picked as many apples as the farmers (did).(他們摘的蘋果和農(nóng)民一樣多)
☆表示第一個(gè)人比不上第二個(gè)人時(shí),使用句型:
主語(yǔ)(第一個(gè)人物) + 謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞(否定式) + as / so + 形容詞/副詞原級(jí) + as + 第二個(gè)人物+….
如:He is not so / as excited as his younger sister.(他沒(méi)他妹妹那么興奮) / Lily did not ride her bike so / as slowly as an old lady. (莉莉騎車不像老太太那樣慢) / They didn’t pick so / as many apples as the farmers (did). (他們摘的蘋果不如農(nóng)民多)
如:I think English is less difficult than maths.(我認(rèn)為英語(yǔ)不比數(shù)學(xué)難)/ Do you think it less important to learn a foreign language?(你認(rèn)為學(xué)外語(yǔ)不那么重要嗎?)
(3)講述某人/物是一群之中最突出的一個(gè)時(shí),用最高級(jí)。句型是:
主語(yǔ)(sb./sth) + 謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞 +(the) +形容詞/副詞最高級(jí) +in / of ….
如:The Changjiang River is the longest in China.(長(zhǎng)江是中國(guó)最長(zhǎng)的河流) / He jumped (the) highest of the three (boys).(三個(gè)男生中他跳得最高)
4、關(guān)于比較等級(jí)的重要注釋:
1、以上六個(gè)句型中,如果動(dòng)詞是及物或不及物動(dòng)詞,則后面用副詞;如果后面是連系動(dòng)詞,則后面用形容詞。如:This car is the fastest of the four.(形容詞)(這輛汽車是四輛之中最快的)/ This car runs (the) fastest of the four.(副詞)(這輛汽車是四輛之中跑得最快的)
2、“比較級(jí)+and+比較級(jí)”表示“越來(lái)越……”。如:The weather is getting warmer and warmer.(天越來(lái)越溫暖了)
