比较级的修饰语
much / even / a little / far 可以修饰比较级,very 不行。
much / even / far / a little + 比较级 + than
要点
- 能修饰比较级的词:much,even,still,far,a little,a bit,a lot。
- very 不能修饰比较级:要说 much better(不能 very better);very 只修饰原级(very good)。
- much / far 表示「……得多」,程度深;a little / a bit 表示「稍微」。
- even 表示「甚至更」:This book is even more interesting than that one.
- 「两个中较……的那个」用 the + 比较级:He is the taller of the two brothers.
- a bit / a little 后面必须接比较级,不能接原级:a bit colder(不是 a bit cold)。
- still 也能加强"更":still better、still more difficult(比 much 语气更书面)。
- 数词 + 单位整个放在比较级前面:two metres taller、three years older、ten per cent cheaper。
例句
Health is much more important than money.
健康比金钱重要得多。
The problem is far more serious than we thought.
这个问题比我们想的严重得多。
Could you speak a little more slowly?
你能说得稍微慢一点吗?
Today is even colder than yesterday.
今天比昨天甚至还要冷。
My uncle is three years older than my father.
我叔叔比我父亲大三岁。
This road is ten metres wider than that one.
这条路比那条宽十米。
易错提示
- 看到 very + 比较级基本可以判错:very better 是典型错误选项。
- a little / a bit 修饰比较级时不能拆开:a little bigger(不是 a little big)。
- 能加强的只有 much / far / a lot / a little / a bit / even / still 这一批;very / so / too 只配原级 —— 看到 very better 就判错。
- by far 的搭档是最高级(by far the best),不是比较级;把它和 much 弄混是这类题最常见的失分。
