比较等级

形容词和副词有原级、比较级、最高级三个等级,比较级的核心是”两者相比”,最高级的核心是”三者及以上相比”。

一、核心规则

  1. 规则变化:单音节及少数双音节词加 -er/-est(old—older—oldest);以重读闭音节结尾且末尾只有一个辅音字母时双写该辅音字母(big—bigger—biggest);”辅音字母+y”结尾改 y 为 i 再加 -er/-est(busy—busier—busiest);以 e 结尾直接加 -r/-st(large—larger—largest)。
  2. 多音节及部分双音节词前加 more/most:important—more important—most important;少数单音节词特别是分词形容词也用 more/most(fond, pleased)。
  3. 两种形式并存:clever—cleverer / more clever;able—abler / more able;narrow—narrower / more narrow。
  4. 不规则变化:good/well—better—best;bad/badly/ill—worse—worst;many/much—more—most;little—less—least;far—farther/further—farthest/furthest;old—older/elder—oldest/eldest(elder/eldest 只作定语,表长幼)。
  5. as…as 结构:第一个 as 是副词,后接形容词或副词原级;第二个 as 可作介词(后接名词/代词)或连词(后接从句)。否定句中第一个 as 可换成 so。
  6. 比较级的范围限定:比较级句式中被比较的对象必须同类、可排除自身,常用 than any other + 单数名词 或 than any of the others。
  7. as…as 的修饰语置于第一个 as 之前:(not) nearly, almost, just, exactly, not quite, half, twice, three times, 30 per cent 等。He doesn't play half as well as his sister.
  8. 最高级前一般用 the,但五种情况不用:① 副词最高级前的 the 可省;② 形容词最高级作表语时有时可省;③ 未与别人比较时(He’s busiest on Monday.);④ 前已有名词所有格或物主代词(my best friend, China’s second largest island);⑤ most 表示”非常”而非最高级时(a most amazing person)。

二、结构与公式

  • 原级比较:as + 原级 + as(否定 not as/so + 原级 + as)
  • 数量比较:as much + 不可数名词 + as / as many + 可数名词复数 + as
  • 比较级:比较级 + than;修饰语用 much, far, a lot, a bit, even, still, rather, no, any
  • 倍数:倍数 + as + 原级 + as / 倍数 + 比较级 + than / 倍数 + the + 名词 + of
  • 最高级:the + 最高级 + in/of 短语
  • 递进与比例:比较级 + and + 比较级(越来越……);the + 比较级, the + 比较级(越……越……)

三、典型例句

  1. He doesn’t study as hard as his brother.(他学习不如他弟弟努力。)——原级比较。
  2. This dress is twice as expensive as that.(这件连衣裙比那件贵一倍。)——倍数置于第一个 as 之前。
  3. She is as good a cook as her mother.(她和她妈妈一样是位好厨师。)——注意 as + 形容词 + a + 名词 + as 的词序。
  4. The more you read, the more you will know.(你读得越多,知道的就越多。)——the + 比较级结构。
  5. The weather is getting warmer and warmer.(天气越来越暖和了。)——比较级 + and + 比较级。
  6. Hainan is China’s second largest island.(海南是中国第二大岛。)——最高级前有名词所有格,不再用 the。
  7. He is a most amazing person.(他是一个非常了不起的人。)——a most = “非常”,不是最高级。
  8. He works hardest when doing something for his family.(他为自己家做事时最卖力。)——副词最高级前不用 the。

四、易错点

  • ✗ He is taller than any student in his class. → ✓ He is taller than any other student in his class.——不排除自身会导致逻辑错误。
  • ✗ The population of China is larger than Japan. → ✓ … larger than that of Japan.——比较对象须同类,用 that 替代。
  • ✗ She is as a good cook as her mother. → ✓ She is as good a cook as her mother.——冠词位置固定。
  • ✗ Hainan is the China’s second largest island. → ✓ Hainan is China’s second largest island.——所有格与 the 不并存。
  • ✗ This book is more better. → ✓ This book is much better.——比较级不能再与 more 连用,用 much 表程度。
  • ✗ I have less books than he. → ✓ I have fewer books than he (does).——可数用 fewer,不可数用 less。

五、高考考点

  1. 语法填空:括号给形容词或副词,需判断用原级、比较级还是最高级,并注意是否加 the。真题如 the water in the river is ____ (clean) than ever → cleaner。
  2. 单项选择:the more...the more、倍数 + as...as、no more than vs not more than 是经典考点。
  3. 短文改错:比较级重复(more better)、比较对象不同类、形容词与副词比较级混用、fewer/less 误用。
  4. 写作升级:用比较级结构表达数据与趋势,如 The number of cyclists is twice as large as it was ten years ago.

六、对比与延伸

形容词、副词、冠词、数词、so…that vs such…that、名词、主谓一致
