特征的比较 | 英语文法指南 | ef-九游官网下载

在对两种事物的特徵做比较时,我们会用到一套标准规则。

特徵相等时

要比较两个具有相等特徵的事物非常简单,我们会用这样的公式来表达:

as 描述特徵的形容词  as

举例
  • tom is as tall as his brother.
  • i am as hungry as you are.
  • sally is as nice as jane.
特徵不相等时

如果两个特徵不相等,可以用以下三种句型来表达,无论用哪一种,意思都是差不多的。

第一种:

 

not as  描述特徵的形容词  as

 第二种:

less  描述特徵的形容词  than:这种句型会频繁地用在某些形容词。

第三种:

形容词比较级  than:此结构需要改变词组的顺序,或用相对的形容词来表达。

举例
  • mont blanc is not as high as mount everest.
  • mont blanc is less high than mount everest.
  • mont blanc is lower than mount everest.
  • mount everest is higher than mont blanc.
  • norway is not as sunny as thailand.
  • norway is less sunny than thailand.
  • thailand is sunnier than norway.
  • norway is cloudier than thailand.
