2018年成人高考高起点英语语法精讲——比较句式
比较
表示比较的方法在英语里是比较复杂的。除了形容词和副词的比较级和最高级外,还有很多特定的短语和句型表示比较。对于这类考题,考生需熟记公式,记清各公式中的形容词、副词、介词、连词等的搭配,以及其比较的含义。这里就常考的一些比较形式作一个归纳。
l)平级比较:这是指在比较的过程中不用形容词或副词的比较级或最高级进行比较,而是用特定句型的肯定或否定式进行比较。
as+形容词/副词+as(肯定式,意为:跟……一样)
not SO(as)+形容词/副词+as(否定式,意为:不如)
as+形容词+a/an+单数名词+as
as+many/few+可数名词+as
as much/little+不可数名词+as
the same+名词+as(与……一样)
This is as interesting a book as the other is.
这本书跟另一本一样有意思。
Helen cannot come to visit her mother so often as she hopes.
Helen不可能像她希望的那样经常看望母亲。
You can write as many words for your paper as you want.
你的文章想写多少字就写多少字。
She was born on the same day as I was.
她跟我在同一天出生。
2)带有than的比较:
more than...不仅仅,不只是
more A than B与其说是B,不如说是A(否定B,肯定A)
rather than宁愿……而不愿……
would rather+省略to的不定式+than+省略to的不定式宁愿……而不愿……
no+形容词比较级+than都不

他至少付了200美元。
注意:类似的词组有prefer A to B偏爱……胜过……(肯定A,否定B);A+not+比较级+than+B A不如B。
I prefer watching movie to TV program.
我喜欢看电影而不是看电视。
He is not taller than Jack.
他没有Jack高。
3)其他比较句型:
The+比较级,the+比较级越……,越……
比较级and比较级越来越……

4)倍数的表示法:
公式:A is+倍数+名词+of B A是B的……倍
A is+倍数+as十形容词+as B A是B的……倍
A is+倍数+比较级+than B A比B大……

修饰最高级:far,very,second,next,much,not quite,by no means等。
