摘要:  第十三章 形容词的比较级   如果我们要翻译“他比较老”,我们不能说   * He is more old.   而一定要说   He is older.   为什么呢?这是因为英文里面的形容词有所谓的比较级规则。在下一节,我们讲一些最基本的规则。   13§1 最基本的规则   首先,我们要说明英文形容词有三个等级:原级、比较级和最高级,最基本的规则是根据音节的多少来分的。一般来说,单音节的形容词在字后面加er,就变成了比较级,加est就变成了最高级,而双音节,或双音节以上的形容词,比较级是

than mine.

  San Francisco is more beautiful than New York.

  His car is cheaper than your car.

  He is the most diligent student in his class.

  I like apples more than oranges.

  He has more money than his brother.

  He is stronger than his brother.

  必须注意的是以下的句子是错的:

  I am older than him.

  She is smarter than me.

  为什么错了呢?因为原来句子应该是:

  I am older than he (is)。

  She is more smart than I (am)。

  习惯上的is和am都省略掉的,由以上的解释可以看出,than后面的句词应该是主词,而非受词。

  以下的错误,也请特别注意:

  My head is larger than your.

  正确的句子是:

  My head is larger than your head.

  或者 My head is larger than yours.

  请看以下几个错误的句子:

  My house is larger than your.

  The temperature of this city is higher than San Francisco.

  The height of Himalayas is greater than Mt. Fuji.

  My bicycle is older than his.

  正确的句子应该是:

  My house is larger than your house.

  或者 My house is larger than yours.

  The temperature of this city is higher than the temperature of San Francisco.

  或者 The Temperature of this city is higher than that of San Franc
