誤區(qū)一:比較對(duì)象非同類
兩個(gè)人或事物進(jìn)行比較應(yīng)用比較級(jí)時(shí),常與連詞than連用,且進(jìn)行比較的兩個(gè)人或事物必須屬于同一類,非同類的人或事物一般不能比較,否則會(huì)造成不合邏輯的錯(cuò)誤。如:
1. 你們的教室比我們的教室明亮。Your classroom is brighter than ours.
2. 冬天,長(zhǎng)春的天氣比廣州的天氣冷。In winter, the weather of Changchun is colder than that of Guangzhou.
誤區(qū)二:亂用比較級(jí)修飾詞
比較級(jí)前一般可用much, a little, a lot, still, a bit, far, even等修飾詞來(lái)說(shuō)明程度,但不能用very, quite, too, so等修飾。例如:
1. I think the mooncakes with nuts in them are much more delicious than the ones with meat in them. 我認(rèn)為果仁餡月餅比肉餡月餅好吃得多。
2. Lilys mooncake is a little smaller than Li Leis. 莉莉的月餅比李磊的月餅小一點(diǎn)。
誤區(qū)三:比較級(jí)前全不用定冠詞the
比較級(jí)前一般不用冠詞,但在下列情況下比較級(jí)前卻常常用定冠詞the。
1. 在含比較級(jí)的句子中有of the two這類意義的詞組時(shí)。如:
Lucy is the taller of the two. 露西是兩個(gè)人中較高的那一個(gè)。
He is the thinner of the two boys. 他是那兩個(gè)男孩中較瘦的一個(gè)。
2. “the + 比較級(jí),the + 比較級(jí)”為一常見(jiàn)結(jié)構(gòu),表示“越……,就越……”之意。如:
The harder you study, the more you will learn. 你越努力,就學(xué)得越多。
The busier he is, the happier he feels. 他越忙就越高興。
誤區(qū)四:形容詞最高級(jí)前都用了定冠詞the
形容詞最高級(jí)前一般應(yīng)用定冠詞the,副詞最高級(jí)前則可用可不用。但當(dāng)最高級(jí)前有形容詞性物主代詞或名詞所有格修飾時(shí),其前的定冠詞the必須省略。如:
The moon is our nearest neighbor in space. 月球是太空中離我們最近的鄰居。
Jim is Mr Greens youngest son. 吉姆是格林先生最小的兒子。
誤區(qū)五:混用介詞in和of
最高級(jí)的范圍常用介詞in或of短語(yǔ)引出,但二者有區(qū)別;in后常跟表示單位、組織等的單數(shù)名詞,該名詞與前面的主語(yǔ)不屬于同類;而of后常跟表示人或事物的復(fù)數(shù)名詞,該名詞與前面的主語(yǔ)屬于同類。如:
Who is the strongest in your family? 你們家誰(shuí)最強(qiáng)壯?
Ann is the oldest of all the girls in her class. 安是她班上所有女孩中最大的。
