  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,比较级是在字前面加more,最高级则是在字前面加most,举例来说,old, smart, strong, weak, high, low等等都是单音节的形容词,他们的变化如下:

  原级

  比较级

  最高级

  old older oldest

  smart smarter smartest

  strong stronger strongest

  weak weaker weakest

  high higher highest

  low lower lowest

  以上的形容词,都是单音节的,以下的例子都有关双音节的形容词:

  原级

  比较级

  最高级

  difficult more difficult most difficult

  delicious more delicious most delicious

  beautiful more beautiful most beautiful

  correct more correct most correct

  stupid more stupid most stupid

  significant more significant most significant

  有一个规则必须注意,我们不能将more和er混在一齐用,以下的例子都是错的:

  He is more older than I.

  He is more taller than his brother.

  正确的句子是:

  He is older than I.

  He is taller than his brother.

  「练习六十二」

  写出以下形容词的比较级:

  small

  slow

  intelligent

  expensive

  tall

  short

  important

  cheap

  famous

  cold

  fast

  careful

  colorful

  long

  dark

  bright

  13§2 特殊的比较级规则

  在上一节,我们说明了最基本的规则,那就是单音节形容词加er或est,双音节的形容词前面加more或most。但以下就是这些基本规则的例外。

  单音节形容词的字是e,就直接加r或st:

  原级

  比较级

  最高级

  large larger largest

  late later latest

  nice nicer nicest

  wise wiser wisest

  形容词的字尾是y,而前一个子母是一个子音,则除掉y,加上ier,或iest:

  原级

  比较级

  最高级

  lucky luckier luckiest

  happy happier happiest

  pretty prettier prettiest

  dry drier driest

  easy easier easiest

  单音节形容词的字尾是子音,前一音是一个元音,则字尾必须重复一次,再加er或est:

  原级

  比较级

  最高级

  fat fatter fattest

  hot hotter hottest

  wet wetter wettest

  big bigger biggest

  完全不规则的变化:

  英文中,有几个特殊的字,他们的比较级完全没有规则,以下是一些例子,读者必须记住:

  原级

  比较级

  最高级

  good/ well better best

  bad worse worst

  many/much more most

  「练习六十三」

  写下以下形容词的比较级:

  cute

  wide

  early

  happy

  heavy

  thin

  easy

  hot

  wise

  large

  good

  bad

  many

  13§3 比较形的用法

  大多数比较级句子里会有than,以下是一些例子:

  I am older than he.

  His English is better 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 Francisco.

  The height of Himalayas is greater than the height of Mt. Fuji.

  或者 The height of Himalayas is greater than that of Mt. Fuji.

  请注意以下的例子,句子中没有than,但仍有比较级:

  Among all the teachers who have taught me, he is the best.

  This is the best movie I have ever seen.

  This food is the worst one which I have ever eaten.

  John is the stronger one.

  Do we have a better choice?

  Mary is the more diligent one.

  He is the older of the two.

  He is one of the best movie actors.

  This area is one of the hottest areas in the world.

  He is one of the fastest swimmers of America.

  This is a book which I like most.

  「练习六十四」

  改错:

  *He is more old than I.

  *She is younger than me.

  *This university is more larger than that university.

  *He is more older than my brother.

  *His house is older than my.

  *The size of this city is larger than San Francisco.

  *She is taller than him.

  *The height of this boy is greater than his brother.

  *He is the most good student in my class.

  *He is the more bad one.

  「练习六十五」

  这支笔比你的贵得多。
