副词和形容词一样,也有比较级和最高级形式。以下是副词比较级的几种常见句式。
- “比较级+than”句式:当A > B 时,用“比较级 + than”来表示。例如:
- China is larger than any other country in Asia. (中国比其他任何亚洲国家都要大。)
- He is older than any of the other boys in his class. (他比他班上任何同学年纪都大。)
- My room is smaller than yours. (我的房间比你的小。)
- She got there earlier than I did. (她比我到得早。)
- no more (…) than…与not more (…) than…:这两种句式都可用于比较,前者表示对两者都否定,意为“同……一样不”;而后者则指两者虽都具有某种特征,但程度不同,意为“不如”、“不及”。例如:
- He is no more than an ordinary English teacher. (他只不过是个普通的英文老师。)
- He has no more than three shirts. (他只有3件衬衫。)
- I run not faster than anyone else in my class.(我不如班里的其他人跑得快。)
- 比较级+and+比较级:表示“越来越……”。例如:
- Your English is getting better and better. (你的英语越来越好了。)
- It’s becoming more and more difficult to find a job. (找工作越来越困难了。)
