比较结构
在英语中,比较两个(或多个)主体的结构叫作比较结构。通常译为“A比B更……”,“A和B一样……”,或“A是最……"。比较结构最主要的体现方式是将形容词或副词变成其比较级或最高级形式。比较结构在英语中十分常见,按照比较结果和参与比较的主体的数量可以分为:同级比较,比较级和最高级。其中,同级比较和比较级多为二者之间的比较,而最高级多为三者或三者以上的比较。形容词或副词的比较级和最高级,均由形容词或副词的原级变化而来,一般在原级后面加上er变为其比较级,加上est变为其最高级,当然也有一些不规则的变化,例如:形容词good的比较级是 better,最高级是best,副词far的比较级是 further/ farther,最高级是 furthest/farthest"。

4、注意事项
1. 由than和as引导的比较状语从句中,如果从句的名词主语较长,需将从句中的助动词、系动词、情态动词前置到较长的名词主语之前,采取倒装形式,避免头重脚轻,但主语若为代词,则无需倒装。例如:
Hydrogen burns much more cleanly than do other fuels and is easy to produce.
氢燃烧时比其他燃料更清洁,且易于生产。
Reading is to the mind as is exercise to the body.
阅读之于心灵,犹如运动之于身体。
2. 如果as引导的比较状语从句前的主句是否定句,通常在意义的理解上要进行否定转移。例如:
He didn't attend the meeting as he used to.
他没有像过去那样来参加会议。
