比较结构comparative Construction英语中比较结构最主要有三种as…as… 结构more…than… 结构the most…结构
1. as…as…结构基本模式as+adj/adv 原级as…否定形式 not as/so+adj/adv 原级as…
也可用less…than… E.g John is as bright as Bob.否定John is not as bright as Bob. John is less bright than Bob.
用法1.主语不同比较项目相同。This parcel is as heavy as that one.
2.主语相同比较项目不同。The girl was as brilliant as she was beautiful.这姑娘既漂亮又聪明。
3.主语和比较项目都不同。The swimming pool isnt twice as wide as that one is long.倍数as adj/adv as.另一种模式as much/many n as…否定形式not as/so much/many n as… He took as much butter as he need. He didnt take as/so much butter as he needed.2 She has written as many essays as her brother does. She hasnt written as many essays as her brother does. 变体形式as adj原级名词词组 as…
注意下列句子的语序
A. George is as efficient a worker as Jack.名词的意义受到强调or George is a worker who is as efficient as Jack. 形容词的意义受到强调
B. I doninclude of 用法’t want as expensive a car asthis.
2. more …than…结构
用法:
1.用于在两个人或物之间作同一方面的比较。The concert was more enjoyable than lecture.
2.用于同一个人或物的本身作不同方面的比较。The present crisis is much more a political than an economic crisis. 当前的危机与其说是经济危机不如说是政治危机。此用法也可用于less…than…结构但得出相反的含义。The present crisis is much less a political than an economic crisis.当前的危机与其说是政治危机不如说是经济危机。
3.theadj/adv最高级比较范围比较级形式表示最高级意义时比较对象的范围应用any other
数名词the other 复数名词the others anyone/anything else上述词是用来将比较级结构转变成最高级意义的关键词语切不可遗漏否则会造成逻辑混乱的错误。
补充说明1 not so…as not so much …as London isn’t so big as Tokyo.伦敦没有东京大。It wasnt so much his appearance I liked as his personality.与其说我喜欢他的外表不如说我喜欢他的为人。前一例相当于一般的比较结构后一例相当于less…than 的含义。
not so much as是一个专四常考结构。

the more…the more…more and more/ he more…表示两个过程中同时递增是主从结构。more and more 只表示一个过程的不断增长。
如…the wilder the range of our life and the more various the contacts we have
“of a n” 的比较级“of a n”相当于一个形容词表示具有后面那个名词的性质若该名词为可数名词名词之前要加不定冠词。它的比较级也要用more来修饰。
如He is more of a doctor. 他更像个医生。该结构也可以用于同级比较结构中。
如He is as of an athlete as she. 他和她一样具备运动员的素质。
虚拟语气
主从句谓语动词的时态掌握主从句谓语动词的规范搭配:主句从句与现在事实相反, 与过去事实相反, 与将来事实相反
1.Would you have been surprised if I had arrived yesterday without letting you know before hand 04 与过去事实相反
2.All of us would have enjoyed the party much more if there hadnt been quite such a crowd people there.00与过去事实相反
3.If your car should need any attention during the first 12 monthstake it to an authorized dealer. 98
区分主从句表示的不同时间概念主从句谓语动词所指时间不同这叫做错综时间条件句动词形式应根据实际情况来调整。
主句与现在事实相反从句与过去事实相反
Had it not been for the timely investment from the general public our company would not be so thriving as it is.
主句与现在事实相反从句与过去事实相反
Had Paul received six more votes in the last election he would be our chairman now.
识别事实和假设混合句
Your maths instructor would have been happy to give you a make-up examination had you gone and explained that your parents were ill at the time. 句子前半部分为假设情况,而“父母病了”是事实.
I would have gone to visit him in the hospital had it been at all possible but I was fully occupied the whole of last week.前半部分为假设后半部分是事实
名词性从句的虚拟形式名词性从句是指宾语从句、主语从句、表语从句和同位语从句。
