托福(toefl)語法技巧:使用各比較等級的句子結構

字號:

兩個分句中都要求使用同一動詞時,我們通常用助動詞來表示第二個動詞。
    A as+原級+as用于肯定句,as/so+原級+as用于否定句:
    He worked as slowly as he dared.
    他干活敢多么磨蹭就多么磨蹭。
    He doesn’t snore as/so loudly as you do.
    他打鼾的聲音沒有你響。
    It didn’t take as/so long as I expected.
    花的時間比我預料的短。
    than與比較級連用:
    He eats more quickly than I do/than me.
    他比我吃得快。   He played better than he had ever played.
    他比過去任何時候都演奏得好。
    They arrived earlier than I expected.
    他們比我預料的到得早。
    the+比較級…the+比較級結構中也用副詞:
    The earlier you start the sooner you’ll be back.
    你出發(fā)得越早,回來得就越早。
    級可與of+名詞連用:
    He went(the)furthest of the explorers.
    在所有探險者中他走得最遠。
    但這種結構不常用。這類句子應當用比較級來表達,如上文所述。副詞的級(不加the)+of all這種結構很常用,但all常指同一主語的其他動作:
    He likes swimming best of all.
    他最喜歡游泳。(他喜歡游泳勝過其他一切運動。)
    這時of all可以省略。
