否定詞加比較級

1、淺談“否定詞+比較級”結構2009-05-12 15:00相當一部分學生對“否定詞+比較級”這一結構掌握得不是很好。他們往往把注意力集中在否定詞上，結果對含有該結構的句子的理解與正確含義完全相反。聯(lián)系上下文時，他們又認為前后矛盾，愈加糊涂。例如：W How did your interview go ?M I couldn't feel better about it! The questions were very fair , and I seemed tofind an answer for all of them.Q What is the man's attitude

2、 about the interview?A) Pessimistic . B) Worried .C) Confident . D) Distress .很多學生都不能選出正確答案C)。又如，在讀到下面的句子時，部分學生也感到費解：It has never been easier to insult people inadvertently. A young lady offers herseatin a crowded bus to an elderly , frail gentleman , and he gives her a dirty look because she has in

3、sulted his manhood .其實，只要他們知道比較級用于否定結構可表“最不過”這一語法現(xiàn)象，就會懂得“ I couldn't feel better about it "意為"我對那次面試的感覺再好不過了"；"Ithas neverbeen easier to insult people inadverte ntly "意為"人們非常容易無意之中冒犯別人?！币莆赵摻Y構的用法，須注意以下幾點：.我再同意你不過了。（或：我完全同意你的意見。）.天氣再糟糕不過了。.他做得再好不過了。1 .該結構多為"can&

4、#39;t / couldn't+比較級"的形式。例如:1) I can't agree with you more2) The weather couldn't be worse3) He couldn't have done better.這使她再高興不過了。2 .用于該結構中的否定詞除了not之外，還有no, never , nothing等。例如:1) This could give her no greater pleasure2) She's never better ,她現(xiàn)在最好不過了。（或：她比以往任何時候都好。）3) Ther

5、e's nothing cheaper .這東西再便宜不過了。3 .當該結構中的比較級為less時，該結構意為“一點也不”。試比較：1) He couldn't care more .他非常介意。(或：他最關心不過了。)He couldn'tcare less .他毫不介意。(或：他最漠不關心了。)2) He had never felt more like talking to anyone.他從未如此想和人談話。He had never felt less like talking to anyone.他從未如此不想和人談話。4 .當no表示“not at all

6、”之意時，可以作為副詞放在比較級詞語前面。這時，“ no+比 較級”的意思并非“最不過”。例如：1) Are you really fifty ? You look no older than thirty-five.你真的五十歲了？看起來不超過三十五歲。2) Some people can eat what they like and get no fatter. 有些人想吃什么就吃什么,一點也不發(fā)胖。Although he sometimes loses his temper , his students like him for it .A. no so muchB. no so lit

7、tleC. no moreD. no less盡管他有時脾氣不好，但學生對他的喜愛沒有因此而減少。Less是little 的比較級，表示較少的，更少的，是 more-much的反義詞，前 面加no, no less表示不比。少.其作用同于little ,可作形容詞修飾名詞, 可可作副詞，修飾動詞。本題是作副詞，修飾 like.No more表示不再。，although引導讓步狀語從何，表示盡管如何，但仍 然如何。如果選C,意思不符。如果前面是一個原因狀語從句的話，因為。， 所以不再喜歡，選C 才符合意思。no less than1. 表數(shù)目或數(shù)量, 其意為不少于、多達。如:We won no

8、less than £ 500 in the competition.我們在這場競賽中贏了 多達 500 英鎊。No less than 100 people came. 來的人不少于一百。2. 意為 ( 和 ) 一樣、不亞于、至少。如:Our soldiers fought with no less daring than skill.我們的士兵打起仗來智勇雙全。Lose one s temper 發(fā)脾氣sick 與 ill 的區(qū)別？答： sick 做形容詞時有”生病的，不適的，嘔吐“之義，做及物動詞時有”猛烈攻擊“之義而 ill 除了做形容詞有”生病，不順，苦惱“之外，還做名詞“
