形容词比较级的用法语法知识

形容词比较级的用法

比较级用于二者的比较，其结构是：含有形容词比较级的主句+从属连词 than 引导的从句（从句中常省去意义上和主句相同的部分）。如：

Li is older than Zhou. 李比周年纪大。(从句中省去了is old)

There are more children in this nursey than in that one.这个托儿所的孩子比那个托儿所多。(从句中省去了 there are children)

After two years' physical training，she is healthier and stronger.

经过两年的体力锻炼，她(比以前)健康强壮多了。(注意这里省去了从句than she was)

We are much better off than ever before.我们的生活比过去任何时候都要好得多。(than后省去了we were)

Paul weighs less than harry.保尔的体重比哈利轻。

Mary is less clever than Jane.玛丽不如简那么聪明。

[注一] 汉语可以说"昆明的气候比兰州好"。英语必须加that，译为：

The climate of Kunming is better than that of Lanzhou.

[注二]英语比较级常译作"较…"、"…一些"等，但不等于汉语的"更…"。汉语的"更…"须用"still"或"even"来表示如：

This book is even more difficult than that one.这本书比那本书更难。

[注三]有些情况下，汉语不用"较"等字眼，英语则须用比较级，如：

Will the younger people give their seats to old people?请年轻人把座位让给老年人好不好?
