湖北2012年成考高起點(diǎn)英語語法知識(shí)點(diǎn)歸納：比較級(jí)

在英語語法中，表示倍數(shù)關(guān)系很常見，有這樣幾種形：twice (兩倍)，four times (四倍)，ten times (十倍)
加上as … as 結(jié)構(gòu)
　　This one is four times as big as that one. 這個(gè)是那個(gè)的四倍大。(
這個(gè)比那個(gè)大三倍。) Our campus is three times as large as yours. 我們的校園比你們的大兩倍。

　　He has books twice as many as she does. 他的書比她多一倍。

　　“the same +名詞+as”表示同等比較

　　比較級(jí)前可用a little, a bit, slightly, a great deal, a lot,many, much等詞語表示不定量，far, completely,still表示程度或更進(jìn)一步

　　另外還有一些與比較級(jí)有關(guān)的特殊詞用法

　
　1. no more than …表示“只不過”，“并不比…”(等于not any more than)

　　人沒有食物不能生存，植物沒有陽光也不能生長。

　8. less than 不到

　　13.
rather than 而不是，與其…寧愿(rather than表示“與其…寧愿”時(shí)，如果位于句首引導(dǎo)句子，有虛擬的成分，相當(dāng)于“… would rathe than，”所以rather than后面跟動(dòng)詞原形)

　　Read what interests you; read what you have time for magazines and newspapers rather than novels.

　　讀你感興趣的東西，讀你有時(shí)間讀的東西，如雜志和報(bào)紙而不是小說。
