  俗话说“条条大路通罗马”,背诵

  形容词的比较分三级:

  单音节形容词在构成比较级和最高级时,在该词原级词尾分别添加er和est:

  bright brighter brightest

  以字母e结尾的形容词分别添加r和st:

  brave braver bravest

  三个或三个以上音节的形容词在构成比较级和最高级时,在该词原级前分别加副词more和most:

  interested more interested most interested

  frightening more frightening most frightening

  双音节形容词按上述两条规则之一变化。以ful或re结尾的词通常添加more和most:

  doubtful more doubtful most doubtful

  obscure more obscure most obscure

  以er,y或ly结尾的通常加er和est:

  clever cleverer cleverest

  pretty prettier prettiest(注意y变成i)

  silly sillier silliest

  不规则的变化有:

  bad worse worst

  far farther farthest(只指距离)

  further furthest(用处较广;参见F,G)

  good better best

  little less least

  many/much more most

  old elder eldest(仅指人)

  older oldest(指人和物)

  farther/farthest和further/furthest

  这些形式都可以指距离:

  York is farther/further than Lincoln or Selby.

  约克要比林肯市或赛尔比市远。

  York is the farthest/furthest town.

  约克是(离这里)最远的城市。

  Yhrk is the farthest/furthest of the three.

  约克是三个城市中(离这里)最远的一个。

  (在最后一个句子中farthest/furthest是代名词。)further同样可以指“另外的/更多的”,主要和抽象名词一起用:

  Further supplies will soon be available.

  很快会得到更多的供应。

  Further discussion/debate would be pointless.

  继续讨论/辩论是无意义的。
