(4)下列詞和短語不用比較級形式卻表示比較概念:
inferior,minor,senior,prior,prefer to,superior,major,junior,preferable,differ from,compared with,in comparison with,different from,rather than。如:
Their watch is superior to all the gydjdsj.org.cn other watches on the market.
4.最高級形式應注意的問題
(1)最高級比較范圍用介詞in, over, of, among。
in, (all)over用于在某一范圍內的比較醫(yī)學全在,線gydjdsj.org.cn,如:in China, all over the world; of, among 用于在同一群體內同類事物的比較,如:among the teachers, of the four dresses。
注意:among…相當于one of…,不說among all…。這一點考生應與漢語表達區(qū)別開來。如:
Of all visible lights, red light has the longest and violet the shortest wavelength.
(2)比較級形式表示最高級意義時,比較對象的范圍應用:
any other +單數(shù)名詞
the other +復數(shù)名詞
the others
anyone/anything else
上述詞是用來將比較級結構轉變成最高級意義的關鍵詞語,切不可遺漏,否則會造成邏輯混亂的錯誤。如不能說:John runs faster than anyone.注意與漢語表達的不同。
