提示:

①表示消极意义的比较,不论是单音节词,还是双音节词,以及多音节词均可以用“less+原级”和“least+原级”构成。

He is less tall than I.

The matter is less important.

This is less easy.

He is the least careful of the three.

②现代英语中倾向于用“not so..as”或“more+反义的词”;最高级用“most+反义的词”来表达。

He is not so tall as I.

He is the most careless of the three.

③现代英语中,加-er和-est构成比较等级的形容词,在带有than引导的比较状语从句里作表语时常采用加more的形式。

He is more clever than Bob.

He was more fit for his office than anyone else.
