1.同级比较as (so)...as结构:
在表示“和……一样……”时,也可用as(so)... as(前面的as和so后要用原级)。肯定句(或疑问句)中都用as...as结构(a),否定句中用as...as或so...as都可以(b):
a. He could speak English as fluently as an Englishman.
他英语说得和英国人一样流利。
She loved him as much as her own child.
她爱他像爱她自己孩子一样深。
We must arrange everything as well as we can.
我们要把一切尽量安排好。
b. I can't run so (as) fast as Betty.
我跑得没有贝蒂快。
I didn't do my work as (so) well as I should.
我的工作没干得我应干的那么好。
She didn't sing as (so) well as she usually does.
她唱得没平常那样好。
这种结构中也可用一个表示程度的状语:
I don't speak English half so well as you do.
我的英文讲得不及你一半好。
“I can run ten times as fast as you.”said the hare.
野兔说,“我可以跑得比你快十倍。”
2.副词最高级的用法:
在用副词最高级时,多跟一短语说明比较的范围:
Of all his novels,I like this one best.
在他所有小说中我最喜炊这一本。
Among the three girls, she works the hardest.
三个姑娘中她最用功。
Who can throw it farthest?
谁能把它扔得最远?
Let's see who sings best.
咱们看谁唱得最好。
副词最高级前定冠词可以省略,大部分情况都不用定冠词。
