否定词+比较级

否定词+比较级

在对学生进行听力或阅读理解训练时,笔者发现,相当一部分学生对“否定词+比较级”这一结构掌握得不是很好。他们往往把注意力集中在否定词上,结果对含有该结构的句子的理解与正确含义完全相反。联系上下文时,他们又认为前后矛盾,愈加糊涂。例如:

WHow did your interview go

MI couldn't feel better about itThe questions were very fair,and I seemed to find an answer for all of them

QWhat is the man's attitude about the interview

APessimisticBWorried

C)ConfidentDDistress

很多学生都不能选出正确答案 C

又如,在读到下面的句子时,部分学生也感到费解:

It has never been easier to insult people inadvertently Ayoung lady offers her seatin a crowded bus to an elderly frail gentlemanand he gives her a dirty look because she has insulted his manhood

其实,只要他们知道比较级用于否定结构可表“最……不过”这一语法现象,就会懂得“I couldnt feel better about it意为“我对那次面试的感觉再好不过了”Ithas never been easier to insult people inadvertently常容易无意之中冒犯别人.

要掌握该结构的用法,须注意以下几点:

1.该结构多为“cant couldn't +比较级”的形式。例如:

1I cant agree with you more.我再同意你不过了。(或:我完全同意你的意见.

2)The weather couldn't be worse.天气再糟糕不过了。

3He couldn't have done better.他做得再好不过了.

2.用于该结构中的否定词除了not之外,还有no, nevernothing等。例如:

1)This could give her no greater pleasure.这使她再高兴不过了。

2Shes never better.她现在最好不过了。(:她比以往任何时候都好。

3)Theres nothing cheaper.这东西再便宜不过了.

3.当该结构中的比较级为less,该结构意为“一点也不”。试比较:

1He couldnt care more.他非常介意。(或:他最关心不过了。

”意为“人们非


否定词+比较级



He couldn'tcare less.他毫不介意。(或:他最漠不关心了。

2He had never felt more like talking to anyone.他从未如此想和人谈话。

He had never felt less like talking to anyone.他从未如此不想和人谈话。

4.当no表示“not at all”之意时,可以作为副词放在比较级词语前面。这时,no+比较级"的意思并非“最……不过”例如:

1Are you really fifty?You look no older than thirty-five.你真的五十岁了?看起来不超过三十五岁。

2Some people can eat what they like and get no fatter.有些人想吃什么就吃什么,一点也不发胖
