as her sister.
1) as…as…同级比较, 两个“as”之间
必须使用形容词或副词原级。
意为“如同……一样……”, not as / so
…as “不如……一样……”

31. Grammar Focus
形容词和副词的比较级和最高级。
大多数形容词和副词有三个等级：
原级、比较级、最高级。
一、构成

32. 1. 构成的不规则变化:
eg. good / well – better – best
bad / badly – worse – worst
many / much – more – most
little – less – least
far – farther / further – farthest/
furthest

33. 2. 构成的规则变化:
1) 单音节词和少数双音节词
一般在词尾后加-er 或-est. 如：
cold – colder – coldest
nice — nicer – nicest

34. 2) 重读闭音节词末尾只有一个辅音字母
时, 先双写这个辅音字母, 再加-er或-est。
如: big – bigger – biggest
thin – thinner – thinnest
3) 以“辅音字母+ y”结尾的双音节词，
先改y为i, 再加-er或-est。如：
easy – easier – easiest
happy – happier – happiest

35. 4) 多音节词和部分双音节词在词 前加more或most。如： – most delicious
delicious – more delicious
– most delicious
interesting – more interesting
– most interesting

36. 二、用法 1.比较级表示两者 (人或事物) 的比较。 eg. I am taller than Tom.
My dress is more beautiful than hers.

37. 3) 形容词比较级后面往往用连词than连接
另一个比较的人或事物, 但在上下文明确
的情况下, 形容词比较级可单独使用。如：
My sister is tall, but my aunt is taller.
我姐姐个子高, 但我姑姑个子更高。
