S:學生 T: 老師
S: 老師,我聽到過否定詞與比較級連用表最高級;也看到過「no +比較級+than」句型表「二者都不」;還有「not +比較級+ than」又表「前者不如後者」。
這不矛盾嗎?
T: 你說的正是否定詞與比較級連用的三種情況。
首先糾正一下第一種情況,否定詞與比較級連用,「有時」可以表最高級。
(注意:是「有時」,不可一概而論。)
總結一下,否定詞與比較級連用表最高級時,只限於此類句式:
1. 否定主語,即主語本身是一些否定詞。
比如:nobody,nothing,no +名詞 或no other +名詞作主語,後加比較級,表示「沒有什麼人或物可與之相比」。
Nothing is more important than this. 沒有什麼比這件事更重要了。
=Nothing is so important as this.
= This is the most important thing.
這件事最重要。
Nobody works harder than Tom.
= Tom works hardest.
2. 否定謂語,即藉助情態動詞的否定形式can’t/couldn’t 後加比較級,或never,not,no等否定詞。
表示「不能做到與之相比」。
I couldn’t agree with you any more.
我非常同意。
It couldn’t be worse.不能再糟糕了。
S: 明白了!終於不再糾結了。
用否定詞加比較級表最高級,比直接用最高級感覺更有說服力。
T: 對, 一種強調的說法。
T: 第二種情況:no +比較級+than
= neither...nor = as+反義詞+as
如:Henry is no taller than Mike. = Neither Henry nor Mike is tall = Henry is as short as Mike.
第三種情況:not +比較級+than
表示前者不如後者
如:Henry is not taller than Mike.
= Henry is shorter than Mike.
= Mike is taller than Henry.
= Henry is not as/so tall as Mike.
