六、形容詞、副詞:
1、形容詞:用來說明或修飾名詞、代詞的詞稱為形容詞。
1、形容詞的句法作用:作句子中名詞的定語、句子的表語以及賓語補足語。
2、形容詞在句子中的位置:
⑴作定語時放在名詞的前面,且音節少的詞放在音節多的詞之前。如:abig yellow wooden wheel(一個黃色的大木輪)
⑵作表語時放在連繫動詞之後。如:The price sounds reasonable.(這個價格聽起來算是合理)
⑶作賓語補足語時放在賓語之後。如:We must try our best to keep our environmentclean.(我們必須盡力保持我們的環境清潔)
⑷後置的情況:
①修飾複合不定代詞時放在代詞之後。如:Something serioushas happened to him.(他發生了嚴重的事故)
②與表示「長、寬、高、重、老、遠離」的詞連用時形容詞後置。如:He’s 1.8 metres tall.(他身高1.8米。)The moon is about 380,000 kilometres awayfrom the earth.(月球離地38萬公裡)
3、有關形容詞的用法辨析:
⑴ whole與all:記住兩個詞序:① the whole + 名詞; ②all (of) the+ 名詞。如:He was busy the wholemorning.(整個早晨他都很忙) / He can remember all the words he learns.(他能記住學過的所有單詞)
⑵ tall與high, short與low:指人的個子時用tall與short;指其他事物時一般用high與low。如:He’s very tall/short.(他個子高/矮)/ Tall trees are standing on both sides of that avenue.(大道的兩側有高大的樹木) / A few people live on high mountains.(少量的人住在高山上)
⑶real與true:real一般指東西的真假,譯為「真的」;而true則指事情或消息的可靠性,譯為「真實的」。如:This is a real diamond(鑽石) and it’s very expensive.(這是貨真價實的鑽石,非常貴) / --Is that true?—Yes. I heard it with my own ears.(那真實嗎? 是的,我親耳所聽)
⑷ interested與interesting的區別:interesting指人或東西「有趣的」,作定語或表語,而interested則表示人對別的事物「感興趣的」,只能作表語。如:The man is very interestingand all the children like him. (這個人很有趣,孩子們都喜歡他)/ This book is interesting and you can really enjoy yourself.(這本書很有趣,你會真正獲得享受) / I am interested in science.(我對自然科學感興趣)
⑸ such用法: such + a(n) + 名詞(單數)(+that從句)。如:I have never seen such a foolish(愚蠢的)boy.(我從來沒有見過這麼蠢的男孩) / He had such a terrible accidentthat he could never forget it.(他遭遇了這麼可怕的事故,他永遠也不會忘記)
⑹ good與well:表示「好」時,作定語或表語用good,作狀語用well;表示「(身體)好」時用well.如:Doing sports is goodfor us.(進行運動對我們有益) / Study well and make progress every day.(好好學習,天天向上) / --How are you?—I am very well.(你好嗎?我很好。)
⑺ nice與fine:的區別:nice表示令人愉快的,可以指東西、人物外表等;fine一般指身體或天氣好。如:Let’s go and share(分享)the nice cake.(我們去分享那塊美味的蛋糕吧) / She is a nice girl.(他是個漂亮的姑娘) / What a fine day!(多好的天氣!) /He’s fine recently(最近).(近來他身體不錯)
⑻ too much與much too:too much表示「太多的」,修飾事物數量;much too表示「太過,過分」,修飾形容詞或副詞。如:I am full because I have had too muchrice.(我飽了,因為我吃了太多的米飯) / That coat is much too dear.(那件大衣太貴了)

⑽lonely與alone:lonely是表示心理活動的形容詞,意思是:「孤獨的,寂寞的」,作定語或表語;alone的意思是:「獨自的,單獨的」,指無人陪伴,僅作表語,(作為副詞的alone可作狀語)。如:He lives alonebut he doesn’t feel lonely.(他一人獨住,但是並不感到孤獨)/ He is a lonely person.You can not easily get on well with him.(他是個孤獨的人,你要和他相處好實在不易)
⑾ other與else的區別:兩個詞都可以作形容詞,但是用法不同,other放在名詞前;else修飾不定代詞、疑問詞、little、much,後置,另外,or else表示「否則」,是連詞。如:The otherstudentsare on the playground.(其他學生在操場上) / Whoelse can work out this maths problem?(還有誰能解出著道數學題?) / This is nobodyelse’s money. It’s mine.(這不是別的什麼人的錢,是我的。) / Do you have anythingelse to say for yourself?(你還有什麼要為自己說的嗎?

⒀gone、lost、missing的區別:gone表示「丟了,沒了」,含一去不復返的意思,也可以表示「死了」,作表語或賓補,不可以作定語;lost表示「丟失」,含難以找回的意思,可作定語、表語或賓補;missing表示「失蹤了,不見了」,強調某人物不在原處,可作定語、表語或賓補。如:My fever(高燒) is gone, but I still have a cough.(發燒消退了,但我仍然咳嗽)/ The parents found the lost child at last.(家長終於找到了迷路的孩子) / My dictionary is missing.Who’s taken it away?(我的字典不見了,誰拿走了?) / For more detailed information(詳情) of the missing girls, please visit our website(網址).(如果想知道失蹤女孩們的詳情,請訪問我們的網站)
⒁ living、alive、live、lively的區別:四個詞都來源於動詞live「生活、居住」。
living讀[『liviN]有三個意思:①「活著的、現存的」,作表語或定語,②「一模一樣的、逼真的」,③相當於lively,意思是「強烈的、活潑的」;
live讀[laiv],指東西「活的」,可以替換為living;
alive讀[[『laiv]作表語,指人「活著的」,如果作定語,則放在名詞的後面;
lively讀[『laivli]有三個意思:①有生氣的、活潑的、快活的,②(色彩)鮮豔的,③生動的、真實的。

⒃ the poor(窮人們) / the rich(富人們)等用法:「the+形容詞」這一結構可以表示一類人物,複數含義。如:We must try our best to help the poor.(我們應該盡力幫助窮人們)/ The rich never know how the poor are living.(有錢人哪知窮人怎麼過日子)

⑵ later、after、ago、before的用法:①「一段時間+later/ago」分別表示「(多久)以後/以前」,主要用於過去時態。②「after/before+某個時刻」分別表示「在某時刻之後/之前」,此時兩個詞是介詞。③ago與before:ago只能用於過去時,before用於完成時。如:He had an accident a week ago.(一周前出了一個事故)/ Some years later, the boy became a very famous singer.(數年後這個男孩成了著名的歌唱家)/ Have you been therebefore?(你從前到過那兒嗎?)/ After a few years he gave up smoking.(過了幾年他戒了煙。)

⑽like...very much、like...better(=prefer)、like...best的用法:三個短語分別表示「非常喜歡」、「更喜歡」、「最喜歡」。如:I like baseball very much.(我非常喜歡棒球)/ Do you like butter better than cheese?( / They like hamburgers best.
⑾「quite/what+a+形容詞+名詞」的用法:記住:①quite/such/what...+a+形容詞+名詞;②too/so/how+形容詞+a+名詞;③rather+a+形容詞+名詞 = a+ rather+形容詞+名詞。如:I have never seen sucha strange guy(傢伙).(我從未見過這樣奇怪的傢伙) / It is quite a nice day for a walk.(這真是散步的好日子)
⑿ how的幾個短語:how often「多常,每隔多久」,用於一般時態,對表示頻度的詞語進行提問; how soon「多久以後」,用於將來時態; how long「多久」,用於過去時、完成時或其他時態; how many times「多少次」,用於過去時或完成時,對總計次數進行提問; how much「多麼,多少」,對程度進行提問,也可以對數量(不可數)或金錢進行提問。如:How long have you been like this?(你這樣已經多久了?)/ How often does he wash his face?(他每隔多久洗一次臉?)
⒀ much、more與most的用法:這三個詞除了是形容詞作名詞的修飾語之外,還是程度副詞,much表示「很」,修飾原級形/副,more表示「更」用來構成多音節形/副的比較級,most表示「最」用來構成多音節形/副的最高級。此外,much也可以修飾比較級形/副。如:This park is muchmorebeautiful than that one.(這個公園比那個漂亮多了)/ It is the most instructive film I have ever seen.(這是我看過的最有教育意義的電影)
⒁ no more、no longer、not...any more、no...any longer的用法:表示時間,可以用no longer、not...ny more、no...any longer,而且no longer只能放在謂語動詞之前;表示程度,可以用no more、not...any more.如:He no longerlived there.(他不再住在那裡) / Tom wanted no more cakes.(他不想再要蛋糕) / He didn』 t smoke any more/longer.(他不再抽菸)
⒂ 被動語態中,方式副詞一般放在be與謂語動詞之間。如: The runner was badlyhurt.(賽跑運動員受了重傷) / English is widely spoken in the world today.(如今世界上英語說得很廣泛)
⒃ too...to...與so...that...的問題:副詞too/so後面跟形容詞或副詞,to後面跟動詞,that後面跟從句。Too...to...(「太.……以致不……」)是否定的結構,用於簡單句;so...that...(「如此…以致…」)是肯定結構,用於複合句。如:The child is too young to join the army.(這孩子年齡太小還不能參軍)/ He is so strong that he can lift the heavy box.(他這麼強壯,搬得動那個重箱子。)
⒄ 既是形容詞也是副詞的單詞有:early, late, long, last, next, first, near, enough, much, all, hard, alone, fast, slow, high, low, straight等等。如:It was a longholiday.(那是個長假)/ He stayed there very long.(他在那兒呆了好久)/ Think hard then you will find a way.(好好想你就會找到辦法)/ He is a very hard(難對付的) person.(他是個難玩的傢伙)
⒅ farther與further的用法區別:表示地點、方向或距離時兩個詞同義,意思為「更遠、較遠」,但是further還表示「更多、進一步、額外」等意思,此時不能換為farther. 如:They decided to go farther/further the next day.(他們決定第二天走得再遠些)/ This problem will be furtherdiscussed.(這個問題還要進一步討論)/ Every one of them had their further studies after they left college.(他們每個人大學畢業後繼續進修)
⒆ rather與quite的用法區別:同very一樣,兩個詞都表示形容詞或副詞的程度,quite表示「不到最高程度但是比預料的好」,rather比quite更接近very的含義,含有令人驚訝的意思。見下圖對「nice」程度的描繪:
not nice (fairly) nice quite nice rather nice very nice
如:It’s quite a nice film.(這是部好片子)。(可能意味著不是一部最好的電影) / It’srather a nice film.(這是部很不錯的電影。)(意味著比大多數電影都好)
[注意]注意quite與rather後面的次序詞序。
⒇ maybe、possibly、perhaps的區別:maybe「可能、也許」,比另外兩個詞更不正式、更隨便、可能性不大;possibly「可能地、或者、也許」,可能性較大,在否定句和疑問句中表示「無論如何」;perhaps「可能」,較為常用而且正式,可能性也不大。如:You could put it over there,maybe.(也許你可以把它放在那邊)/ I couldn’t possibly have finished such a long book in such a short time.(我不可能在這麼短的時間內完成這麼長的一本書)/ I thought perhaps it was the letter you have been expecting.(我以為那也許就是你期盼的信件)
(21) most、mostly的區別:most作為形容詞和名詞時意思是「大多數的、大部分的」,作為副詞時意思為「最,十分、很」;mostly僅為副詞,意思為「主要地、多半地、大部分地」。如:I was at home most of the time when I was free.(我有空時大部分時間都在家)Mostchildren are naughty.(大部分的孩子都淘氣)/ This is the most exciting part of the film.(這是電影中最令人興奮的部分)/She is mostlyout on Sundays.(星期天她一般不在家)
(22)(be) worth、(be) worthy of的區別:worth一般被看作是介詞,後面接名詞或者動名詞,用主動表示被動含義,還可以用副詞well修飾;worthy of表示「值得的、配得上的」,後面跟動名詞的被動形式。如:What is worth doing at all is worth doing well(凡是值得做的,就值得好好去做). /The house is worth¥300,000.(房子價值30萬元)/ This book is well worth reading several times.(這本書值得好好讀幾遍)/ It is a thing worthy of being seen.(這是一個值得看的東西)
(23)almost、nearly的區別:兩個詞意思相近,都表示「幾乎、將近」,大多數情況下可以互換,與否定詞連用時用almost不用nearly. almost no相當於hardly any(幾乎沒有)。如:He had done almost nothing today.(他今天幾乎沒有幹什麼)/ We are almost/nearly there.(我們幾乎就到那裡了)/ Almost nobody/Hardly anybody understood his words.(幾乎沒有人懂他的話)
(24) a bit與a little的區別:這兩個名詞短語經常當作副詞使用,修飾形容詞或副詞的原級或比較級,可以互換,語氣比rather弱。如:This digital camera is a bit(a little)expensive.(這臺數位相機有點貴)/ It is a little(a bit) colder than yesterday.(今天比昨天冷了點)
另外,a little可以直接加不可數名詞,a bit 則採用「a bit + of +名詞(不可數或可數名詞複數)」的形式。如:I have got a bit of a cold.(我有點感冒)/ Go and get a little water for me, please.(請你去給我搞點水來)
[注意]not a bit(=not at all)意為「根本不」,而 not a little則意為「非常,不是一點」。
3、形容詞、 副詞的原級、比較級和最高級
1、分類:形容詞和副詞有原級、比較級和最高級三級。
原級變為比較級和最高級有規則變化和不規則變化兩種。
2、規則變化:
(1)單音節和部分雙音節形容詞和副詞,在原級的後面加上er,est構成比較級和最高級。
a)直接加er,est :
b)以重讀閉音節結尾的,要雙寫最後一個輔音字母,後加er,est:
c)以輔音字母+y結尾的,先把y改為i再加上er,est:
(2)兩個音節或兩個以上的音節的,在原級前加more/ most.
3、不規則變化:
4、形容詞和副詞的原級、比較級和最高級的用法:
(1)講述某人/物自身的情況時,用原級。基本句型是:
主語(sb./sth)+ 謂語動詞+ (very/too/so/quite/rather…) + 形容詞/副詞原級+….
如:He is very oldnow.(他現在很老了) / They ran quite fast.(它們跑得相當快) / The weather looks rather bad.(天氣看上去相當糟) / I am so happy!(我是如此的快樂)
☆表示兩者之間沒有差別時,使用句型:

(2) 講述兩者有差異,第一個人物超過第二個人物時,用比較級。基本句型:
主語(『A』)+謂語動詞+(much/a little/even/still)+形容詞/副詞比較級+than+第二個人物(『B』)+….
如:A modern train is much faster than a car.(現代的火車比轎車快多了) / This book didn’t cost me more than that one.(這本書花費我的錢不比那本多)
講述兩者有差異,第一個人物不及第二個人物時,用比較級。句型是:

如:I think English is less difficult than maths.(我認為英語不比數學難)/ Do you think it less important to learn a foreign language?(你認為學外語不那麼重要嗎?)
(3)講述某人/物是一群之中最突出的一個時,用最高級。句型是:

如:The Changjiang River is the longest in China.(長江是中國最長的河流) / He jumped (the) highest of the three (boys).(三個男生中他跳得最高)
4、關於比較等級的重要注釋:
1、以上六個句型中,如果動詞是及物或不及物動詞,則後面用副詞;如果後面是連繫動詞,則後面用形容詞。如:This car is the fastest of the four.(形容詞)(這輛汽車是四輛之中最快的)/ This car runs (the) fastest of the four.(副詞)(這輛汽車是四輛之中跑得最快的)
2、「比較級+and+比較級」表示「越來越……」。如:The weather is getting warmer and warmer.(天越來越溫暖了)

4、一般的形容詞或副詞的比較級前面可以加much/a little/even/still,而表示數量的more之前還可以加some/ any/ no/ one/ two/ many/ several/ a lot等詞。如:It is much coldertoday than yesterday.(今天比昨天冷多了)/ Would you like some more coffee?(你還要些咖啡嗎?)/He did not eat any more.(他沒有再吃)
5、more than / less than分別可以理解為「多於/少於」,相當於副詞,more than=over; less than=under.如:I lived in New York formore than four months.(我在紐約生活了四個多月)
6、「one of the+最高級+名詞(複數)」整個短語為單數含義,謂語要用單數形式。如:One of the oldest houseshas been burnt in a fire.(最古老的一幢房子在一場大火中被燒毀了)
7、「Which / Who+動詞+形/副,□,□or□?」句型中,如果有兩個選項,形/副用比較級,如果有三個選項,形/副用最高級。如:Who has morebooks, Lin Tao or Han Mei?(林濤和韓梅誰的書最多?)/ Which is the heaviest,a pig,a horse or an elephant?(豬、馬、象哪個最重?)
8、上下文中含有both/either/neither/two/twins等表示兩個事物的詞時,用比較級,而且往往還要加the;含有all/none/no one/ every等表示三個或三個以上事物時,用最高級。如: --Do you like the smaller one?—Neither.(小一點的那個你喜歡嗎?一個都不喜歡)/ --Which do you like best? –All of them!(你最喜歡哪個?全部。)
