误区一:比较对象非同类
进行比较的两个人或事物必须属于同一类, 非同类的人或事物一般不能作比较, 否则容易造成逻辑错误。如:
你们的教室比我们的教室明亮。
误: Your classroom is brighter than us.
正: Your classroom is brighter than ours.
冬天的时候,长春比广州冷。
误: In winter the weather of Changchun is colder than Guangzhou.
正: In winter the weather of Changchun is colder than that of Guangzhou.
误区二:比较对象相包含
进行比较时,切忌一方包含另一方,从而造成自身与自身的比较。如:
这个房间是这栋楼中最大的。
误: This room is bigger than any one in the building.
正: This room is bigger than any other one in the building.
(any one包括了this room在内, 而any other one则将其排除在外了)
兄弟几个中,汤姆个子最高。
误: Tom is taller than any of the brothers.
正: Tom is taller than any of his brothers.
(the brothers中包括了Tom本身, 而his brothers则将Tom排除在外了)
误区三:认为比较级前一般不能用定冠词the
比较级前一般不用定冠词, 但在下列情况中,比较级前却需用定冠词the:
1.在比较级的句子中有of the two这类意义的词组时。如:
He is the thinner of the two boys. 他是两个男孩中比较瘦的一个。
2. 在"the+比较级, the+比较级"的固定结构中。如:
The busier he is, the happier he feels. 他越忙就越高兴。 liuxuepaper.com
