[注1] 使用比较级要注意两点：

1) 不要使用双重比较级， 如：(误) His younger brother was more stronger than he.

(正) His younger brother was much stronger than he. His younger brother was stronger than he.

2) 不要使用无比较对象的孤立的比较级。如：(误) We saw many smaller houses on both sides of the river.

(正) We saw many small houses on both sides of the river.

(正) We saw many houses smaller than usual on both sides of the river.

[注2] 比较级前可加一些增强语气的词，如：much, even, still, a little (bit), slightly, far , any, no, a lot 等。

My room is a little (bit) smaller than hers. Eighteen is much less than eighty.

[注3] 如果表示"因…而更…" 可用句型 the+比较级+for (或because, as等词)，

如： I like him all the better for his faults. I do not like him the less because he has faults.

He is none the happier for his wealth. A good tale is none the worse for being twice told.

8. The situation of the enemy cannot compare with ours.

[附注] 关于等差句有以下几点需要注意：

1) 句型16 "not to speak of" 等词组也可用以表示差比, 如: Even a worm, when trodden on, will turn, not to speak of a man outraged.

2) former, latter, elder等形容词, 词尾虽然是比较级形式, 但它们永远不用于比较句中, 也不能跟than, 如： He will come here in the latter part of year.

3) 等差既可以指出相差的数目, (用by+数词表示) 也可以指出相差的范围, 如: of +名词, with regard to, in point of, with respect to, with reference to, with relation to, in the sphere of, in the field of等等。例句: She is the more patient of the two. In point of commerce, Shanghai is more prosperous than Nanjing. With reference to territory, China is larger than America.

4) 有些语句的词序变动较大阅读和翻译时要弄清其结构。如：Easier said than done. (=It is easier to be said than to be done.) In science, more than in any other human institution, it is necessary to search out the past in order to understand the present and to control the future. (= It is more necessary in science than in any other human institution to search out…)

有时一个词的原级和比较级在一同结构的句中会产生不同的意义，如：If he was ten years old, he would understand it. ≠ If he was ten years older, he would understand it.

5) 要注意避免不合理的比较。如：(误)The face of his father looks older than his uncle.

(正) The face of his father looks older than that of his uncle. His father's face looks older than his uncle's.

[注2] 两个概念的表示法：1) 若干个最大中的一个可用 "one of+最高级" 表示, 如: "What about horse-racing?" - "I should say that that is one of the most popular sports in Great Britain."

2) "第2, 3, 4…大" 可用 "the 序数词+最高级" 表示, 如： My home town is the second largest city in our province.

[注3] most前，如果没有the,则不是表示比较，而表示 "很", "非常", 如: The present world situation is most favorable for the people. The meeting proceeded in a most friendly atmosphere.

1) 用that引出的从句表示范围: That is the most important discovery (that) ever made by man.

2) 用in 引出的短语表示范围: This is the busiest street in the city.

3) 用of 引出的短语表示范围: Of all the writers of the time Lu Shun enjoyed the greatest popularity among the people.

5. The more I think of it, the happier I am.

[注1] 当比较级作表语而又不处于句首时, 可以不用the 相关联。 如：When we encounter more difficulties, we should be more spirited; when we are more at danger, we should be more courageous.

[注2] 注意本句型可省略的成分较多, 常见于谚语、俗语中 如： The sooner, the better.

= the sooner you do it the better it will be. = By how much sooner you do it, by so much better it will be.

= In whatever degree sooner you do it, in that degree better it will be. The more, the merrier. The more, the better.

[注3] 还有一些带比较级的词组，也含有比例发展的意味;但这些词组多用于表示同一事物的发展程度，一般不带被比对象。1) "…ever+比较级+ (and+比较级)…" 如：The story gets ever more exciting.

Our country is growing ever richer and stronger.

2) "…+比较级+and+比较级…" 如：…his poor cheek has turned ever thinner and paler.
