怎么理解下面这句话中的“than”呢?翻译为“比”就很不通顺啊?
关于比较级than前后一致的问题,求权威解决 啊啊 啊啊啊
对啊 ,老师说的对 。比较的东西要是同性质的。
Beijing*s weather is colder than shanghai.这句话的翻译是 北京的天气 比上海冷 。而不是 北京的天气比上海的天气冷。 正确的是 Beijing*s weather is colder than shanghai's .
你在习题中看到的是 完全写法 应该是 It*s more convenient to take a taxi to the station than to take a bus to the station. 可以看成是 To take a taxi to the station is more convenient than to take a bus to the station.但是 此处 to 和 to the station 有相同部分而且省略掉不影响语义。 所以可以省略。
关于than 比较级成分的问题。请教
1 把字写大点/ 写小点 "Please write it larger/ smaller."
2 你讲话声音大点 / 小一点 "Please speak louder/ Please lower your voice."
3 把字写的漂亮些 "Please write it prettier."
4.形容词、副词比较级要注意以下几点:
1)要避免重复使用比较级。
例句:(错)He is more taller than his brother.
(对)He is taller than his brother.
如果要强调高很多,则用much修饰比较级:He is much taller than his brother.
2) 被比较的对象中不能再包含比较者。
例句:(错)China is larger than any countriy in Asia. (任何国家,其中又包含China了)
(对)China is larger than any other countries in Asia. (用other 排除China)
3)要注意对应句型,遵循前后一致的原则
例句1:The population of Shanghai is larger than that of Beijing.
例句2:It is easier to make a plan than to carry it out.
4)要注意冠词的使用。
例句:Who is cleverer, Tom or Jack?
Who is the cleverer boy, Tom or Jack?
5) 这个是针对你的地5个问题。就是than 后面接的内容不与前面重复,只能用代词等替代。
例如:(错)He got there earlier than we got here.(错误的原因就在于英语语言的不重复习惯)
(对)He got there earlier than us. (用代词替代)他比我们早到那里。
或者:He got there earlier than we did. (than 后面用did替代前面的实意动词got)
6."The teacher dismissed the class five minutes earlier. "
“老师提前5分钟下课。”,既然存在earlier这个比较,那么就意味着你默认了在正点下课前5分钟,老师下课了。也可以理解成“打下课铃之前”。所以这句话在句意上,实际是完整的。
如果一定要在强调较某个比较对象“提前”,那么可以说:"The teacher dismissed the class 5 minutes earilier than that of yesterday." (要用that替代the class) 老师比昨天的这节课提前5分钟下课。或者:"The teacher dismissed the class 5 minutes earlier before the the bell ringed.)
老师在打铃前5分钟下课了。
7.最后,"Why didn't you tell me earlier?” 和" Why didn't you pick me up earlier", 两句话的语境都是在向对方抱怨。而且时态是一般过去时。即你在现在抱怨过去已经完成了的动作。实际上就是用过去和过去的过去做比较,为什么在过去的时间里不能再提前一些呢?
