一.本课要点及示例

在这一课里, 我们要学习形容词比较级, 像是: "比较高", "比较好" 等等. (来源：英语e问e答 http://ask.englishcn.com)

现在我们先听一段对话, 内容是说亨利跟他表妹苏珊在电话里话家常. 我请两 位英文老师用正常速度念这段对话, 请你注意听英文老师的发音和语调. (来源：英语麦当劳－英语学习门户 EnglishCN.com)

M: Hello, Susan. How is everything in New York? (来源：EnglishCN英语博客基地)

F: Never better, Henry. How are you? How is the family? (来源：专业英语学习网站 http://www.EnglishCN.com)

M: Everyone's fine. But actually, I'm feeling a little tired these days.

F: You're getting older, Henry, and you are heavier than you used to be. (来源：英语问答中心 http://ask.englishcn.com)

M: Everyone gets older. But you look younger than ever. What's your secret? (来源：英语分类信息 http://fl.englishcn.com)

F: There is no secret. I get more exercise than you. And I am careful about my diet. (来源：EnglishCN英语问答中心[e问e答])

You should too. (来源：英语图片 http://photo.englishcn.com)

M: You are right. When the weather is warmer, I'll do it.

(来源：最老牌的英语学习网站 EnglishCN.com)

F: No, Henry. You should start now. (来源：英语麦当劳 http://www.EnglishCN.com)

M: Okey. I will start today. Thank you for the advice. (来源：EnglishCN英语问答中心[e问e答])

现在我们把整段对话再听一遍. 可是英文老师念得比较慢, 你注意听, 看看能懂 多少. (来源：EnglishCN英语问答中心[e问e答])

在刚才那段对话里有不少比较级用法, 现在我挑出几个例子, 请英文老师用慢 速度再念一遍给你听:

F: Never better.

(来源：英语麦当劳－英语快餐EnglishCN.com)

F: You're getting older. (来源：英语e问e答 http://ask.englishcn.com)

F: You are heavier than you used to be.

(来源：英语麦当劳www.EnglishCN.com)

M: Everyone gets older. (来源：英语美食指南 http://food.englishcn.com)

M: You look younger than ever.

(来源：英语电影下载 http://bt.englishcn.com)

M: When the weather is warmer, I'll do it. (来源：英语麦当劳－英语快餐EnglishCN.com)

二.形容词比较级

听了刚才那段对话, 也许你已经注意到在英文里形容词比较级就是在一般短的 形容词后面加上 e-r, 比方 "高" 是 tall, t-a-l-l, tall, "比较高" 就是 taller, t-a-l-l-e-r, taller. (来源：英语学习门户网站EnglishCN.com)

下面我们给你举一些例子比较亨利和苏珊两个人谁老,谁年轻,谁胖,谁瘦, 谁高, 谁矮等等. 每个句子我们念两遍, 请你听一遍, 跟着老师重复一遍.

M: Henry is older; Susan is younger.

(来源：英语图片 http://photo.englishcn.com)

F: Henry is older; Susan is younger.

M: Henry is fatter; Susan is thinner.

F: Henry is fatter; Susan is thinner. (来源：英语图片 http://photo.englishcn.com)

M: Henry is taller; Susan is shorter.

F: Henry is taller; Susan is shorter.

M: Henry is weaker; Susan is stronger. (来源：EnglishCN英语问答中心[e问e答])

F: Henry is weaker; Susan is stronger.

如果把 "亨利比较老; 苏珊比较年轻 " 这句话简化为 "亨利比苏珊老", 在英文里 就必须用 than, t-h-a-n, than 这个字; 整句话就是 Henry is older than Susan. 下面 我们来作换字练习, 多学学这个句型. 首先老师念一个句子, 然后老师给你一个 新的比较级形容词,请你把形容词代换到原来的句子里. 每作完一句, 老师会念 出正确作法, 你自己比较一下看作对了没有. 现在我们开始.

(来源：英语问答中心 http://ask.englishcn.com)

M: Henry is older than Susan.

M: fatter (来源：英语麦当劳 http://www.EnglishCN.com)

F: Henry is fatter than Susan. (来源：英语麦当劳－英语杂志 EnglishCN.com)

M: weaker

F: Henry is weaker than Susan. (来源：英语麦当劳 http://www.EnglishCN.com)

M: heavier (来源：英语论坛 http://bbs.englishcn.com)

F: Henry is heavier than Susan.

(来源：英语图片 http://photo.englishcn.com)

M: busier

(来源：英语博客 http://space.englishcn.com)

F: Henry is busier than Susan. (来源：英语资料下载 http://download.englishcn.com)

刚才那些句子都是以亨利为主词, 下面这些句子是以苏珊为主词; 还是把她和 亨利作个比较, 比方 "苏珊比亨利年轻" 等等. 还是请你跟刚才一样作代换练习.

(来源：英语聊天室 http://chat.EnglishCN.com)

M: Susan is younger than Henry. (来源：英语电影下载 http://bt.englishcn.com)

M: thinner

F: Susan is thinner than Henry.

M: shorter (来源：英语图片 http://photo.englishcn.com)

现在我们再来学习形容词比较级. 首先由老师提出一个问句, 接着他又提出一 个词组作主词, 请学生用这个主词来回答问题, 然后老师又提出一个词组作受 词, 请学生用 than 这个字把受词用进句子里. 首先我给你举一个例子.

三.不规则形容词比较级 (来源：英语麦当劳 http://www.EnglishCN.com)

除了变化规则的形容词比较级之外, 在英文里有很少数几个形容词比较级的变 化是不规则的. 比方 "好" good, g-o-o-d, good 变成 better, b-e-t-t-e-r, better; "坏" bad, b-a-d bad 变成 worse, w-o-r-s-e, worse. (来源：英语麦当劳 http://www.EnglishCN.com)

现在我们来作换字练习. 首先学学 better 的用法. 由老师念一个句子, 然后老师 给你一个新名词, 请你代换到原来的句子里. 比方老师说: This student is good, but that student is better. 接着老师给你一个名词 teacher 请你作代换练习, 正确 答案应该是 This teacher is good, but that teacher is better. 现在我们开始作练习.

每作完一句, 就请你听正确答案.

(来源：英语资料下载 http://download.englishcn.com)

M: This student is good, but that student is better. (来源：英语麦当劳－英语杂志 www.EnglishCN.com)

M: teacher (来源：英语聊天室 http://chat.EnglishCN.com)

M: report

(来源：英语麦当劳www.EnglishCN.com)

F: This report is good, but that report is better.

(来源：英语交友 http://friends.englishcn.com)

下面我们用同样的方式来练习 worse 的用法. (来源：英语问答中心 http://ask.englishcn.com)

M: This school is bad, but that school is worse. (来源：英语问答中心 http://ask.englishcn.com)

M: college (来源：英语麦当劳 http://www.EnglishCN.com)

F: This college is bad,but that college is worse.

(来源：英语麦当劳 http://www.EnglishCN.com)

M: university (来源：英语论坛 http://bbs.englishcn.com)

F: This university is bad, but that university is worse.

F: library (来源：EnglishCN英语博客基地)

F: This library is bad, but that library is worse.

另外两个变化不规则的形容词是 many, m-a-n-y, many. 跟 much, m-u-c-h, much.

(来源：英语聊天室 http://chat.EnglishCN.com)

这两个字的比较级都是 more, m-o-r-e, more.

现在我们给你举一些例子, 先比较 much 跟 more. 句子的内容还是把苏珊跟亨 利作个比较, 比方苏珊赚的钱比较少, 亨利赚得比较多等等. 每个句子老师念两 次,请你听一次, 跟着老师重复一次. (来源：英语问答中心 http://ask.englishcn.com)

M: Susan doesn't earn much money; Henry earns more. (来源：EnglishCN英语问答中心[e问e答])

F: Susan doesn't earn much money; Henry earns more. (来源：英语麦当劳－英语学习门户 EnglishCN.com)

下面几个句子是比较 many 跟 more. 请你还是跟刚才一样练习.

F: Henry doesn't read many books; Susan reads more.

M: Henry doesn't have many records; Susan has more.

F: Henry doesn't have many records; Susan has more. (来源：英语交友 http://friends.englishcn.com)

Henry is a little fatter than he wants to be. He wants to lose some weight. So he is on a diet. He tries not to eat too much and he eats very little sugar because it will make him fat. He also does exercises everyday. He swims, and he runs about two miles a day. Now he is stronger than before. Henry's cousin, Susan, is healthier than Henry. She is also younger and thinner than he is. She exercises everyday. She doesn't eat much meat. She eats a lot of fruit and vegetables, because she thinks they are better for her health.
