3)far 有两种比较级,farther,further。一般father 表示距离,further表示进一步。例如:
I have nothing further to say. 我没什么要说了。
13. the + 最高级 + 比较范围
1)形容词最高级前通常必须用定冠词 the,副词最高级前可不用。例如:
The Sahara is the biggest desert in the world. 撒哈拉沙漠是世界上最大的沙漠。
形容词most前面没有the,不表示最高级的含义,只表示"非常"。例如:
It is a most important problem. =It is a very important problem. 这是个很重要的问题。
注意:使用最高级要注意将主语包括在比较范围内。
(错)Tom is the tallest of his three brothers.
(对)Tom is the tallest of the three brothers.
2) 下列词可修饰最高级,by far, far, much, mostly, almost。例如:
This hat is nearly / almost the biggest. 这帽子差不多是最大的了。
注意:
a. very可修饰最高级,但位置与much不同。
This is the very best.
This is much the best.
b. 序数词通常只修饰最高级。例如:
Africa is the second largest continent.非洲是第二大洲。
3) 最高级的意义有时可以用比较级表示出来。例如:
Mike is the most intelligent in his class. 马克是班上最聪明的。
Mike is more intelligent than any other students in his class.
4) "否定词语+比较级","否定词语+ so… as"结构也可以表示最高级含义。例如:
Nothing is so easy as this. 没比这更简单的了。
=Nothing is easier than this.
=This is the easiest thing.
14. 和more有关的词组,
1)the more…the more… 越……就越……。例如:

2)more B than A=less A than B 与其说A不如说B。例如:
He is more lazy than slow at his work. = He is less slow than lazy at his work.
他工作时,与其说是反应慢不如说是懒。
3)no more… than… 与……一样……,不比……多。例如:
The officials could see no more than the Emperor.
