有这样一道题,是该用 shorter than 还是 more short than?
“Oh, how fat he is!” “But I think he is _________ than fat.”
A. short B. shorter C. more short D. shortest
【分析】此题容易误选B,认为 short为单音节形容词,故用-er构成比较级。其实正确答案应是C。要弄清此问题,得先从比较句型的两种不同类型说起:
(1) 异类同质比较:即指两个不同的人或事物(异类)在同一方面(同质)进行比较。如:
He is stronger than me. 他比我强壮。
Our country is more powerful than theirs. 我们的国家比他们的国家更强大。
(2) 同类异质比较:即指同一个人或事物(同类)在两个不同的方面(异质)进行比较(注意译文):
与单词:shorter 相关的例句或者名人名言
