第十课 形容词比较级与 as...as
一.本课要点及示例
在这一课里,我们还是学习形容词比较级. 我们还要学习一个新的句型, as, a-s, as 加上形容词再加上 as,像是 as useful as "跟什么什么一样有用", as practical as "跟什么什么一样实用" 等等.
现在我们先来听今天这一课的对话, 请你注意听英文老师的发音和语调.
M: Hello, Mary! How was your exam yesterday?
F: Not too good. It wasn't as easy as the last one, and it was longer than before.
M: Well, the final exam is always more difficult. You have to work harder. You will certainly do better next time.
F: I worked very hard, but I was too careless. I made some stupid mistakes. I should be more careful next time.
M: Maybe you took too many courses this year.
F: No, I took as many courses as last year.
M: Well, it's no use worrying about the exam now. Let's talk about the football game tonight.
It's much more interesting.
现在我们再把整段对话听一遍. 这次英文老师念得比较慢,请你注意听, 看看能 听懂多少?
M: Hello, Mary! How was your exam yesterday?
F: Not too good. It wasn't as easy as the last one, and it was longer than before.
M: Well, the final exam is always more difficult. You have to work harder. You will certainly do better next time.
F: I worked very hard, but I was too careless. I made some stupid mistakes. I should be more careful next time.
M: Maybe you took too many courses this year.
F: No, I took as many courses as last year.
M: Well, it's no use worrying about the exam now. Let's talk about the football game tonight.
It's much more interesting.
现在我把刚才那段对话里包含了今天要学的语法的句子挑出来, 请老师再念一 遍给你听.
F: It wasn't as easy as the last one, and it was longer than before.
M: The final exam is always more difficult.
F: I should be more careful next time.
F: I took as many courses as last year.
M: It's much more interesting.
二.形容词比较级
现在我们来作练习. 上一课里我们学的形容词比较级, 是在短的形容词后面加 上 e-r, 现在我们来学另外一种形容词比较级, 就是在比较长的形容词前面加上 more, m-o-r-e , more, 比方 "比较聪明" more intelligent, "比较有天份", more talented, "比较有耐心", more patient, "比较有雄心" more ambitious 等等.
现在我们用刚才举出的那些形容词比较级作句子, 把彼得和玛丽作个比较. 每 个句子我们念两遍, 请你听一遍, 跟着老师重复一遍.
M: Peter is more careful than Mary.
F: Peter is more careful than Mary.
M: Mary is more careless than Peter.
F: Mary is more careless than Peter.
M: Peter is more intelligent than Mary.
F: Peter is more intelligent than Mary.
M: Mary is more talented than Peter.
F: Mary is more talented than Peter.
M: Peter is more patient than Mary.
F: Peter is more patient than Mary.
M: Mary is more ambitious than Peter.
F: Mary is more ambitious than Peter.
现在我们来作代换练习. 首先由老师念一个句子, 接着老师给你一个形容词, 请 你把这个形容词的比较级代换到原来的句子里. 请你注意: 老师给你的形容词 在变成比较级的时候有的应该加上 e-r; 有的应该加上 more, 你必须要斟酌情况 加以变化. 每作完一句, 老师会念出正确答案, 你自己比较一下, 看看作对了没 有. 现在我们开始.
M: Mary is younger than Peter.
M: talented
F: Mary is more talented than Peter.
M: ambitious
F: Mary is more ambitious than Peter.
M: short
F: Mary is shorter than Peter.
M: thin
F: Mary is thinner than Peter.
M: careless
F: Mary is more careless than Peter.
