32、er than I do. 他游泳游得比我好。 He works less than he used to. 他工作的时间比以前少了。 Can you do any better than that? 你能不能干的好一些? 3) 比较级前可有状语修饰: You must work much faster. 你必须大大加快干活的速度。 He walked no further. 他没在往前走。 4. asas 和 not soas 结构 这两个结构也可结合副词使用: 1) asas 可用在肯定句中,表示 “像一样” ,后面的副 词要用原级: She can run as fast as a de
33、er. 她能跑的像鹿一样快。 They work as hard as you do. 他们工作像你一样努力。 2)在否定句中,asas 和 soas 都可以用: I dont go there as much as I used. 我现在到那里不象过去那 么多了。 3)这种句子中也可以有一个表示程度的状语: I dont speak half as (so) well as you. 我讲的不及你的一半 好。 Step 6:Conclusion: 比较等级: much + 比较级 “得多” a little + 比较级 “一点点” even + 比较级 “更加” 比较级 + and + 比较
