形容词、副词比较结构补充
1. A. C. It was _____ we had hoped. (2006) More a success than B. a success more than as much of a success as D. a success as much as
2. Do you know Tim’s brother? He is ______ than Tim. (2005) A. much more sportsman B. more of a sportsman C. more of sportsman D. more a sportsman 第6题既考查短语much of的用法，又考查同级 比较结构“as…as…”。[C] 第7题为短语be much/ little of a sportsman 用于 比较。其比较形式为将much/ little 变为more/ less.[B]
形容词同级比较结构为as+原级＋as,其否定形式为not as (so)+原级＋as,也 可用not + such a/an(+形容词)＋名词，它既可用于不同人/物的比较，也可 用于同一人、物不同性质的比较，as从句中的有些成分常省略，例如： Bob is as clever as Hans. Bob is not as (so) clever as Hans. Bob is as clever a student as Hans. Bob is not such a clever student as Hans. 对同一人/物的两种不同性质进行比较时，其结构为“more + 形容词原级 ＋ than＋另一形容词原级”，意思为： “与其说…不如说，不是…而是”，有 时也可连接形容词化的名词。 He is more diligent than gifted. She is more amused than angry. 她被逗乐而生气不起来了。 He is more brave than wise. 他有勇无谋。 She is more mother than wife. 她是贤妻，更是良母。 He is considered to be more kind than wise. 人们觉得他善良有余而智慧 不足。 more than 除了he is more than clever. 她何止聪明。/ 她绝顶聪明。 You are more than welcome. 非常欢迎你！ We are more than pleased to see you again. 我们非常高兴再次见到你。
杂志没有那本有趣。
Translations: 1. His performance is no less than a real peacock. 2. The experimental result was no more satisfactory than the last one. 3. There is not less/more book in our library than in theirs.
这两道题考查复合连词no less… than, no more … than, not less… than, not more… than 的用法。 第9 题要表达的意思是：约翰没比他姐姐少用功，但却没 有通过考试。因而选C. 第10题句子的意思为：如同肌 肉不能变成脂肪一样，脂肪也不能转变为肌肉。正确 答案为A。
be little/ much 等表示肯定与否定的程度
He is much of a teacher. 他是个名副其实的老师。
