比较级句型表示最高级的含义

英语中用比较级句型可以表示最高级的含义，较为常见的有下列几种形式：

1、直接使用比较级

2、比较级 + than + the other + 复数名词

/ the rest of + 复数名词

/ + any of the other + 复数名词

/ + any other + 单数名词

（比较双方属于同一类别或同一范围内。即表示“同一范围内的一者比其他的更......”）。

/ + any + 单数名词

（比较双方不属于同一类别或同一范围内。即表示“不同范围内的一者比其他任何一者都更......”）。

①She goes to school earlier than the other girls.

5. 在使用这一结构时须要注意：使用这一结构来表达同一范畴中最高级含义时，切记不可出现自身比较错误。

如下面的翻译句子：

中国是所有亚洲国家中最大的一个。

如果译为：

①China is larger than all the countries in Asia. (×)

应译为：

①China is larger than any other country in Asia.
