1) 不要使用雙重比較級， 如：(誤) His younger brother was more stronger than he.

2) 不要使用無比較對象的孤立的比較級。如：(誤) We saw many smaller houses on both sides of the river.

(正) We saw many small houses on both sides of the river.

(正) We saw many houses smaller than usual on both sides of the river.

[注2] 比較級前可加一些增強語氣的詞，如：much, even, still, a little (bit), slightly, far , any, no, a lot 等。

My room is a little (bit) smaller than hers. Eighteen is much less than eighty.

[注3] 如果表示"因…而更…" 可用句型 the+比較級+for (或because, as等詞)，

如： I like him all the better for his faults. I do not like him the less because he has faults.

He is none the happier for his wealth. A good tale is none the worse for being twice told.

[附注] 關于等差句有以下幾點需要注意：

1) 句型16 "not to speak of" 等詞組也可用以表示差比, 如: Even a worm, when trodden on, will turn, not to speak of a man outraged.

2) former, latter, elder等形容詞, 詞尾雖然是比較級形式, 但它們永遠不用于比較句中, 也不能跟than, 如： He will come here in the latter part of year.

3) 等差既可以指出相差的數目, (用by+數詞表示) 也可以指出相差的范圍, 如: of +名詞, with regard to, in point of, with respect to, with reference to, with relation to, in the sphere of, in the field of等等。例句: She is the more patient of the two. In point of commerce, Shanghai is more prosperous than Nanjing. With reference to territory, China is larger than America.

4) 有些語句的詞序變動較大閱讀和翻譯時要弄清其結構。如：Easier said than done. (=It is easier to be said than to be done.) In science, more than in any other human institution, it is necessary to search out the past in order to understand the present and to control the future. (= It is more necessary in science than in any other human institution to search out…)

有時一個詞的原級和比較級在一同結構的句中會產生不同的意義，如：If he was ten years old, he would understand it. ≠ If he was ten years older, he would understand it.

5) 要注意避免不合理的比較。如：(誤)The face of his father looks older than his uncle.

(正) The face of his father looks older than that of his uncle. His father's face looks older than his uncle's.

[注1] "best of all" 表示肯定的最; "least of all" 表示否定的最， 如： I like swimming best of all.

[注2] 兩個概念的表示法：1) 若干個最大中的一個可用 "one of+最高級" 表示, 如: "What about horse-racing?" - "I should say that that is one of the most popular sports in Great Britain."

2) "第2, 3, 4…大" 可用 "the 序數詞+最高級" 表示, 如： My home town is the second largest city in our province.

[注3] most前，如果沒有the,則不是表示比較，而表示 "很", "非常", 如: The present world situation is most favorable for the people. The meeting proceeded in a most friendly atmosphere.

1) 用that引出的從句表示范圍: That is the most important discovery (that) ever made by man.

2) 用in 引出的短語表示范圍: This is the busiest street in the city.

3) 用of 引出的短語表示范圍: Of all the writers of the time Lu Shun enjoyed the greatest popularity among the people.

5. The more I think of it, the happier I am.

[注1] 當比較級作表語而又不處于句首時, 可以不用the 相關聯。 如：When we encounter more difficulties, we should be more spirited; when we are more at danger, we should be more courageous.

[注2] 注意本句型可省略的成分較多, 常見于諺語、俗語中 如： The sooner, the better.

= the sooner you do it the better it will be. = By how much sooner you do it, by so much better it will be.

= In whatever degree sooner you do it, in that degree better it will be. The more, the merrier. The more, the better.

[注3] 還有一些帶比較級的詞組，也含有比例發展的意味;但這些詞組多用于表示同一事物的發展程度，一般不帶被比對象。1) "…ever+比較級+ (and+比較級)…" 如：The story gets ever more exciting.

Our country is growing ever richer and stronger.

2) "…+比較級+and+比較級…" 如：…his poor cheek has turned ever thinner and paler.
