much more,much修饰比较级
much修饰比较级
一、much修饰比较级
修饰比较是副词much的常见用法,“much + 比较级”的意思是“更……”“……得多”。如:
It’s much colder today than it was yesterday. 今天比昨天冷得多。
It was much worse than I thought. 它比我想像的还要糟得多。
We will be a much better football team next year. 明年我们将会成为一支更好的足球队。
二、much修饰最高级
much修饰最高级应置于最高级前的定冠词之前,而不是之后。“much + the + 最高级”的意思是“最最……”“绝对是最……”。如:
This is much the most difficult. 这是最最难的。
That’s much the best plan. 那绝对是最好的计划。
Of the three boys Nick is much the cleverest. 这三个男孩中,尼克最最聪明。
三、much修饰形容词的原级
much修饰形容词原级的情形主要见于那些由过去分词转化来的形容词。如:
I was much annoyed. 我很不高兴。
She wasn’t much surprised. 她并不太惊讶。
注:有个别非分词转化来的形容词有时也可用much修饰,但这种用法很有限,通常只见于good, different等少数几个形容词。如:
I don’t think this battery is much good. 我并不认为这种电池非常好。
The new school isn’t much different from the old one. 新学校与老学校区别不太大。
四、much修饰副词too
much too 为习语,其中的much修饰副词too;much too可视为too的加强说法,其语气比单独用too更强。如:
He spoke much too fast. 他说话说得太快了。
This is much too heavy for you to lift. 这东西太重,你拿不起来。
注意:much too与too much词序不同,用法也不同。从句法功能上看,much too的用法与too相同,但比too的语气更强;而too much在用法上则与much相同,但比much 语气更强。
2.It is seen as a crop of the poor.
see as视…为
例句:I see it as being responsible.
我就把他看成了是负责任的一点。
3.In areas without radio, the campaigners spread the message through community theater.
