As…As:相等测试
两件事物可以相等——和你一样高——也可以不同——比你高。一个小词对说"相同",另一个说"不相同"。
相等与不同
相同,还是不相同?
英语有一种不用排名的清晰比较方式:as + adjective + as 表示相等,not as + adjective + as 表示不同。当一方明显更多时,就用 than。
相等:as + adj + as
同级,没有 -erI am as tall as you
不相等:not as + adj + as
比另一个少I am not as tall as my brother
更多:adj-er + than
明显更多My brother is taller than me
as…as 里面不加 -er
形容词保持原级This car is as fast as yours
⚠️ as…as → 同级。-er than → 更多。not as…as → 更少。
公式
三行,一个思路
三者都以同样的方式比较:subject + be + 比较部分 + 另一个事物。只有中间部分变化。
Sheisas tall asher mother
This bookisnot as interesting asthat one
Heisolder thanhis sister
常见错误
搞混两者的四种方式
陷阱都来自混用两个体系:-er 偷偷溜进 as…as,than 代替了第二个 as,like 顶替了 as。
She is as taller as me.
She is as tall as me.
💡 as…as 用原级形容词——不加 -er。
This is not as cheap than that.
This is not as cheap as that.
💡 搭配是 as…as。这里没有 than 的位置。
He is as tall like me.
He is as tall as me.
💡 这个词是 as,不是 like。
He is more tall as me.
He is taller than me.
💡 More 就是 -er,它用 than 来比较:taller than。
