同等比較/同級比較

形容詞跟副詞的同等比較,例子都是形容詞的,可以參考做一下,這不難,不及比較可能要想一下。五天假期飛快的過去了,大家不願意面對的事實即將來臨。準備開始做收心操了,潔西剛逛PTT,大家連假在比宅,我沒朋友也沒錢都宅在家裡面,潔西想說這好像在說我喔,然後想到,不對,今天下午跟朋友出去喝下午茶,昨天還去看一級玩家,恩,不夠宅,哈哈。

怎麼辦,懶得寫中文的翻譯。天啊,八點了,下午茶吃太飽都不會餓,不過還是要來去吃個東西,不然晚一點一定餓到睡不著。

基本上潔西就是把句型寫出來,下面有例子,然後後面有練習題。這還算簡單好用的文法。我不像你那麼懶 I’m not as lazy as you. 我沒看過像你看過那麼多的電影 I haven’t seen as many movies as you have. 其他的可以看或聽影片。

已讀未回,比較級,最高級簡單用法整理

 

關於已讀未回,潔西想說的是…

 

先說已讀未回,昨天寫一半的文法的比較級跟最高級放後面。這篇很想說很久了,(然後卡一下,這篇寫了一兩個星期了,還沒發就被追殺了XD 發完快去回,請再等等)

 

很多人都很在意已讀未回,潔西是自己也是已讀未回慣犯,所以把藉口寫一寫大家參考一下。然後被潔西已讀未回的請多敲幾次。然後看潔西明明有時間發廢文但沒時間回你的訊息的人不要太在意,潔西多半是忘了或者還在醞釀要怎麼回,這藉口還可以嗎XD

 

1 第一種有點不太一樣,是在線上怎麼敲都不回,那很簡單,潔西的話其實通常是在掛網,人不在電腦前。不然就是在忙,有空的時候自然就會回了啊,真的有時候沒事沒事,有事同時好幾人在線上敲問事情的時候,一不小心就錯頻了。恩,最後就是很明顯不想理你,就不要煩他了啦

 

2 已讀了,但是人在外面或在忙,潔西常這樣,因為潔西用手機打字很慢,所以都會想說等晚一點有空或回家的時候再回,但是常常會回去一忙就忘了…所以有重要的事就麻煩多敲幾次

 

3 覺得須要很認真的思考,有空的時候再來好好的詳細的回,但是呢,常常留言一多就被蓋過去,一忙就忘了

 

4 不是問題的留言,覺得只是對方想說點話,表達意見,分享看法。也沒有什麼可以回應的或不知道該怎麼回應的。潔西後來發現很多人,尤其是男生,假如要他們回的話,必須把想說的話寫成很明確的問句他們才會回,假如都是問句了還每次都已讀不回,恩,那就算了,這個人大概就不值得你花時間一而三再而三地一直留言。

 

5 心情不好的時候,就不會回。先前在已婚的前男友的FB留生日快樂的留言。他回潔西問潔西 How are you? 那時狀況很差啊,就一整個不想打馬呼眼就沒回,但是老實說,外國人很多的 How are you? 就跟 Hello! 台灣的「甲飽沒」有時也沒有真的期待你的回答啦,不過潔西心情不好不想理人不想說話的時候就會刻意忘記回,所以也來能體諒別人狀況不好不回。恩,但就這點一定要唸個某某學生前陣子都給潔西已讀不回,然後居然還敢去鬧潔西狀態,這可惡的傢伙啊!還好前幾天有回,不然又要被潔西唸一輩子了啊,哈哈

 

6 不知道該怎麼回答的就不會回。有的人就會問或說一些怪怪很無言你不知道怎麼回的話,那就只有當作沒看到,自然而然已讀未回囉。潔西三不五時想到就會常去留怪怪留言的人,所以很習慣沒被回…

 

7 大家都不相信,但是 FB 跟 Line 真的都會吃留言吃訊息啦!真的就是沒收到,係金ㄟ。很少,但是還是會有。最近才被給看對方的訊息,就有圖,有潔西的照片,但潔西就真的沒收到啊!還發生過好幾次。

 

8 潔西在睡夢中收發的訊息自己都不知道,所以…,話說昨天又發了一堆,早上起來發給誰過都不記得…

 

反正已讀未回就未回啊,有事就多敲幾次,不然就直接打電話,不爽回就不要回,忘記回就忘記回,世界很大,人很多,天災人禍不斷,那天一早手機一早開就是法國的悲劇,唉,不要計較太多啦,想做的事想說的話想達到的目標好好去追求,很多是真的不用太在意一些對自己沒有幫助的事啦。然後潔西真的大部分都是忘記回,請多敲幾次,像 Line 也很常會忘記看,常常隔一兩天才會看到過期訊息…

 

真的真的還是不回就算了,別跟自己過意不去。潔西自己也好不到哪去,說的比做的容易 easier said than done 說了不下一百遍了吧?今天被醫生問到最近如何,恩,回答就是一言難盡啊。就一個很忙,然後心情比較跳吧,出去吃吃喝喝的時候當然心情不錯,上課上不好又一整個掉下來。好像最近也抱怨頗多,然後剛剛突然想到,一個人究竟能夠多真確地看待自己,自己是什麼樣的人?做著什麼樣的事?真的客觀的不帶偏見的去評斷自己做的事情是正確的還是不正確的。

 

突然好想哭喔,這想哭的天氣,醫生問說天氣有沒有關?潔西覺得有耶,今天就一直很想哭啊,這種天氣,昨天終於整理了一下信用卡簽單,雖然開始上課有薪水領了,不過信用卡隨便刷就超過好多,就仗著開始工作可以花錢的那種心情亂花錢?然後收到健身房帳單,好久好久沒去,藉口好多,一直偷懶。 腦袋有點空空啊最近,覺得備課有點吃力。有種說不出的累。

 

啊,今天早上六點半就起來,昨天又亂敲學生,學生好好,耶,有人陪吃飯了。結果摸到十點多好想睡就要出門看醫生了,所以現在還是覺得笨笨的。剛剛在捷運上做下星期要代課的多益的題目居然看錯,還寫錯答案。昨天睡前突然一陣恐慌,有點印象,睡前還在做呼吸的練習。隨時眼淚會掉下來的感覺真的是很妙,還好等等要去跟可愛的小朋友玩,心情應該會比較好。

 

還是累累的,呆呆的,早點睡應該會好一點?剛剛回來還剛好來得及倒垃圾。覺得最近忙到很久都沒倒垃圾了,本來是一四六倒垃圾,但是最近好像都不是潔西倒的,不然就是拖很久啊。房間不知怎麼地上又堆了十多個文件夾,衣服也還沒洗, 啊!!!早點洗洗睡去。晚安。

 

下面是拖了超久的廢文,沒有啦,是整理的比較級跟最高級。沒有很難但是說錯寫錯的人很多

 

I like shopping online because it’s more cheaper. (X)

我喜歡在網路上購物因為比較便宜。

 

Finding Dory is best movie I ever seen. (X)

多莉在哪裡是我看過最好看的電影。

 

上面兩種句子都不少人說,第一個比較級的話就是要記住最基本的規則是一個音節加 er ,兩個音節以上加 more ,有了 more 就不會有 er ,有 er 當然也就不會有 more 。所以要說  I like shopping online because it’s cheaper. 才對。或者可以說 I like shopping online because it’s more convenient. 我喜歡在網路上購物是因為比較方便。另外有比較對象時需要 than ,Taipei is more convenient than Tainan. 台北比台南方便,這時候 than 不要忘記。另外昨天說過的,台北的空氣品質比台南糟,中文這樣說,但是英文不可以說 Taipei’s air quality is worse than Tainan. (X) 台北的空氣品直要跟台南的空氣品質比,不是跟台南比,這也是比較容易犯的錯誤。Taipei’s air quality is worse than Tainan’s air quality. 

 

然後最高級大家會忘記的是 the ,前面通常都要有 the 加上 est 或 the 加上 most,後面要有限定的範圍,假如是用經驗的話,完成式的 have/has 不要忘記了。 Finding Dory is the best movie I’ve ever seen. (O) 這樣才對啊!

下面是 Touchstone 裡面的文章,能不能找出比較級有哪些呢?順便把規則看出來。

 

A Comparatives 比較級: 

How do you keep in touch with people?

你怎麼樣跟別人保持聯絡?

 

A: I usually use e-mail. It’s quicker and easier than anything else. But I get a lot of spam. There’s nothing worse than spam when you’re really busy.

A: 我通常用電子郵件。它比其他方法都快又容易。但是我收到一堆垃圾郵件。沒有什麼比你在忙的時候收到垃圾郵件更糟了。

 

B: I like to write letters. I know regular mail is slower than e-mail, but letters are more personal. And I never send those e-cards. I just think it’s nicer to get a real card.

B: 我喜歡寫信。我覺得一般郵件比電子郵件曼,但是信件比較私人。我也從來不寄電子卡片。我覺得收到真的卡片比較好。

 

C: I send text messages to my friends all day. It’s more fun than calling. And you can send photos, too. Too bad I can’t do it in class.

C: 我整天傳簡訊給我朋友。它比打電話好玩。你也可以寄照片。我不能在課堂上這樣做真是太不幸了。(沒那麼誇張,潔西翻的有點誇張。有點真是不好玩那種意思吧)

 

D: Well, at work we use video conferencing. It’s less expensive than a business trip. And more convenient. And you don’t get jet lag, either!

D: 恩,我們在上班時用視訊會議。它比商務旅行還便宜。而且更方便。而且你也不會有時差的問題!

 

E: I use a webcam to keep  in touch with my parents. They think it’s better than the phone because they can see me. I guess it’s more interesting.

E: 我跟我家人用視訊來保持聯絡。他們覺得這比電話好因為他們可以看見我。我覺得這比較有趣。

 

 

B 形容詞與副詞比較級與最高級變化規則,沒有很難,記一下

1 一個音節的形容詞或副詞在字尾加er形成比較級,加est形成最高級。

cheap-cheaper-cheapest, slow-slower-slowest, fast-faster-fastest

 

2 一個音節的形容詞或副詞字尾為e時,只要加r形成比較級,加st形成最高級

3 一個音節的形容詞或副詞(多為三或四個字母)字尾結構是子音加母音加子音時,則要重複字尾加er來形成比較級,加est形成最高級

big-bigger- biggest, hot-hotter-hottest, slim-slimmer-slimmest

 

4 兩個音節的形容詞或副詞字尾為y時,則去y加ier形成比較級,加iest形成最高級。

pretty-prettier-prettiest, friendly-friendlier-friendliest,

funny-funnier-funniest

 

5 兩個或兩個音節以上的形容詞或副詞則在前面加more形成比較級,加most形成最高級。字尾是ly的副詞通常在前面加more或most。

convenient-more convenient-most convenient,

handsome-more handsome-most handsome

 

6 有少數特殊變化需牢記。

good-better-best, bad-worse-worst, far-farther/further-farthest/furthest (兩者都可表物理上的距離,但是只有further可以表更進一步),

 

 

C 形容詞與副詞比較級句型 Adjectives and Adverbs Comparatives

1 形容詞比較級:

N1 + be + adj-er/more adj + than + N2

The Bulls played better than the Lakers.

3 less是more的相反,所以只有 more adj / more adv 的句型的相反才可以用 less adj / less adv 。假如是 adj-er / adv-er 的句型的相反則要用 not as…as的句型。

 

A taxi is more expensive than a bus.

計程車比公車貴。

公車沒有計程車貴。

最近每天都累到不行。今天回來吃了點東西,三四點就昏睡過去到六點才起來。今天課上不好,不太開心。也不是沒準備好,但是忘記帶東西,又太貪心想上太多來不及上完。學生大致上安定下來了,大部分是可愛熟悉的面孔,其實還蠻好帶的,但是上玩就一整個怪怪的,不像平常上完很開心。就沒辦法,像學生今天輸了第一場比賽一樣,好好調整,下一場重新再來,贏了,呵呵,讓潔西心情有好一點。
 
而且超久沒運動,整個人覺得都快廢掉了,又胖了一圈,因為先前運動手麻,藉機偷懶,不去實在不行,覺得整個人很不健康,在各方面。越忙越要運動跟注意飲食還有睡眠。
 
時間真的過得飛快,潔西一個月前半夜四點半跟學生在線上聊天,因為當時他剛到 LA 去唸 summer school,居然今天跟潔西說回來台灣了,蝦米?一個月了。就這樣一個月過去了,一點感覺都沒了。
 
啊!突然想到獅子座的潔西的生日症候群吧,年紀越來越大的時候隨著生日到來的壓力?通常會心情很差。雖然不過也就是過了這一天,多了一歲。不過今年超巧的,找學生吃飯找很久,然後問他們究竟何時有空,學生說了三天放假的日子,其中有兩天有人都不行,好吧,那就剩下的那天,剛好那天就是潔西生日,剛好陪潔西吃飯,耶!(希望不要再流產,上次說到最後沒吃成…,這次再沒吃成,潔西要哭了啦,這樣威脅不知道有沒有用XD)
 
還是很忙很多事要做,不過覺得還是早點睡好了,現在覺得昏昏的,也想不出所以然來。下面是最近新整理的,可以參考一下。
 
突然想到先前有人問動詞跟名詞的比較級,恩,英文沒有這種東西,中文有嗎?因為要比較兩個名詞的時候,是比較用來修飾的形容詞,比方說台北的交通跟高雄的交通,沒法比,要有形容詞來比較,比哪一個好或哪一個差。動詞也是一樣,要用修飾的副詞來比較。誰跑得比較快,誰說話比較慢等等。潔西應該沒說錯吧?
 
大家不要太相信網路上的東西,很多時候其實只要問一下 Google 大師就可以查證了,有時候是潔西已經不知道該怎麼說了,很多人在網路上查到人家寫的文章就奉為聖旨,恩,沒那麼誇張啦,就百分百照單全收,其實很多時候有可能都只是某個人單一的想法。
 
像昨天潔西碎碎念那個快跟潔西吵起來的醫生,當然潔西不會把他的名字寫出來,但是相信很多人一定覺得他是很好的醫生,哼,潔西看他對別的病患都很好啊,哈哈。潔西自己也是很機車的病人啦,沒吵起來還好,這種東西很多時候就真的是台語說的「先生緣」,潔西講實在點就是遇到那種能治潔西的醫生,說的話夠說服力,手段夠高,人夠好,哈哈,當醫生哪有這麼辛苦的啦?跟當老師一樣,有時候就是個緣份囉,有人喜歡有人不喜歡。你做一樣的事,有人愛得要死,有人覺得你好爛。這星期三代課完也是覺得胸口被打一拳一樣,上課上得不開心也蠻煩惱的。好像有點上太難,繼續反省繼續調整,要代兩個月耶,還有人上課刷一整堂手機,以為他第二堂不回來,還是出現了,結果潔西買了晚餐要去吃,看到那位同學,完全沒胃口了。恩,每天代課的話應該可以容易地順利減肥吧?哈哈。
 
這星期都有很認真備課,也有認真上課,但是,唉,繼續努力,加油中。下面都有解釋跟例題,多練習一下其實沒有那麼難喔。今天太累了,想不出好玩的例子來舉例,亂舉一通了。
 
然後太晚了,隨便亂寫一通就兩點半了,只有放到相同程度,比較級跟最高級改天再放,晚安:)
 
 
A: 形容詞 adj 與副詞 adv:程度相同的
1. as + adj + as 來表示比較人,事物,地方等在某方面是相同。
as…as : N1 + be + as + adj + as + N2 表示N1跟N2是相同的
Jessie is as old as my mother.
潔西跟我媽年紀一樣大。
 
是啊,潔西的年紀可以當很多學生的媽了啊。除夕在學生宿舍玩桌遊的時候發現有個學生跟潔西一樣生肖,潔西大他兩輪,正常的啊!
 
My boyfriend is as handsome as Jon Snow.
我的男朋友跟約翰史諾一樣帥。
 
Jon Snow 是美劇權力遊戲 Game of Thrones 裡面男主角之一的名字,最近出了 Winter is coming 的 T恤,好想買,連穿的男主角一起買下來,下面一堆人留言啊,哈哈。
 
認真講,很簡單,就是 as 跟 as 中間放形容詞的原型,所以前面的跟蜜蜂一樣忙 as busy as a bee 。下面還有幾個練習。
as + adv + as 來表示比較行為的程度是相同的
as…as: N1 + V + as + adv + as N2. 表示N1的行為跟N2是相同的
He drank as fast as she did. (They drank equally fast.)
他喝得跟她一樣快。(他們喝得一樣快)
 
台灣人真的很愛灌酒耶,潔西先前有寫到同學,潔西沒乾杯就把酒吐出來,實在夠誇張。今天聽一個學生也很誇張,昨天喝了酒不能騎摩托車回家,所以就騎 YouBike 回家,很危險地啦。喝到兩點多今天還是有起來上課,不錯不錯。
 
Ken studies as hard as Cathy does.
肯恩念書跟凱西一樣勤奮。
這就是在 as 跟 as 之間放修飾的副詞的原型就對了啦。
 
2. not as + adj + as 來表示比較人,事物,地方等在某方面是不同的。
not as…as: N1 + be + not + as + adj + as + N2 表示N1跟N2是不同的。
N2並不像N1那樣的
 
Jessie is not as old as my mother.
潔西不像我媽年紀那樣大。
 
恩,這誰年紀大呢?這樣子是潔西比較年輕喔。假如相反過來 Jessie is not as young as my mother. 潔西不像我媽那麼年輕。那就是潔西年紀比較大喔,不要弄錯了喔。這邊有時候有點容易混淆。
 
not as + adv + as 來表示比較行為的程度是不相同的
not as…as: N1 + V + not as + adv + as N2.
He doesn’t drive as skillfully as she does.
他開車沒有像她開地那樣好。
 
相信這很多人會抗議,這裡是女生開車開得比較好。不過現實生活中,很多時候很多男生會覺得他們開車開地比女生好,看到路上橫衝直撞的是女駕駛就會說不意外之類的。不過潔西周遭的女生開車都開超好的。潔西姐,傑西同學,那天跟朋友去吃飯,有個位置卡在邊邊又有點被護欄卡到,所以沒人停,潔西覺得看起來是不可能的任務,潔西朋友輕輕鬆鬆就停起去了,嚇死寶寶。好啦,不鬧了。寶寶不流行了,現在流行,假的!唉呀!我眼睛業障重啊!
 
最後提醒,兩個比較的東西要一致,中文可以說英格蘭的天氣跟蘇格蘭一樣糟,所以有人就會寫出下面錯誤的句子
England’s weather is as bad as Scotland. (X)
 
英格蘭的天氣不可以跟蘇格蘭比,要跟蘇格蘭的天氣比,所以要寫
 
England’s weather is as bas as Scotland’s weather.
 
比較的東西要對等喔,然後用原型就對了:)

基礎文法L7 第九章 比較

這一章說的是比較級,最高級。用來表較兩樣多樣事情的不同時的用法。還挺實用的,而且不難。口頭禪差點要說簡單,恩,比較時態來說潔西覺得算簡單,但是還是有它複雜的地方。多看例句,多做練習會比較有概念。所以上星期上課因為來不及,所以沒有給很多的練習題。這幾天把練習題都補齊了,所以沒有買課本的人可以做做練習,比較有概念。有課本的人做完練習可以再來做這兒的練習。

Why study? 為什麼要唸書?

The more I study, the more I know. 我唸的越多,我懂得越多。

The more I know, the more I forget. 我懂得越多,我忘得越多。

The more I forget, the less I know. 我忘得越多,我知道的越少。

So why study? 那麼,為什麼要唸書?

這超好用又超好笑,潔西昨天睡不著的時候寫了一堆,

為什麼要吃飯?
我吃得越多,我拉得越多。
我拉得越多,我肚子越餓。
所以為什麼要吃飯?

為什麼要睡覺?
我睡得越多,我越感到累。
我越感到累,我睡得越多。
所以為什麼要睡覺?

為什麼要賺錢?
我賺得越多,我花得越多。
我花得越多,我越沒有錢。
所以為什麼要賺錢?

有夠白癡吧,哇哈哈。

打講義真的要花很多時間,潔西綜合了好幾本書,找出自己覺得比較常用,然後還要好好的想想整理一下,覺得怎麼樣同學比較容易理解,所以,真的需要很多時間,所以可能會有些錯誤,因為用腦過度,呵呵,請大家見諒跟幫忙校對。感激不盡:)

歡迎同學自行私下下載練習使用,但請勿任意轉載或公開使用,  潔西寫講義花了很多時間精力跟心血, 並且標明出處。雖然校對技巧很差,雖然裡面也可能有錯誤,呵呵,還是要尊重一下原作者喔,謝謝:) 又摘要使用的書或版權屬原公司所有。摘自Azar的Fundamentals of English Grammar,Longman的Grammar Express,Oxford的Oxford Practice Grammar,另外還有Cambridge的English Grammar in Use等書。

Leo’s phone is similar to my phone.

Tim’s phone is different from my phone.

3. the same + N + as:可以在the same跟as中間加入名詞,表示相同的東西。

My shoes are the same size as yours.

4. N1 + be + like + N2 = N1 and N2 are alike

like當介系詞時,有像…的意思。後面一定要接名詞。

alike可以當形容詞跟副詞。這個用法是形容詞用法,表示兩者很相似。

Leo’s phone is like my phone.

Leo’s phone and my phone are alike.
