几个值得注意的比较级句式

前者意为“与…一样不”，否定两者；而后者则表示“和…一样”，肯定两者。如：

She’s no more a great singer than I am. 他不是优秀歌手，我也不是。

Your brother is no less wise than you. 你的兄弟跟你一样聪明。

A whale is no more a fish than a horse is. 马不是鱼，鲸也不是鱼。

A dolphin is no less a clever animal than a dog is. 海豚与狗同样都是聪明的动物。

九、less / least +原级

“less＋原级”表示降级的比较级；“least＋原级”表示降级的最高级。如：

Would you mind speaking less quickly? 你可否讲得慢一点?

The movie was less funny than the book. 电影没有书那么滑稽有趣。

This is the least useful of the four books. 这是四本书中最没用的一本。

It is said that those who eat the most are the least healthy. 据说吃得最多的人身体最差。

十、less…than…的用法

1. 本身用作比较级：把more看成many或much的比较级，后接名词，表示“比…更多”。如：

Statistics show that there are more boys than girls at school. 统计数字表明学校的男生比女生多。 

2. 后接多音节形容词和副词：more后接多音节形容词或副词，前后是两个或两类人或物进行比较时，表示“比……更”。如：

Airports were more closely watched than anyplace else. 飞机场比任何其他地方看守得更严密。

All human beings are much more intelligent than animals. 所有人类的智力都比动物高得多。

3. 对同一对象的两个方面进行比较：若是对同一个人或物在不同方面进行取舍时，意为“与其说……倒不如……”，此时，不论形容词或副词是单音节、双音节还是多音节，一律用more…than…。如(from www.hxen.net)：

He is more hungry than tired. 与其说他累了，倒不如说他饿了。

I was more annoyed than worried. 我与其说是着急，不如说是生气。
