“闲话”介词与比较级

众所周知,英语中两种事物的差别比较是用than来表达的,但也有少数介词能体现出两种事物之间的差别,具有比较级的作用.现列举若干,供参考.1.above高于……;超过……,胜过e.g.The mountian is 1,000feet above sea level.(=The mountainis 1,000 feet higher than sea level.)那座山比海平面高出1000英尺.We are very excited because theresult of the football match is aboveexpectation.(=We are very excitedbecause the result of the footballmatch is better than expected.)我们非常激动,因为足球比赛的结果比预料的要好.
