走出any/any other的比较误区

不少初学(自学)者将“他的英语说得比他班上的任何学生都好”译成:1.He speaks English better than any other student in his class.2.He speaks English better than any student in his class.两种译文的差别仅在于 other 一词。一词之差,使得译文1是对的,译文2未忠于原文,这可以从下面两个句型的分析比较中得到解释:句型 A:“…比较级 than any other 单数可数名词 …”是对同一范围中的两者进行比较。句型 B:“…比较级 than any 单数可数名词…”是对不同范围的两者进行比较。比如:3.Tom is taller than any other boy in his class.4.Tom is taller than any boy in Class Four.句3是在同一范围内,即在同一班级学生之间进行比较,因而适用于     

形容词比较等级的几个误区

误区一:同范围内比较,把自身包括在内。1.误:Wei Fang is taller than any girl in her class. 正:Wei Fang is taller than any other girl in her class.     

三言两语说“三”“两”

★either,any either和any都有“任何一个”的意思,注意指两者中的“任何一个”时用either,指三者或三者以上中的“任何一个”时用any。例如:There are green trees on either side of the street.街道两旁都有绿树。Jenny in Class 2 is taller than any other girl in Class     

错题解答

Q:下面一道选择填空题,我选C,答案是B。请问than any与than any other之间有什么区别?China is larger than__in Africa.A.the other countries B.any country C.any other country A:同学们在学习比较级时,经常会碰到He studies better than any other classmate in his class.类似的句子。大家会认为any other是个短语,并记下来。上面这道题却有所不同,对于     

比较级用法“八忌”

1.忌比较不合逻辑应避免自我比较。使用比较级时,比较对象中不能包括比较者本身,如果所比较的人或物同属一类别,须用other将比较的人或物本身排除在比较的范围之外。如不能说Shanghai is larger than any city in China.因为"any city"本身已包括Shanghai,应改为…arger than any other city.(any other+单数名词,any other+复数名词被视为不规范英语,最好不要用。),或larger than the other cities(theother+复数名词),或larger than any of the other cities(any of the other+复数名词)等形式。如果比较的双方不属同一范围或同一类,则不加other,如:     

形容词和副词的原级、比较级、最高级

1.比较的对象不能互相包容。如:1)China is larger than any other country in the world.(加other排除China)中国比世界上其他任何一个国家都大。2)China is larger than any country in Africa.(不用other,因为China不在非洲,无需排除。)

关于than的含蓄否定表达法

众所周知,英语中从属连词 than 常用于两者比较,引出比较状语从句,意为“比…(更)”。如:She works harder than I(me).He is taller than any otherstudent in our class.但除此而无外,than 还可表示含蓄否定,即在 than…结构中没有否定词却有否定含义。这类结构有时使句子更具修辞色彩。现将由than 构成的含蓄否定表达法分述如下:

比较等级易错的七类情况

比较等级是初中生必须掌握的重要语法项目之一,但不少同学在使用的时候经常出错,归纳起来大致有七类易错的情况:一、比较对象不一致在使用比较级时,比较的双方必须是同一类人或物,非同类的事物是不能进行比较的。例如:他的钢笔比我的便宜。误:His pen is cheaper than I.正:His pen is cheaper than mine.析:his pen只能与my pen相比较,这里的mine等于my pen。冬季,北京的天气比上海冷。误:The weather in Beijing is colder than in Shanghai in winter.

as…as any/ever句型的理解与翻译

as...as是英语中表示同级比较的常见结构,译为“与……一样”,如: 他与父亲一样高。He is as tall as his father. 主语He的比较对象是his father,是一个固定的具体的对象,这样的比较句表示的是一种静态的比较。当as...as any/ever结构后面跟的是一个不定代词any或副词ever(意即at any time,表示任何一个时间,即一个不
