众所周知,英语中的形容词和副词有比较级和最高级两种形式。这两种形式除了分别表示两者之间和两者以上之间的比较外,还可用来表示否定意义。这种用法主要见于: 1.know better than+不定式。这种结构意为“不至于”: She knows better than to go alone on such a night. 在这样的夜晚,她不至于连不宜单独外出也不知道。 know better than to do sth.的含义是be wiser,better informed,or more sensible than to do or believe sth. 以此类推,下列三句有类似意义,如: I am wiser than to believe that. 我不至于蠢到竟然相信这件事。 You have a better command of French than to make such mistakes. 你的法语较好,不至于犯这样的错误。 He is more experienced than to do such a thing. 他比较有经验,不至于做这样的事。 2.more than…can。这种句型形式上是肯定,实际上有否定含义,如: The boys in the street have become very insolent and it is more than flesh and blood can bear. 街上的男孩变得非常无礼,到了人所不能忍受的地步。 The beauty of the place is more than I can describe. 那地方美得无法形容。 This is more than I can tell. 这我简直不懂。 He has bitten off more than he can chew. 他承担了力所不及的事。 3.用the last,the least等最高级形式表示强烈的否定意义,如: He would be the last man to say such things. 他决不会说这样的话。 This is the last place where I expected to meet you. 我万万没有想到会在这儿碰上你。 That was the least of his worries. 那可是他最不担心的事情。 相关链接:教学论文
