每课一句:新概念英语第1册第107课
【往期回顾】
接下来,我们就来看看第107课的“每课一句”。
一、课文原文
Lesson 107 It’s too small
Do you like this dress, madam?
I like the colour very much. It’s a lovely dress, but it’s too small for me.
What about this one? It’s a lovely dress. It’s very smart.
Short skirts are in fashion now. Would you like to try it?
All right.
I’m afraid this green dress is too small for me as well. It’s smaller than the blue one.
I don’t like the colour either. It doesn’t suit me at all. I think the blue dress is prettier.
Could you show me another blue dress? I want a dress like that one, but it must be my size.
I’m afraid I haven’t got a larger dress. This is the largest dress in the shop.

二、每课一句
It's smaller than the blue one.
本课开始学习形容词和副词的比较关系,比较关系分为同级比较(也叫原级比较)、比较级和最高级,本课侧重的是比较级和最高级的基本用法。
(一)比较级
用来表示“某人或某物比其他人或物更加如何”,其用法有两大类:
1、A+be+形容词的比较级+than+B
如:
He is smarter than Jill.
2、A+do+副词的比较级+than+B
如:
He runs faster than Jill.
【注意】
形容词和副词的比较级的基本变化规则如下:
1、单音节或双音节词直接+er,如:taller, narrower。
2、以不发音的e结尾的单词直接+r,如:nicer, abler。
3、以“辅音字母+y”结尾的单词,改y为i,再+er,如:drier, happier。
4、以重读闭音节结尾的单词,双写最后一个辅音字母,再+er,如:hotter, sadder。
(二)最高级
用
来表示“某人或某物在...中是最...”,其用法有两大类:
1、A+be+the+形容词的最高级+in/of+比较范围
如:
He is the smartest in his class.
2、A+do+(the+)副词的最高级+in/of+比较范围
如:
He runs the fastest in his class.
【注意】
形容词和副词的最高级的基本变化规则如下:
1、单音节或双音节词直接+est,如:tallest, narrowest。
2、以不发音的e结尾的单词直接+st,如:nicest, ablest。
3、以“辅音字母+y”结尾的单词,改y为i,再+est,如:driest, happiest。
4、以重读闭音节结尾的单词,双写最后一个辅音字母,再+est,如:hottest, saddest。
三、更多拓展
I want a dress like that one, but it must be my size.
注意这句话可以作为套话来用,用来表达“我想要像那样的...,但必须是我的尺码”,即:
I want sth. like that one, but it must be my size.
如:
I want a coat like that one, but it must be my size.
当想要的事物为复数时,以上句型可以修改为:
I want sth. like those (ones), but they must be my size.
其中的ones可以省略。如:
I want shoes like those (ones), but they must be my size.
