内容简介

如果想描述一个人或一件事情的变化或进展，表示 “越来越……”，可以使用 “comparatives（比较级）”。怎样用英语说 “我越来越饿”？谈论这类变化时，形容词的音节数量是否会影响句子的结构？本集 “一分钟英语” 视频介绍用形容词比较级描述进展的方法。

文字稿

Hi, I’m Roy and today I’m going to tell you about using comparatives to say that someone or something is changing or developing.

So, the structure is like this:

Comparative + and + the same comparative.

So we put the ‘and’ in the middle of the two comparative adjectives.

Every year, I look older and older.

Don’t forget that with adjectives of two or more syllables, like ‘beautiful’, we use the word ‘more’ + an adjective to make the comparative. We don’t add ‘–er’.

With these, we add the ‘and’ in the middle of the two ‘more’s, for example:

Every day, my wife Luciana gets more and more beautiful.

Anyway, that’s everything for today. I’m getting hungrier and hungrier, so I’ve got to go. Bye.

用法总结

1. 我们可以使用 “形容词比较级 + and + 重复该形容词比较级” 的结构来表达 “越来越……”。

• Every year, I look older and older.
• I’m getting hungrier and hungrier.
• These trees will continue to grow bigger and bigger.

2. 有两个或以上音节的形容词比较级通常为 “more + 形容词原形”。在这种情况下，我们用 “more + and + more + 形容词” 的结构来表达 “越来越……”。

• Every day, my wife Luciana gets more and more beautiful.
• I found the show more and more interesting as time went on.
