專題三　形容詞和副詞

　　一、概念

　　形容詞是用來修飾名詞，說明事物或人的性質狀態或特征的詞。

　　副詞主要用來修飾動詞、形容詞、副詞或其他結構的詞。

　　二、用法

　　形容詞在句中可以充當定語修飾名詞、代詞，也可作表語表示主語的狀態和特征，也可作補語和狀語。副詞在句中作狀語，修飾動詞、形容詞、副詞、介詞短語、從句等，也可修飾整個句子。

　　What an interesting role she played in the film! No wonder she has won an Oscar.

　　His daughter is shy in public and she never dares to make a speech to the public.

　　You don't have to be angry with him. He merely wanted to know the truth.

　　Only when the war was over did the young soldier return to his hometown.

　　雖然形容詞、副詞的用法繁多，但是高考單選中對他們的考查也是有章可循的，主要體現在以下幾個方面。

　　1．形容詞和副詞在具體語境中的運用

　　試題中提供的四個選項均屬于形式相同、意義相異的形容詞或副詞，做題時必須根據語境，即根據上下文的意思或邏輯等來確定選項。

　　Since Tom accidentally downloaded a virus into his computer, he can not open the file now.

　　It is not socially acceptable for parents to leave children unattended at that age.

　　Water can absorb and give off a lot of heat without big changes in temperature, thus creating a stable environment.

　　2．形容詞和副詞與其他詞的搭配

　　英語中有些形容詞和副詞與名詞、動詞，或另一形容詞等的搭配與漢語不完全一樣，在平時學習中通過運用把它們掌握好。如“大”雨、“濃”霧中的“大、濃”，英語中用heavy；漢語中說人數“多”，英語中卻用large；漢語中說睡得“香”，英語中卻說soundly等。

　　We decided not to climb the mountains because it was raining heavily.

　　The number of people present at the concert was much smaller than expected.

　　This kind of music is well worth listening to.

　　3.形容詞、副詞比較等的用法

　　同級比較用“as＋原級＋as”，兩者比較用“比較級＋than”，三者或以上比較用“最高級＋in (of)”。

　　Speaking of all the songs he has written, I think this is probably his best－known one.

　　Alan is a careful driver, but he drives the least carefully of my friends.

　　Little Mary plays the piano as beautifully as her sister.

　　注意：與比較等級有關的還有幾個特殊用法需要引起我們的注意。

　　(1)“the＋比較級……，the ＋ 比較級……”表示“越……，越……”之意，前面的句子相當于條件狀語從句，一般不用將來時。

　　The more you use a dictionary, the more useful you will find it to you.

　　The higher you climb the mountain, the less air you can breathe.

　　(2)“the＋比較級＋of the(兩者)”表示“兩者中比較……的”之意。

　　Which is the better of the two books?

　　The younger of the brothers is much clever.

　　(3)“a＋最高級”不表示“最……”，而表示“非?！?。

　　This is a most difficult lesson in this book.

　　She is a most mysterious person.

　　4．形容詞和副詞比較級和最高級的修飾語

　　修飾比較級可用far, even, still, a lot, lots, a great deal, a bit, rather, three times, any, no, very much等，修飾最高級可用 (by) far, much, nearly, almost, not quite, by no means, very, second, next 等。

　　—Are you going to the cinema this evening?

　　—No, the ticket is far too expensive for us.

　　The number of people at the concert is much smaller than expected.

　　Canada is the second largest country in the world.

　　5．形容詞和副詞辨析

　　英語中有些形容詞和副詞意思相同或相近，有時詞形相近，但用法有區別，這些詞也是單選的重點。

　　形容詞：calm, quiet, still, silent, common, usual, regular, ordinary, likely, probable, possible

　　副詞：fast, quickly, rapidly, very, far, quite, rather, hardly, mostly, almost, nearly

　　They will go fishing because the sea is calm.

　　The students were quiet when the teacher came into the classroom.

　　When I asked her where she had put the dictionary, she kept silent.

　　Please stay still when I take a photo of you.

　　6．多個形容詞的排列順序

　　一個名詞有多個形容詞修飾時其排列順序通常為：描繪形容詞→大小(長短高低)形容詞→形狀形容詞→年齡(新舊)形容詞→顏色形容詞→國籍形容詞→材料形容詞→用途(類別)形容詞→名詞(動名詞)。

　　The child dreamed that he had once lived in a pretty little wooden house in the forest.

　　It is said that ten strong young Chinese students are required to take part in the boat race.

　　7．something, anything等不定代詞的修飾語

　　形容詞用來修飾some, any, every和no構成的復合不定代詞時要后置。

　　There is nothing interesting in today's newspaper.

　　I must have my car repaired because there is something wrong with it.

　　8．以a開頭的形容詞

　　afraid, asleep, awake, alive, aware, alike, ashamed等形容詞通常在句中作表語和補語。

　　Are you aware that you are sitting on my hat?

　　The witch put the princess under a spell, and she fell asleep for ten years.

　　When the mother went into the room, she found the baby awake.

　　9.副詞enough的位置

　　enough修飾形容詞和副詞時要后置。

　　He is old enough to support himself.

　　Sorry. You didn't say it clearly enough.

　　10．有－ly與無－ly的副詞

　　有些單詞本身是副詞，加上－ly后同樣是副詞。一般無ly的副詞表示具體的含義，而有ly的副詞表示抽象的含義。

　　close意思是“近”； closely 意思是“仔細地”。

　　late意思是“晚”； lately 意思是“最近”。

　　deep意思是“深”，表示空間深度；deeply時常表示感情上的深度，“深深地”。

　　high表示空間高度；highly表示程度，相當于much。

　　wide表示空間寬度；widely意思是“廣泛地；在許多地方”。

　　free的意思是“免費”；freely 的意思是“無限制地”。
