英语中,形容词最高级的用法是初中生必须掌握的重要语法内容之一,每年的中考都是必考内容。下面我们就全面了解一下它的用法。

一、形容词最高级的基本用法

1.形容词最高级表示三者或三者以上的人或物进行比较时,其中有一个在某一方面超过其他几个,有“最……”的含义。例如:

She is the best student in our class. 她是我们班里最好的学生。

John is the most diligent of the three boys. 在这三个男孩中约翰是最勤奋的。

2. 表示形容词最高级的比较范围时,常用介词in或of短语。使用时应注意:in后面接“某一比较范围”,of后面接“属同一类的比较对象”。例如:

The girl is the most beautiful of the three. 这个女孩是三个中最漂亮的。

This movie theater is the best in our town. 这家影院是我们镇上最好的。

3. 表示“……中,最……的一个”,常用“ one of the + 形容词的最高级 + 复数名词”结构。例如:

The Yellow River is one of the longest rivers in China. 黄河是中国最长的河流之一。

He is one of the tallest boys in our class. 他是我们班里个子最高的男孩之一。

4. 表示“第几个最……”可以用“the + 序数词 + 形容词最高级 + 名词”结构。例如:

Beijing is the second biggest city in China. 北京是中国第二大城市。

He is the second most popular teacher in our school. 他是我们学校第二受欢迎的老师。

5. 在“特殊疑问词 + be + the + 最高级,A,B,or C?”中,表示三者及以上的比较。例如:

Which is the biggest, the sun, the moon or the earth?太阳、月亮和地球哪一个最大?

Who is the tallest,Gary, Jack or Kelly?加里、杰克和凯利三个人中哪个个子最高?

二、形容词比较级表示最高级含义

1. 有时形容词的比较级可表示最高级含义,它们之间可以转换。最高级可以转换为“比较级 + than + any other + 名词单数”或“比较级 + than + any of the other + 名词复数”。例如:

Hangzhou is the most beautiful city in China. 杭州是中国最美丽的城市。

Hangzhou is more beautiful than any other city in China.

Hangzhou is more beautiful than any of the other cities in China.

2. 有些句子形式上是比较级,但实际上是表示最高级的含义。例如:

Nanchang is larger than any other city in Jiangxi Province. 南昌是江西省最大的城市。

You can’t find a better hotel than this one in the town. 在这个镇上你找不到比这一家更好的旅馆了。

3. 有时形容词最高级被very修饰,定冠词the放在very之前,表示“正是”。例如:

Jack is the very youngest. 杰克正是年龄最小的(那个男孩)。

This is the very oldest book that I am looking for. 我在找的正是这本最旧的书。

三、形容词最高级前不用the的场合

1. 当形容词最高级前面有物主代词、名词所有格或指示代词等限定词修饰时,不用加定冠词the。例如:

Collecting stamps is my latest hobby. 集邮是我最近的爱好。

Those tallest boys in our class, please stand at the back.我们班个子最高的那些男同学,请站在后面吧。

2. 在“most + 形容词原级”结构中,most意为“非常、十分、极其”,其前不用the。例如:

Paul is a most hard-working student. 保罗是一个学习非常刻苦的学生。

Changsha is a most beautiful city. 长沙是一个十分美丽的城市。

3. 当形容词最高级作表语,放在系动词后面,成为谓语的一部分,用于同一人或同一事物的比较时,形容词的最高级前面不加the。例如:

The supermarket is busiest on Sundays. 这家超市周日最忙。

The children are happiest on Saturdays. 孩子们在周六最快乐。

4. 形容词最高级在句中用作宾语补足语时,其前面不用加the。例如:

I found it most difficult to get to sleep. 我发现入睡最难。

He thinks it best to see the doctor. 他认为最好看医生。

5. 在as、though等引导的让步状语从句中,形容词最高级前面不用加the。例如:

Cleverest though he is, he doesn’t study hard. 虽然他最聪明,但他不认真学习。

Youngest in my family as/ though she is, she knows what is the right thing to do. 尽管她是我家最小的,但她懂得什么是正确的。

6. 当两个形容词最高级同时修饰一个名词时,后一个形容词最高级前通常不用加the。例如:

He is the youngest but tallest boy in our class.他是我们班年纪最小但个子最高的男孩。

I think Lin Xinru is the most popular and most talented actress.我认为林心如是最受欢迎并且最有才艺的女演员。

7. 形容词最高级在at构成的介词短语中起名词作用时,其前不用加the。例如:

Each student is allowed to borrow 6 books once at most. 每一个学生一次最多只能借六本书。

They will come back on June 1 at latest. 他们最迟将在六月一日回来。
