The wind became more and more heavily. 风变得越来越大。 B. “the +比较级……， the+比较级”，表示“越……越……”。

The more money you make, the more you spend. 钱你赚得越多，花得越多。 The sooner,the better. 越快越好。

C. 表示倍数的比较级用法： a. A is …times the size /height/length/width of B. The new building is three times the height of the old one. 这座新楼比那座旧楼高三倍。（新楼是旧楼的四倍高） b. A is …times as big /high/long/wide/large as B. Asia is four times as large as Europe. 亚洲是欧洲的四倍大。

（亚洲比欧洲大三倍） c. A is …times larger /higher/longer/wider than B. Our school is twice bigger than yours. 我们学校比你们学校大两倍。 大多数形容词（性质形容词）和副词有比较级和最高级的变化，即原级、比较级和最高级，用来表示事物的等级差别。

原级即形容词的原形，比较级和最高级有规则变化和不规则变化两种。 1） 规则变化 单音节词和少数双音节词，加词尾-er,-est来构成比较级和最高级。

构成法 原级 比较级 最高级 一般单音节词 tall（高的） taller tallest 末尾加-er,-est great（巨大的） greater greatest 以不发音的e结尾和以- le结尾的双音节词只加-r,-st nice（好的） nicer nicest ,able（有能力的） abler ablest 以一个辅音字母结尾的闭音节单音节词，双写结尾的辅音字母，再加-er,-est big（大的） bigger biggest hot热的） hotter hottest “以辅音字母+y”结尾的双音节词改y为i，再加 -er,-est easy（容易的） easier easiest ,busy（忙的） busier busiest 少数以-er,-ow结尾的双音节词末尾加-er,-est clever（聪明的） cleverer cleverest narrow（窄的） narrower narrowest 其他双音节词和 important（重要的） 多音节词，在前 more important 面加more,most most important 来构成比较级和 easily（容易地） 最高级。 more easily most easily 2） 不规则变化 原级 比较级 最高级 good（好的）/ better best well（健康的） bad （坏的）/ worse worst ill（有病的） old （老的） older/elder oldest/eldest much/many（多的） more most little（少的） less least far （远的） farther/further farthest/furthest 比较级形容词或副词 + than You are taller than I am./ You are taller than me. The lights in your room are as bright as those in mine. 注意： 1）要避免重复使用比较级。

（错） He is more cleverer than his brother. （对） He is more clever than his brother. （对） He is cleverer than his brother. 2）要避免将主语含在比较对象中。 （错） China is larger that any country in Asia. （对） China is larger than any other country in Asia. 3）要注意对应句型，遵循前后一致的原则。

The population of Shanghai is larger than that of Beijing. It is easier to make a plan than to carry it out. 4）要注意冠词的使用，后有名词的时候，前面才有可能有名词。 比较：Which is larger, Canada or Australia? Which is the larger country, Canada or Australia? She is taller than her two sisters. She is the taller of the two sisters. 可修饰比较级的词 1)a bit, a little, rather, much, far, by far, many, a lot, lots, a great deal, any, still, even等 2）还可以用表示倍数的词或度量名词作修饰语。

3）以上词（除by far）外，必须置于比较级形容词或副词的前面。

4.英语趣味小知识

趣味英语小知识 a)Ten animals I slam in a net. 我把十只动物一网打尽 你注意到这句话有什么特别之处吗？对了，无论从左到右，还是从右到左，字母排列顺序都是一样的，英语把这叫做Palindromes 回文（指顺读和倒读都一样的词语），关于动物的回文还有以下的例子 Otto saw pup ; pup was Otto. （奥托看见了小狗，小狗的名字叫奥托） Was it a car or a cat I saw ? Was it a rat I saw ？ （我刚才看见的是条老鼠？） b)the bee’s knees 又来形容最好的至高无上的东西。

[例] She is a very poor singer but she thinks she’s the bee’s knees. （她五音不全却自认为是高高在上的一流歌手。） 该表现起源于20年代的美国，仅仅因为bee’s 和 knees押韵，琅琅上口，迅速得到流传，直到现在， 还在日常生活非正式场合的对话中经常使用。

和时间有关的英语趣味小知识（一）时间是金，其值无价 Time is money.（时间就是金钱或一寸光阴一寸金） Time flies.（光阴似箭，日月如梭） Time has wings.（光阴去如飞） Time is a file that wears and makes no noise.（光阴如锉，细磨无声） Time stays not the fool’s leisure.（时间不等闲逛的傻瓜） Time and I against any two.（和时间携起手来，一人抵两人） Time is life and when the idle man kills time, he kills himself.（时间就是生命，懒人消耗时间就是消耗自己的生命。或时间就是生命，节省时间，就是延长生命） Time spent in vice or folly is doubly lost.（消磨于恶习或愚行的时间是加倍的损失） （二）时间是风，去而不返 Time undermines us.（光阴暗中催人才。

所以，今天我想讲几件轶事，都是因为没有理解听到看到的东西而闹出的笑话。也许，从他们的经验中，你也可以学到一些东西。

第一个故事发生在秘鲁，一位美国妇女在餐馆里用餐。她问服务员： Excuse me. Where could I wash my hands？ 服务员把她带到洗手间，可不巧，正有一些工人在粉刷洗手间的墙壁。

工人们一看有人要用洗手间，就准备离开。服务员拦住他们，说： That’s Ok. Stay. She only wants to wash her hands. 在英语里，wash my hands实际上是上厕所的委婉说法。

那个服务员按照字面意思理解，结果闹了笑话。 还有一次，一个留学生在国外的学校第一天上学，心里又兴奋又紧张。

一个美国人见到一张新面孔，为了表示友好，就问： Hi! What’s the good word？ 留学生一听到这个，立刻傻眼了，他想， My God! I don’t know the good word. I’ve studied English for years, but no one told me about the good word！ 他犹豫再三，想，反正我也不知道，就问问他好了。于是他吞吞吐吐地问： Hello. What’s the good word？ 老美听了，很随意地说： Oh, not much. 这下，这个留学生就更吃惊了！ 原来，What’s the good word？ 在美语里，是一句问候语，意思是“你还好吗？”但问话的人并不指望你把遇到的高兴的事情都一一告诉他，只是打个招呼而已。

但这个留学生以为对方真的在问什么是Good word，所以闹了笑话，不过还好，也算给他歪打正着了。 下面的故事就更有意思了。

一次，一个美国公司的管理人员给公司一个驻外分部发了一份。
