几年以前,在一本语言学刊物上发表的文章中,认为汉语的“比较(较)好”和英语的better是同样的意思。其实,这是一种误解。众所周知,英语的形容词分三“级”:原级、比较级、最高级。如:good,better,best·比较级是其程度高于原级,即better在性质程度上高于good.例如:This bookis good,but that book is better than thisSiu.(这本书好,但那本书比这本还好。)

A few years ago, in an article published in a linguistic publication, it was considered that “comparative (or better)” in Chinese is the same as better in English. actually it is a kind of misunderstand. As we all know, English adjectives are divided into three “levels”: the original level, comparative level, the highest level. Such as: good, better, best · compare level is higher than the original level, that is better in the nature of higher than good. For example: This bookis good, but that book is better than thisSiu. (This book is good, but that This book is better than this one.)
