威威老師的文法特快車：比較級與最高級 (Comparatives & Superlatives)
課程導航
哈囉各位同學！我是威威老師。
來，回答這 3 題：
- 「跟你哥一樣高」用 as ___ as？
- 「比你哥更高」用 ___ than？
- 「全班最高」用 the ___？
如果你的答案是 as tall as / taller than / the tallest —— 恭喜，你已經抓到了比較三等級的骨架！
英文世界裡，要描述「誰跟誰比、誰最厲害」，有一套精確的三段式：原級 / 比較級 / 最高級。學會這套，你寫英文時可以精準表達等級關係——不管是商品比較、能力評估、還是經典名言”The harder you work, the luckier you get”（你越努力，運氣越好）。
學測這部分幾乎每年必考 2-3 題！而且陷阱不少——比較級不能加 very、superior 不接 than、one of the + 最高級接複數…今天威威老師帶你全部踩平。
繫好安全帶 🚂
課前快問 (Pre-Quiz) — 複習 16 關係代名詞
- This is the best book ____ I’ve ever read.（that / which）
- Find error: “The thing what I want is a coffee.”
- Choose: My sister, ____ lives in Tokyo, is coming.（who / that）
解答
- that — 最高級 (best) → 只能用 that。
- what → that 或刪除 the thing：The thing that I want… / What I want…
- who — 有逗號（非限定）→ 不能用 that。
一、三個等級 — 原級、比較級、最高級
想像一場跑步比賽 🏃
| 等級 | 結構 | 中文 | 範例 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 原級 (Base) | as + adj + as | 和…一樣 | Tom is as fast as John.（一樣快） |
| 比較級 (Comparative) | adj-er / more adj + than | 比…更 | Tom is faster than John.（更快） |
| 最高級 (Superlative) | the + adj-est / the most adj | 最… | Tom is the fastest in the class.（最快） |
💡 威威白話：
- 原級 = 「平手」（A = B）
- 比較級 = 「領先」（A > B）
- 最高級 = 「第一名」（A > 全部其他）
二、比較級與最高級的形成規則
2-1 規則一：單音節 → + er / est
| 原級 | 比較級 | 最高級 | 規則 |
|---|---|---|---|
| tall | taller | tallest | 直接加 |
| short | shorter | shortest | 直接加 |
| fast | faster | fastest | 直接加 |
| large | larger | largest | 去 e + er/est |
| nice | nicer | nicest | 去 e + er/est |
| big | bigger | biggest | 雙寫 + er/est |
| hot | hotter | hottest | 雙寫 + er/est |
| thin | thinner | thinnest | 雙寫 + er/est |
2-2 規則二：雙音節 -y 結尾 → 去 y + ier / iest
| 原級 | 比較級 | 最高級 |
|---|---|---|
| happy | happier | happiest |
| heavy | heavier | heaviest |
| pretty | prettier | prettiest |
| easy | easier | easiest |
| early | earlier | earliest |
| busy | busier | busiest |
| lucky | luckier | luckiest |
2-3 規則三：雙音節 -le / -er / -ow → 兩種都行
| 原級 | 比較級 | 最高級 |
|---|---|---|
| simple | simpler / more simple | simplest / most simple |
| clever | cleverer / more clever | cleverest / most clever |
| narrow | narrower / more narrow | narrowest / most narrow |
| gentle | gentler / more gentle | gentlest / most gentle |
2-4 規則四：三音節以上 → more / most
| 原級 | 比較級 | 最高級 |
|---|---|---|
| beautiful | more beautiful | most beautiful |
| expensive | more expensive | most expensive |
| important | more important | most important |
| comfortable | more comfortable | most comfortable |
| interesting | more interesting | most interesting |
| difficult | more difficult | most difficult |
2-5 規則五：不規則變化 — 必背！
| 原級 | 比較級 | 最高級 | 中文 |
|---|---|---|---|
| good / well | better | best | 好/健康 |
| bad / badly | worse | worst | 壞/差 |
| many / much | more | most | 多 |
| little | less | least | 少（量） |
| few | fewer | fewest | 少（數） |
| far | farther / further | farthest / furthest | 遠 |
| old | older / elder | oldest / eldest | 老 |
💎 進階 trivia：
- elder / eldest 只用於家人之間（my elder brother, my eldest son）。
- older / oldest 用於任何比較（This building is older than that one）。
- further 還有「進一步的」意思（further information）；farther 主要指實際距離。
🎯 變化規則即時練習（5 題）
1. Form comparatives and superlatives: (a) tall → ______ / ______ (b) happy → ______ / ______ (c) big → ______ / ______ (d) beautiful → ______ / ______ (e) good → ______ / ______
2. 改錯：He is more taller than his brother.

解答與詳解
第 1 題：
(a) taller / tallest (b) happier / happiest (c) bigger / biggest (d) more beautiful / most beautiful (e) better / best
第 2 題：刪除 more
✅ 修正：He is taller than his brother. 解析：tall 已是比較級 taller，不能再加 more！
第 3 題：(A) more difficult
difficult 是 3 音節 → more difficult。
第 4 題：She is smarter than her sister.
第 5 題：(B) more / the most
✅ Tom has more books than I do（比較級），but Mary has the most of all（最高級必加 the）。
三、as…as 句型 — 「跟…一樣」
3-1 基本句型
| 句型 | 意思 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|
| as + adj/adv + as | 跟…一樣 | Tom is as tall as John. |
| not as / so + adj/adv + as | 不如…那樣 | Tom is not as tall as John. |
3-2 變體句型
| 句型 | 意思 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|
| as + adj + as possible | 盡可能… | Reply as soon as possible (ASAP)! |
| as + adj + as one can | 盡某人所能… | Run as fast as you can! |
| twice/three times as…as | 是…的 N 倍 | This box is twice as heavy as that. |
| half as…as | 是…的一半 | My room is half as large as yours. |
🚨 as…as 中間只能放原級！不能放比較級！ ❌ as taller as ✅ as tall as
3-3 常見搭配
| 搭配 | 意思 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|
| as good as | 幾乎跟…一樣好 | This is as good as new. |
| as much as | 多達 | He earns as much as $100,000. |
| as long as | 只要／和…一樣久 | Stay as long as you want. |
| as well as | …和…一樣好 | She speaks English as well as Chinese. |
🎯 as…as 即時練習（5 題）
1. Choose: This box is as ______ as that one. (A) heavy (B) heavier (C) heaviest (D) heaviness
2. 改錯：Run as fastly as you can!
3. Translate: 「請盡早回覆。」(Use as soon as possible)
4. Choose: My new phone is twice ______ as my old one. (A) expensive (B) more expensive (C) the most expensive (D) as expensive
5. Choose: She doesn’t speak English ______ Chinese. (A) as well as (B) as good as (C) as best as (D) so well
寫好答案再往下看 👇
解答與詳解
第 1 題：(A) heavy
as…as 中間用原級。
第 2 題：fastly → fast
✅ Run as fast as you can!（fast 是副詞，沒 fastly！）
第 3 題：Please reply as soon as possible. (ASAP)
第 4 題：(D) as expensive
twice as + adj + as = 兩倍…。
第 5 題：(A) as well as
修飾動詞 speak → 用副詞 well。as well as = 和…一樣好。
四、比較級句型
4-1 基本結構
Tom is taller than John.
^^^^^^ ^^^^
比較級 比較對象
4-2 加強語氣：much / a lot / far / even / still + 比較級
🚨 比較級的加強，不能用 very！
| 加強語 | 例句 |
|---|---|
| much + 比較級 | This is much better. |
| a lot + 比較級 | She is a lot taller. |
| far + 比較級 | This is far more important. |
| even + 比較級 | The exam was even harder. |

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
越用功 成績越好
| 例句 | 意思 |

4-4 比較級 + and + 比較級 — 越來越…
| 例句 | 意思 |
|---|---|
| It’s getting colder and colder. | 越來越冷 |
| The movie became more and more exciting. | 越來越刺激 |
| She is growing taller and taller. | 她越長越高 |
4-5 no + 比較級 + than（特殊結構）

五、最高級句型
5-1 基本結構

^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
最高級 範圍（in/of）
| 句型 | 例句 | 範圍用法 |
|---|---|---|
| the + 最高級 + in + 地點/群體 | He is the tallest in the class. | in（地方/群體） |
| the + 最高級 + of + all/them | She is the smartest of all. | of（所有人之中） |
5-2 ⚠️ one of the + 最高級 + 複數名詞！
This is one of the best movies I have ever seen.
^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
最高級 複數名詞！
🚨 學測經典陷阱：one of the + 最高級後面一定接複數名詞！ ❌ one of the best movie ✅ one of the best movies
5-3 比較級表達最高級
| 句型 | 意思 |
|---|---|
| 比較級 + than any other + 單數 | 比任何其他都…（= 最…） |
| 例：He is taller than any other boy. | = He is the tallest boy. |

第 4 題：(B) any other girl
比較級 + than any other + 單數！
第 5 題：student → students
✅ She is one of the smartest students in the school.
六、特殊比較結構
6-1 prefer A to B — 「偏好 A 勝過 B」
I prefer coffee to tea.
^^^^^^ ^^^^
A B
| 例句 | 意思 |
|---|---|
| I prefer reading to watching TV. | 我偏好閱讀勝過看電視 |
| She prefers dogs to cats. | 她喜歡狗勝過貓 |
🚨 prefer 用 to，不是 than！

| inferior to | 劣於 | His work is inferior to hers. |
| senior to | 資深於 | He is senior to me by 2 years. |

七、考試陷阱大整理
學測比較考題的 7 大陷阱
陷阱 1：as…as 中間用原級
❌ as taller as → ✅ as tall as
陷阱 2：比較級加強用 much，不用 very
❌ very better → ✅ much better
陷阱 3：one of the + 最高級 + 複數
❌ one of the best movie → ✅ one of the best movies
陷阱 4：superior / inferior + to（不用 than）
陷阱 5：double comparative 不能 (more taller / most tallest)
比較級／最高級不能加 more / most！
陷阱 6：fast 沒有 fastly
fast 既是形容詞也是副詞——本身就對！
陷阱 7：the + 比較級, the + 比較級

第 30 題：完整修正
原段：My new phone is more better than the old one. It’s twice expensive than the previous model, but it’s also one of the most powerful smartphone on the market. I would rather to use this one than going back to the old phone. As far as battery life, this is more superior than my old phone. The more I use it, the most I love it.
✅ 修正版： “My new phone is better than the old one. It’s twice as expensive as the previous model, but it’s also one of the most powerful smartphones on the market. I would rather use this one than go back to the old phone. As far as battery life is concerned, this is superior to my old phone. The more I use it, the more I love it.”
修正了 7 處：
- more better → better（不能 more + 比較級）
- twice expensive than → twice as expensive as（X times as + adj + as）
- smartphone → smartphones（最高級 + 複數）
- would rather to use → would rather use（不加 to）
- going → go（would rather + 原形）
- more superior than → superior to（superior 不加 more 不加 than）
- the most → the more（「越…越…」用 the + 比較級）

學習科學小知識：檢索練習 (Retrieval Practice)
讀完一章後不要立刻重讀——而是合上書，試著回想「剛才學了什麼」——這叫檢索練習。
大腦在「努力提取」記憶的過程中會強化神經連結，讓記憶更持久。被動閱讀只是「輸入」，主動回想是「輸入 + 輸出」——後者效果好 3-5 倍。
應用：今天讀完後，蓋上書，憑記憶寫下：
- as…as 中間用什麼？
- 比較級加強用什麼？
- one of the + 最高級接什麼？
- superior 後面用什麼？
寫不出來？回頭再讀，再蓋上、再寫。這個「忘了再想起」的循環就是最強學習法。
