比較級 + much / a bit / far

要說多很多或多一點，就把表示程度的詞放在比較級（-er 或 more …）的正前方。

• I feel much better now, thanks.

  我現在感覺好多了，謝謝。

• My new flat is a lot bigger than the old one.

  我的新公寓比舊的大多了。

• This phone is a bit cheaper online.

  這部手機在網上便宜一點。

💡Very 不能放在比較級前面。要說 much better、a lot better 或 far better——不說 very better。

1. 差別大：much、a lot、far——much 任何語體都可以用；a lot 比較隨意，口語中非常常見；far 語氣更強。非常隨意的口語（尤其是美式）還會用 way：way better。

• Hanoi is much colder than Ho Chi Minh City in January.

  一月份河內比胡志明市冷得多。

• Living in the city is far more expensive than living in my village.

  住在城裡比住在我們村裡貴得多。

2. 差別小：a bit、a little、slightly——a bit 最口語化；slightly 語氣中性，也適合書面語。

• My sister is a bit taller than me.

  我姐姐比我高一點。

• Private lessons are slightly more expensive than group classes.

  私教課比小班課稍微貴一點。

3. 更加：even——當另一方已經很熱、很貴、很難……的時候

• Yesterday was hot, but today is even hotter.

  昨天很熱，但今天更熱。

• The second test was even harder than the first.

  第二次考試比第一次還要難。

4. 和名詞連用：much more / many more / a few more——much more + 不可數名詞，many more + 複數名詞；a lot more 兩種都可以。數量少時：a bit more + 不可數名詞，a few more + 複數名詞。

• You'll need much more time than that.

  你需要的時間會比這多得多。

• We need many more chairs for the party.

  派對需要再多很多把椅子。

• Can I have a few more minutes?

  能再給我幾分鐘嗎？

Very、much、a bit… 能放的位置並不都一樣。下表列出哪些詞和形容詞原級連用，哪些和比較級連用。

  大叻晚上非常冷。

• Da Lat is much colder than Nha Trang.

重複比較級（-er and -er，more and more + 形容詞）表示某事物在不斷變化。Any + 比較級 用在疑問句和否定句中；no + 比較級 表示“一點也不比……更”。“越……越……”的句型有單獨一課：見 “the more …, the more …” 一課。

• It's getting hotter and hotter.

  天越來越熱了。

  你今天感覺好些了嗎？

  good → better。
