1. 表示兩者之中“較...”，用the+比較級+of the two。

I’ll give you the bigger of the two steaks; I’m not very hungry.

我要把這塊比較大的牛排給你，我不怎么餓。

2. 定冠詞或指示形容詞+比較級+名詞表示比較。

The taller man is the boss of the restaurant and the shorter one is his brother.

那個身材較高的男人是餐館老板。較矮的那位是他弟弟。

3. 有少數(shù)以-ior結(jié)尾的屬于拉丁語的形容詞，如inferior(次于), junior(年幼的;下級的), posterior(之后), prior(之前), senior(年長的,上級的), superior(優(yōu)于)等本身就有比較的意思，后面不接 than，常與介系詞to連用，后面用賓格。

I am two years junior to you.

我比你小兩歲。

該句相當(dāng)于?

I am two years your junior.

I am your junior by two years.

I am two years younger than you (are).

類似結(jié)構(gòu)還有?

be senior to(年長于)+賓格 ?be older than+主格

be superior to(優(yōu)于)+賓格 ?be better than+主格

be inferior to(劣于)+賓格 ?be worse than+主格
