用法辨析
- better作“较好的,更好的”解时是good的比较级,可用far, much但不可用more, very修饰。但在作“渐愈或痊愈的”解时不用于比较结构,也不可用much修饰。
- better用作表语时,其后可接由that或if引导的从句,从句中的谓语动词常用虚拟式以委婉地表达建议或看法。
- better用作副词的基本意思是“更好地”,既可修饰动态动词,也可修饰静态动词。作“更,更大程度地”解时,与more同义,常与love, like, know, understand等表示心理感情的静态动词连用。
- better常用于be better off短语中,意思是“比较富裕,较舒服”,其后可接名词或动名词。better还常用在the better..., the more...结构中,意思是“越…就越…”。
- better用作名词时,既可指“较好的东西”,也可指“较好的人”。引申可表示“前辈”“上级”。
- better一般只用于单数形式,其前可加冠词; 作“前辈”“上级”解时常用于习语elders and betters中。
- better用作动词可表示“胜过,超越”,还可表示“改善”“提高”经济状况、社会地位、自然环境等,接名词或代词作宾语。可用于被动结构。
- better与oneself连用时常表示“提高自己的社会地位”
- better指“病好些了”,表示“不unwell些”,而不是“更well些”。I am better today, but not well yet. 如果在没有生病的前提下身体变强壮,不用better。
- had better属于习惯用语,had不可改成have,后接不含to的不定式。You had better go at once. 你最好马上去。
- had better have结构的例句:I think/thought I had better have gone already. 我以为你已经去了,实际上你没有去。
