old - older -oldest (老 - 更老 - 最老)
由上述翻译不难看出,形容词的比较级其实就是在2者中比较,“更……”。而最高级则是在3者或3者以上,“最……”
补充:
young-younger-youngest
short-shoter-shortest
small-smaller-smallest
tall-taller-tallest
strong-stronger-strongest
fat-fatter-fattest
long-longer-longest
big-bigger-biggest
thin-thinner-thinnest
不难看出,比较级+er表“更……”,最高级+est表“最……”。
附双写规则:重读闭音节就要双写.重读闭音节即两个辅音中间夹一个元音. 如:sit---sitting
简单说来,比较级就是“更……”而最高级就是“最……”
