太妃糖是哪个球队?

       太妃糖特指球队的话是英超球队埃弗顿。

       埃弗顿球队的绰号“太妃糖”（The Toffees）或“太妃人”（TheToffeemen）来源说法主要有两种观点：

       埃弗顿迁址古迪逊公园球场之后，埃弗顿当地有一家知名的主营各式甜点的太妃糖果店“诺布莱特妈妈”（ Mother Noblett's）。而店址正对着埃弗顿队徽中的鲁珀特王子塔（Prince Rupert's Tower）。贩售太妃糖的女孩在比赛开始前沿球场环绕一周向看台抛洒免费的埃弗顿薄荷糖逐渐成为了俱乐部的一项传统。而且埃弗顿的球员们在训练和比赛后就经常聚集到这家糖果店去聊天和吃甜点，特别是太妃糖。久而久之“太妃糖”也就成为了球队的代名词。这家百年的糖果老店也是埃弗顿的象征，而“太妃糖”这个别称曾经非常适合埃弗顿这家老牌俱乐部：至今仍保持着一项令人骄傲的纪录——自从1954年后就从未从顶级联赛中降级过。年年眼看跌落降级深渊，季季勉强保级逃过劫难，和太妃糖一样粘乎得很！

       而另一种观点则认为由布歇尔太太经营的一家太妃糖作坊由于临近俱乐部早期经常举行会议的女王头酒店（Queen's Head）而成为这一绰号的真正来源。

       太妃糖，英文Toffee的意思是西式糖果，也是糖的一个种类的统称，用红糖或糖蜜和奶油做成的硬而难嚼的糖。制作方法是将糖蜜红糖煮至非常浓稠，然後用手或机器搅拌这种物质，直到糖块变得有光泽并能保持固态形状时为止，即成。 太妃是由“toffee”音译而来，有时也叫“拖肥”，本义是柔软、有韧性的意思。一般是由炼乳、可可液、奶油、葡萄糖浆、香兰素和榛子经过充分细致地搅拌、烘烤而成。味道香甜，内有软糖心。

       埃弗顿足球俱乐部，英国西北部足球俱乐部，1878年成立（比同市宿敌利物浦早了14年，也是足球联盟成立时的创立成员），位于英国利物浦。俱乐部历史悠久，是英格兰联赛创立者之一。9次获得英格兰顶级联赛冠军，5次足总杯冠军，1次欧洲优胜者杯冠军。现参加英格兰足球超级联赛。

给学生的毕业赠言英语

       As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind. Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food. Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity. Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment. Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of uncertainty. Once learning stops, vegetation sets in. It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge. On the contrary, learning should be a never-ending process, from the cradle to the grave. With the world ever changing so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind. What's worse, the animalistic instinct dormant deep in our subconsciousness will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire for the refinement of our character. Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.

       学习之于心灵，就像食物之于身体一样。摄取了适量的营养食物，我们的身体得以生长而肌肉得以发达。同样地，我们应该日复一日不断地学习以保持我们敏锐的心智能力，并扩充我们的智力容量。不断的学习提供我们用不尽的燃料，来驱使我们磨利我们的推理、分析和判断的能力。持续的学习是在信息时代中跟时代并驾齐驱的最稳当的方法，也是在变动的世代中成功的可靠保证。 一旦学习停止，单调贫乏的生活就开始了。视学校为汲取知识的唯一场所是种常见的谬误。相反地，学习应该是一种无终止的历程，从生到死。由于世界一直快速地在变动，只要学习停顿数日就将使人落后。更糟的是，蛰伏在我们潜意识深处的兽性本能就会复活，削弱我们追求高贵理想的意志，弱化我们扫除成功障碍的决心，而且扼杀我们净化我们人格的欲望。缺少学习将不可避免地导致心灵的停滞，甚至更糟地，使其僵化。因此，为了保持心理年轻，我们必须将学习当作一生的事业 。

       Once there were two mice. They were friends. One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city. After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse; he said, "Do come and see me at my house in the country." So the City mouse went. The City mouse said, "This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city." The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse. It was a very good house. Nice food was set ready for them to eat. But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise. The City mouse cried, " Run! Run! The cat is coming!" They ran away quickly and hid. After some time they came out. When they came out, the Country mouse said, "I do not like living in the city. I like living in my hole in the field. For it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid."

       从前，有两只老鼠，它们是好朋友。一只老鼠居住在乡村，另一只住在城里。很多年以后，乡下老鼠碰到城里老鼠，它说：“你一定要来我乡下的家看看。”于是，城里老鼠就去了。乡下老鼠领着它到了一块田地上它自己的家里。它把所有最精美食物都找出来给城里老鼠。城里老鼠说：“这东西不好吃，你的家也不好，你为什么住在田野的地洞里呢？你应该搬到城里去住，你能住上用石头造的漂亮房子，还会吃上美味佳肴，你应该到我城里的家看看。” 乡下老鼠就到城里老鼠的家去。房子十分漂亮，好吃的东西也为他们摆好了。可是正当他们要开始吃的时候，听见很大的一阵响声，城里的老鼠叫喊起来：“快跑！快跑！猫来了！”他们飞快地跑开躲藏起来。 过了一会儿，他们出来了。当他们出来时，乡下老鼠说：“我不喜欢住在城里，我喜欢住在田野我的洞里。因为这样虽然贫穷但是快乐自在，比起虽然富有却要过着提心吊胆的生活来说，要好些。”

       Work and play do not contradict each other; in fact, they complement each other. As the saying goes, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." A life burdened with work leads you nowhere, for you would get tired and bored with your daily routine work. On the other hand, proper recreation will relieve the tension and discomfort of our monotonous life because it offers you various ways to let out your pent-up emotions. What I usually do to relax after school is jogging and watching movies. Usually I don't spare time for exercise, but I value the physical education class at school. Jogging several rounds in the field certainly relieves the day's pressure. On weekends, I'll catch the morning movie for my visual enjoyment. I feel revived and energetic for another week's work-load.

       工作与娱乐并不互相冲突，事实上，它们之间的关系还相辅相成。有句格言说：「整日工作而没有休闲娱乐，会令人变得沉闷乏味。」被工作重担压得喘不过气来的生活，将使你一事无成，因为你将对一成不变的例行公事感到厌烦。由另一方面来说，适度的娱乐活动能提供各种管道，来宣泄你被压抑的情绪，减轻单调生活中的紧张与不悦。 放学之后，我最常做的休闲活动，便是慢跑与看**。通常我并不特地拨出时间来做运动，但是我很重视学校的体育课。在操场上慢跑几圈，无疑地可以减轻一天的压力。在周末时，我都去看早场**，享受视觉盛宴。如此一来，我将有如再生般的充沛活力，去面对下一星期的工作量。

       Lost time is never found again. This is something which I learned very clearly last semester. I spent so much time fooling around that my grades began to suffer. I finally realized that something had to be done. It was time for a change. Now I have a new plan for using my time wisely. I have set my alarm clock ahead half an hour. This will give me a head start on the day. I have also decided to keep a log of what I do and when I do it. Looking back on what I’ve done will give me some ideas on how to reorganize my time.

       时光一去不复返，这是我上学期清楚学到的教训。我浪费很多时间四处游荡，以致于我的成绩开始退步。最后我终于了解到我必须有所作为；该是痛改前非的时候了。 现在我有一个明智运用时间的新方法。我已将闹钟早拨半小时，这将使我这一天的作息提前开始。我也决定将我所做的一切及做这些事的时间记录下来。回顾我所做的事情会启发我如何重新安排我的时间。

       In my opinion, the schoolwork now being assigned to high school students is too heavy. While it is true that students need to study, they need other things as well if they are to grow into healthy and well-rounded adults. High school students should be allowed more time for play. Playing is not wasting time, as some think. It gives them physical exercise, and also exercises their imagination. Which tends to be stifled by too much study. Finally, the pressure put on high school students by excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and mentally. I do not advocate the elimination of schoolwork. I do think, however, that a reduction of the current heavy load would be beneficial to students and to the society as a whole.

       我认为目前高中生的课业实在太重了，虽然说学生的确应当念书，但是要想长大成为健全的人，他门还需要一些其它的东西，所以应该给高中生较多从事娱乐的时间。娱乐并不如某些人所想的，是在浪费时间，它可以让学生锻炼身体，发挥被繁重课业扼杀的想象力。最后，繁重的课业加诸在高中生身上的压力可能引起严重的情绪紧张，这对身心都有害。我并非主张废除学校课业，但是我认为减轻目前繁重的课业对于学生和整个社会都是有益的。

       My first job was at a cramming school. It was three years ago when I just graduated from junior high school and finished the entrance examination. since I had nothing to do that summer, I decided to find a job, tasting the joy of independence. I was responsible for answering the telephone and taking the message. I worked eight hours a day, six days a week. The work was not difficult nor heavy to me and I guess I did well. The most delighted thing was perhaps that I could spend the money I earned all by myself.

       我的第一份工作是在一家补习班做事。那是三年前我刚从国中毕业，考完联考时的事了。既然我那整个夏天都闲着没事，倒不如找份差事，尝尝独立赚钱的快乐。 我负责接听电话且纪录留言的工作。我一天工作八小时，一星期工作六天。那份工作对我而言既不困难亦不沉重，所以我想我还满称职的。而最令人快乐的事大概莫过于花全部由自己赚来的钱了！

        Sports help everyone to keep healthy, happy, and efficient. So I pay special attention to games, especially table-tennis. Table tennis is my favorite game. I play it almost every day. Table-tennis is an ideal game for us because it brings the whole body into action. It strengthens our muscles, expands our lungs, promotes the circulation of the blood, and causes a healthy action of the skin. Besides, it is very amusing and does not cost us much money. Table-tennis is very moderate; it is not so rough as football. It is an indoor game and can be played even on rainy days. Thus, it is my favorite kind of exercise.

       运动能帮助每一个人保持健康、快乐和有效率。所以我特别重视运动，特别是乒乓球，乒乓球是我最喜欢的运动。我几乎每天玩。 乒乓球对我们而言，是一项理想的运动，因为它可以使我们全身运动，它可以增强我们的肌肉，扩张我们的肺部，促进血液循环，并且使肌肤产生健康作用，此外，它很有趣而且所费不多。乒乓球是相当温和适中的，它不像足球那么粗野。它是一种室内运动，甚至在下雨天也能玩。因此，乒乓球是我最喜爱的一种运动。

       I earnestly hope to lead a healthy and prosperous life in the future. Judging from my aptitude inclination and personality streaks, my ideal life will be that of a scientist, researching, lecturing, and writing books. As I am from a farming family, I particularly enjoy being close to earth. If I can afford to live a pastoral life in the countryside, I will feel most blessed. As far as social life is concerned, simplicity is what I intend to pursue, so I really don't need too many friends. All these will be mere talk if I am idle now. To attain my goal, I must make a point of training my body and mind. This is a highly competitive society in which everyone is eager to come out on top. That is not only a competition of physical strength and mental power, but a marathon of patience, faith, and perseverance. Life is not all roses, but with what I am being equipped with by the top teachers in this elite school, I surely deserve a promising prospect.

       我恳切地希望将来能过着健康而顺遂的一生。从我的能力倾向及人格特质来判断，我理想的生活方式将是担任一名科学家，从事研究讲学以及著作。由于我来自农家，尤其喜欢亲近土地。如果我有经济能力在乡下过着田园生活，我会深感福佑。至于社交生活，「单纯」是我所要追求的，所以我确实不需要太多的朋友。如果我现在懒散，这一切都将流于空谈；要达成目标，我必须重视锻炼自己的身心。这是一个高度竞争的社会，人人都渴望拔得头筹。那不但是一场体力和脑力的竞争，也是耐心、信心和毅力的马拉松。人生并不全是美好的事，但以我目前得自这所精英聚集的学校的顶尖老师所施的教化，我必定有个光明的前程。

        4.儿童英文童话故事

       Once upon a time, there was a small mountain village with beautiful scenery. There lived a happy monkey in the village. In front of the village, there is a clear river, and the water of the river flows slowly all the year round. There is a tall peach tree on the other side of the river. At harvest time, the big, round peaches were full of branches, as if they were smiling and nodding to people.

       When the monkey came out of the house, he saw the peach and his mouth watered. So he decided to cross the river and pick the peaches.

       After eating one after another, he had to move back home. At home, he thought, I will go to the river to eat a peach every day. Otherwise, I will take all the peaches home at once and put them on slowly. If that were the case, the other animals would not eat. 2 come: also can save a bit of strength, why the lifelong life so tired?

"Why are all the peaches rotting away, and coming out of the black and dirty water? It seems that I can only go hungry this winter. My hard-earned winter food is gone.

       That's what it thinks, and that's what it does. The monkey was smug: I can't believe I'm a stupid monkey. The more life experience, the richer!

       The sun and the moon shine like an arrow. The monkey counted the peaches from the tree and carried out the five plans each day. He ate and ate, and the peaches fell from under the tree and rolled around on the ground. The monkey thought it was football and was just playing. "Wow," he cried. "how did that happen? How come I can't get what I want every time?" He hugged his head and began to cry and said, "one day I will find out what is in the middle of this."

       That's all. The winter is coming. This self - righteous monkey, miserable to live. Think: can its foolish ideas lead to a happy life?

求英语国家常用的谚语

       下列副词的比较等级为不规则变化：

       形容词、副词比较等级的基本用法

       形容词与副词都有三个比较等级。

       1)原级常用于“as+ 原级+ as”结构。如：

       他和我一样高。(口语中一般用me)

       He likes her as much as he likes his sister.

       他很喜欢她，同喜欢他的姐妹一样。

       否定的原级用not as…as或not so…as，二者一般无甚区别。如：

       他没有他兄弟抽烟抽得凶。

       注意下面句中的词序：

       Germen is just as difficult a language as English.

       (8)This word is less frequent in British English than in American English.

       这个词在英国英语里比在美国英语里少见。(往往可代之以This word is not so frequent in British English as in American English)

       形容词、副词比较等级的其它用法

       形容词、副词的比较等级还有一些其它用法。

       1)原级的其它用法

       尽快来吧。

       有些as…as结构则是现成说法，如as well as, as much as, as far as, as far back as, as good as, as long as，as soon as, as often as 等。

       2)比较级的其它用法

       a)比较级前可用many, much, far, a little, a bit, slightly, a great(good)deal, a lot, completely等词语表示不定度量。如：

       The sun is much bigger than the earth.

       太阳比地球大得多。

       The sun is a lot bigger and brighter than the moon.

       I know no more Spanish than I know Greek.

       我对西班牙语和希腊语同样都不懂。

       c)no more(less)than与not more(less)than的含义不同，前者言其少(多)，后者则只意谓“不多(少)于”。试比较：

       I have no more than five yuan in my pocket.

       我口袋里的钱只不过5元。(no more than等于“只不过”，言其少)

       I have not more than five yuan in my pocket.

       我口袋里的钱不多于5元。(not more than等于“不多于”，“至少”，无言其多或少的含义)

       He is no less determined than you.

       他的决心不亚于你。(no less determined than等于“其决心不亚于你”，言其大)

       He is not less determined than you.

       他的决心不比你小。(not less determined than等于“其决心不小于”，无言其大或小的含义)

       d)比较级前可用“数词+ 名词”构成的名词短语表示确定的度量。如：

       He is two inches taller than his father.

       他比他爸爸高两英寸。(或说He is taller than his father by two inches. )

       She could not take a step further.

       她一步也不能走了。(a在此等于one)

       e)比较级可与even, still, yet等副词连用表示“更加”。如：

       In that small room he seemed even bigger than I remembered him.

       在那个小房间里，他的块头似乎显得比我所记得的更加大了。

       We are working still harder now.

       现在我们工作更加努力。

       This is bad; that is yet worse.

       这个坏，那个更坏。

       表示“因此而更加……”则用“all, so much, none等+ 副词the+ 比较级+ (表示原因的状语)，这种结构之后不可再接than从句。如：

       I walked around for two hours yesterday, and the doctor said I was none the worse for it.

       昨天我转游了两小时，而大夫说我的病情并未因此而恶化。

       His unkindness hurt me all the more because I had been previously so kind to him.

       以前我曾经对他很好，因此他的不友好更加使我难过。

       在一定的上下文中，原因状语可省去。如：

       If that is the case, all the better.

       如果事实是那样，那就更好了。(if从句内含原因)

       I know there's danger ahead, but I'm all the more set on driving forward.

       我知道前面有危险，但我因此而更加决心驱车向前。(前一分句内含原因)

       f)表语中比较两个形容词时，不管形容词有多少音节，皆须用more…than…结构，其意往往是…rather than…，可译为“是……而不是……”或颠倒词序译作“与其说是……，不如说是……”。如：

       That little girl is more shy than timid.

       那个小姑娘是害羞而不是胆怯。

       上述表语结构中的形容词不可用-er和-est，亦不可用than从句。但下面一类句子除外：

       This room is longer than it is broad.

       这个房间的长大于宽。

       〔注〕上述more…than…结构亦可用于名词、介词短语等。如：

       ①She is more mother than wife.

       她是贤妻，更是良母。(亦可说She is more a mother than a wife或She is more of a mother than a wife)

       ②It's more like blue than green.

       它是绿的，但更像是蓝的。

       上述more…than…亦可用于非表语结构。如：

       ③It'll do you more harm than good.

       它会对你害多益少。

       g)more than作为固定词组意谓“多于”，常用于数词(或相当于数词的词)之前。如：

       More than 1000 people attended the meeting.

       一千多人参加了会议。

       英语中的more than往往有“多得惊人”的含义。如无此含义，则应用over或在名词后用or more。如：

       There are over ten people in the room.

       房间里有十多个人。

       There are ten chairs or more in the room.

       房间里有十多把椅子。

       more than用于其它词语时则常意谓“不止”、“超过”等。如：

       She is more than pretty.

       她何止是漂亮。(不可用prettier代替more than pretty)

       和more than意义相反的有less than, worse than, little more than等。如：

       He seemed less than overjoyed.

       她似乎并不太高兴。

       You're worse than unfair. You're mean.

       你不止是不公正。你是卑鄙。

       Employment statistics in that country amount to little more than best guess.

       那个国家的就业统计和最好的猜测差不多。

       〔注〕类似的固定词组还有rather than, sooner than, other than, nothing more(less) than等。

       h)表示“越来越……”用“比较级+ and+ 比较级”结构或“more and more+ 原级”，这种结构不可后接than从句。如：

       Things are getting better and better every day.

       情况一天一天好起来。

       He is becoming more and more active in sports.

       他越来越积极参加体育运动。

       亦可用“ever等副词+ 比较级”表示“越来越……”。如：

       道路越来越坏，直到最后连路也没有了。

       Her position was becoming daily more insecure.

       她的地位一天比一天不稳了。

       i)表示“越……，就越……”常用“副词the+ 比较级，副词the+ 比较级”结构。前者是状语从句，后者是主句。如：

       The more, the better.

       越多越好。

       The harder she worked, the more progress she made.

       她工作越努力，进步越大。

       j)比较级用于否定结构可表“最……不过”。如：

       Nothing better!

       那最好不过了!

       There's nothing cheaper.

       再便宜不过了。

       〔注〕英语里的比较结构也常用来表示最高级。如：

        她在班里唱得最好。(=She sings best in her class)

       ②He's abler and more active than anyone else I know.

        他在我所认识的人中是最能干最富有活力的了。(=He's the most able and active man I know)

       k)英语里的比较级有时并无具体的比较含义，这种比较级叫做绝对比较级。如：

       younger generation 青年一代

       higher education 高等教育

       the lower classes 下层阶级

       the more complex problems of life 生活中的较为复杂的问题

       l)than从句的省略结构与as从句大致相同。它可以省去整个谓语部分，保留主语。如：

       She is more highly regarded than he.

       她比他受到更高的重视。

       Does Linda wear her hair longer than Mary?

       琳达留的头发比玛丽的长吗?

       She eats less than a bird.

       她的食量比小鸟还少。

       它可以省去部分谓语部分，保留主语和be, have或助动词。如：

       约翰开车比吉姆小心得多。

       We all love ourselves more and hate ourselves less than we ought.

       我们都对自己爱得过多，恨得过少。

       这种比较从句中的be, have或助动词可移至主语之前，进行倒装。如：

       No leader of a party has kept himself in greater detachment from the sentiment of his than has the late Prime Minister.

       任何政党的领袖都没有像已故首相那样不动感情。(助动词has移至主语the late Prime Minister之前)

       比较从句可以省去主要动词，保留其余部分。如：

       Imperialism will not change its nature any more than a leopard will its spots.

       帝国主义绝不会改变其本性，正如豹子绝不会改变其皮上的斑点一样。

       比较从句可以省去主语和部分谓语部分，保留宾语。如：

       I love him more than her.

       我爱他胜过爱她。

       They love their liberties even more than their lives.

       他们热爱自由胜过他们的生命。

       比较从句可以省去主语和部分谓语部分，保留修饰语。如：

       It's pleasanter traveling by day than by night.

       白天旅行比夜晚旅行愉快。

       〔注〕注意习惯上用more than usual，而不用more than usually, 如：Did you eat more than usual yesterday evening?(你昨晚吃得比平常多吗?)

       比较从句可以省去主语(或将than看作代词作主语用)，保留谓语部分(这种结构多用于正式文体中)。如：

       There is more in it than meets the eye.

       它的内涵较表面要深。

       Don't drink more than is good for you.

       不要喝得过量。

       〔注〕在He returned three days earlier than expected(他回来比所预料的早三天)一句中，than expected=than he was expected。

       下面一些句子的than从句省去了宾语：

       The box is bigger than I wanted.

       这箱子比我想要的大。

       She told me more than I cared to know.

       她告诉我的比我想知道的多。

       2)在一些比较省略结构中，than之后可用动词不定式。如：

       I know better than to mention it.

       我才不会提它呢。

       I cannot do better than to give you an idea of how I did it.

       我只能告诉你我是怎么干的。

       〔注〕有些固定词组的than之后须接不带to的不定式。如：

       ①Sooner than yield he resolved to die.

       他宁死不投降。

       ②I would rather stay than go.

       我宁愿留不愿去。

       3)最高级的其它用法

       a)最高级可被序数词以及much, by far, nearly, almost, by no means等词语所修饰。如：

       The Yellow River is the second longest in China.

       黄河是中国的第二大河。

       Of the three boys Nick is much the cleverest.

       这三个男孩中，尼克最最聪明。

       Of the three boys Nick is almost the cleverest.

       这三个男孩中，尼克差不多是最聪明的了。

       Of the three boys Nick is by no means the cleverest.

       这三个男孩中，尼克决不是最聪明的。

       b)形容词最高级用作表语强调事物品质时应省去定冠词。如：

       This is where the river is deepest.

       这是河流的最深处。

       Put the picture where light is best.

       把这张画挂在光线最亮处。

       如指事物，一般仍须用the。如：

       This book is the most difficult that I have ever read.

       这本书是我所读过的最难的一本书。(difficult后省去了one或book)

       c)如果形容词前的most=very，亦须省去定冠词the，这种无“最”含义的最高级叫做绝对最高级(不重读)。如：

       It is a most useful book.

       它是一本非常有用的书。

       Most作“非常”解时，不重读，但作“大多数”解时须重读。试比较：

       Most reputable writers have now abandoned this claim.

       一些非常可尊敬的作家现在已经放弃了这种主张。(most不重读，等于very)

       M’ost reputable writers have now abandoned this claim.

       大多数可尊敬的作家现在已经放弃了这种主张。(most重读，意谓“大多数”)

       “most+ 形容词”用作表语时，most如不重读，亦属绝对最高级；如重读，则意谓“最”。试比较：

       He was most eloquent at the close of his speech.

       他在他讲演的结尾最为雄辩。(most重读，等于“最”)

       He was most eloquent at the close of his speech.

       他在他讲演的结尾非常雄辩。(most不重读，等于very)

       有时带the的形容词最高级亦是绝对最高级，意谓“极”。如：

       We would like to help you with the greatest pleasure.

       我们极其乐意帮助你。

       Oh, he made the rudest remark!

       啊，他说了极为粗野的话。

       下面一些现成说法中的绝对最高级省去了the：

       I acknowledge, with sincerest thanks, your generous gift.

       对你慷慨的馈赠，我致以最衷心的谢意。

       With best wishes, Yours…

       致以最良好的祝愿，你的……(信中结束语)

       在正式文体中，the有时亦被省去。如：

       She had eyes of deepest blue.

       她有一双最深蓝的眼睛。

       在“形容词最高级+ of+ 名词(泛指)”的结构中，最高级亦表very, 一般不重读。如：

       He spoke in the softest of voices.

       他说话声音非常柔和。

       We are the best of friends.

       我们是极好的朋友。

       〔注〕上述结构中的名词不可有修饰语，否则最高级则变为相对最高级，意谓“最”。例如将上述例改为We are the best of his friends, 其意则变为“我们是他的最好的朋友”。再如Table tennis is the most popular of sports in China(乒乓球在中国最为盛行)，由于sports有修饰语in China，因而the most popular在此亦是相对最高级，意谓“最盛行的”。

       d)注意下面句子结构中的of短语不可或不宜后移。如：

       Of all the books I like this(the) best.

       在所有的书中，我最喜欢这本。(但可说I like this best of all)

       e)最高级可以和物主代词连用表示最佳情况或状态。如：

       I think he has done his best.

       我认为他已经尽了最大的努力。

       f)最高级在非正式文体中可表示二者的比较。如：

       This is the shortest of the two roads.

       这是两条路中最短的一条路。

       g)最高级有时有“即使”的含义。如：

       There is no smallest doubt.

       毫无疑问。

       The slightest neglect would cause a great loss.

       即使最小的疏忽也会造成很大的损失。

       4)英语里表示比较等级的手段还有：

       a)用equal(ly), same, enough等表示as…as…。如：

       No one's fingers are equally long.

       没有一个人的手指是一样长。

       They are the same age.

       他们同龄。

       It's clear enough.

       够清晰了。(=It's as clear as is necessary)

       b)用拉丁比较级superior, inferior, senior, junior, prior, major, minor等表示比较级。如：

       This carpet is far superior to that one in quality.

       这条地毯的质量远胜过那一条。(后一般须接to)

       Jones is senior to Smith.

       琼斯比史密斯资格老。(后须接to)

       He is having a major operation.

       他正在接受一次大的手术。

       〔注〕注意下列词组中的拉丁比较级都是绝对比较级(无比较含义)：

       senior citizens 老人

       superior quality 优质

       a minor point 不重要之点

       c)“too+ 原级”和“原级+ for短语”也可表示比较级。如：

       It's too long.

       它太长了。(=It's longer than is necessary)

       He is tall for his age.

       对他那样的年纪来说，他是长得高的。(=taller than normal)

       有时单用原级亦可表比较级。如：

       You are five minutes late.

       你晚了五分钟。(late=too late)
