Mere does not have a comparative form. The superlative form merest is used to emphasize how small something is, rather than in comparisons.mere 没有比较级，*高级 merest 并无比较之义，而是用来强调极其微小。

2. 极小的，微不足道的，单单(表示虽小却有重要影响)You use mere to indicate that a quality or action that is usually unimportant has a very important or strong effect.
e.g. The mere mention of food had triggered off hunger pangs...单单提到食物就引起了阵阵饥饿感。e.g. Whenever there was a gap in the traffic the merest pressure on the accelerator was enough to close it...每当车流里出现了一点儿空距，只要稍稍一踩油门，空距就没有了。
3. 只不过，仅仅(用于强调数量之小)You use mere to emphasize how small a particular amount or number is.
