词语用法

词义讲解

常见错误

adj.(形容词)

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。

adv.(副词)

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…”。

n.(名词)

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。

v.(动词)

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”

adj.(形容词)

no better than, not better than, not any better than

这三个短语都可用于两者之间的比较,但含义各不相同。no better往往表示“两者都一样(不好)”; not better一般按字面意思来翻译,即“不比…好”; not any better则表示前者还不如后者,即“一点也不比…好”。试比较以下几个句子:

He is no better than an idiot.

他愚蠢得像白痴一样。

I'm not better than you in this respect.

在这方面我并不比你更高明。

I think she is not any better than me in this respect.

我认为她在这方面一点也不比我强。

v.(动词)

better, improve

improve与better意思相近,都指在原有基础上改进得更好。其区别是：

1.在提高的速度和水平上, improve比better更快更高。

2.better比improve更有生气和亲切感。

3.better和improve都可接反身代词再接介词in,前者指某人的社会经济地位向好的方面发展,后者指本身向更好的方面变化。例如:

He has bettered himself in living condition.他的生活条件已大有改善。

I wish to improve myself in drawing.但愿我在绘画方面有所长进。

adj.(形容词)

我的伤已完全好了。

误 I'm completely better now.

正 I'm completely well now.

析 better只是表示“渐愈”,若要表示“完全好转〔康复〕”则应用well。
