近两年在英语四六级翻译中的考试 Since my childhood I have found that to me, nothing is more interesting than reading. (没有什么比读书对我更有吸引力) (2006. 12) The more you explain, the more confused I am .(我愈糊涂)(2006. 6) 强化例句： Nothing could have been more annoying. 强化例句： The older I get, the happier I am. 3.1 形容词的修饰与位置 一般来说，从构词法角度来看，后缀 “ ly”往往是副词，但有的以“ ly ”结尾的词是形容词而不是副词，这点要注意； 形容词一般可以在句子中做定语、表语等成份，但有些形容词在句子中只能做表语和只能做前置定语，这些形容词在修饰时候有一定的特殊性。 3.1.3 只作前置定语的形容词 earthen 泥土做的 daily 每日的 latter 后面的 golden 金子般的 weekly 每周的 inner 里面的 silken 丝一般的 monthly 每月的 outer 外面的 wooden 木制的 yearly 每年的 elder 年长的 woolen 毛织的 former 前任的 mere 仅 only 惟一的 sheer 纯粹的 very 恰好的 little 小的 live 活的 如：Do you enjoy listening to records?

[A] of last year’s [B] those of last year’s [C] of those of last year [D] that of last year’s （前后相比的应该是今年和去年注册参加的人数“the number of”故代替它的应该是单数指示代词“that”，而不能选择B，those是指代participants，不是同类对比，答案为D。  3)比较级与倍数词关系及其位置  原级结构中可插入表达倍数的词，表示为“为….若干倍”,当与有表示倍数比较的词在一起时候等，他们的位置是，倍数词+as…as…,或倍数词+more…than…，但again一般放在原级词之后，即 “as+原级＋again + as”.如 Smoking is so harmful to personal health that it kills people each year __ than automobile accidents. [A] seven more times [B] seven times more [C] over seven times [D] seven times  “Do you regret paying__ as five hundred dollars for the painting ?”“No, I would gladly have paid for it.” [A] twice so much [B] twice as much [C] as much twice [D] so much twice  4）下列词和短语不用比较级形式却表示比较概念： inferior, minor, senior, prior, prefer to, superior, major, junior, preferable, differ from, compa
