英语短语"not as…as"是同级比较的否定形式,核心含义是:“不如……;不像……一样(具有某种特征/程度)”。它用于对比两个事物/人的同一属性,说明前者在该属性上的程度低于后者。
"not as…as"的完整结构为:
注意:
比较的是同一类属性(如身高、速度、价格等);
形容词/副词必须用原级(不能用比较级或最高级);
比较对象要前后一致(避免偷换概念,如用代词代替重复的名词)。
根据修饰的词类(形容词/副词/名词),"not as…as"的用法可细分为以下几类:
用于对比人/物的状态、性质或外貌等,结构为:
例:
He is not as tall as his father.(他不如他父亲高。)
This dress is not as beautiful as that one.(这条裙子不如那条漂亮。)
The weather today is not as hot as yesterday.(今天的天气不如昨天热。)
用于对比动作的方式、速度、频率等,结构为:
主语 + 实义动词 + not as + 副词 + as + 比较对象(需借助助动词do/does/did)例:
She doesn’t run as fast as me.(她跑得不如我快。)
He didn’t speak as clearly as his teacher.(他说话不如他老师清楚。)
They don’t work as hard as we do.(他们工作不如我们努力。)
当比较的是“具有某种特征的人/物”时,结构为:
例:
He is not as good a student as his sister.(他不如他姐姐是个好学生。)
This is not as interesting a book as that one.(这本书不如那本有趣。)
在"not as…as"中间加入nearly(几乎不),表示“远不如;根本不如”,加强否定程度。
例:
This restaurant is not nearly as good as the one we went to last week.(这家餐厅远不如我们上周去的那家好。)
She is not nearly as rich as her cousin.(她根本不如她表妹有钱。)
当主句是“I don’t think/believe/suppose…”时,否定会转移到宾语从句,表示“我认为……不如……”。
例:
I don’t think he is as smart as you.(我认为他不如你聪明。)
She doesn’t believe the movie is as exciting as the book.(她认为这部电影不如书精彩。)
"not as…as"可与less + 形容词/副词原级 + than互换(前者更口语,后者更正式)。
例:
He is not as tall as his father. = He is less tall than his father.(他不如父亲高。)
This dress is not as beautiful as that one. = This dress is less beautiful than that one.(这条裙子不如那条漂亮。)
1、 不能用比较级:"as…as"和"not as…as"中间必须用原级,不能用比较级(如taller/faster)。
❌ 错误:He is not as taller as me.
✅ 正确:He is not as tall as me.
2、 比较对象要一致:避免前后对比的事物不同类(如用“我的自行车”和“你的汽车”比速度,需用代词代替重复的名词)。
❌ 错误:My bike is not as fast as your car.(逻辑可接受,但更简洁的表达是:My bike is not as fast as yours.)
✅ 正确:My bike is not as fast as yours.(yours = your bike)
"not as…as"是英语中最常用的否定同级比较结构,核心是“前者不如后者”。只要记住“原级+比较对象一致”的规则,就能轻松使用啦!
