University of Michigan Flint 钟研 * Lesson 11 Dialogue 1 Grammar UM Flint 钟研 Comparative Sentences with 比 (bǐ) Specifi c comparison of two entities is usually expressed with the basic pattern: A + 比 (bǐ) + B + Adj There are two ways in which the basic comparative construction may be further modified: a) by adding a modifying expression after the adjective: A + 比 (bǐ) + B + Adj + 一点儿/得多/多了 (yì diǎnr/de duō/duō le) A + 比 (bǐ) + B + Adj 李友比她大姐高。 Lǐ Yǒu bǐ tā dàjiě gāo. Li You is taller than her oldest sister. A + 比 (bǐ) + B + Adj 今天比昨天冷。 Jīntiān bǐ zuótiān lěng. Today is colder than yesterday. A + 比 (bǐ) + B + Adj 第十课的语法比第九课的语法容易。 Dì shí kè de yǔfǎ bǐ dì jiǔ kè de yǔfǎ róngyì. Lesson Ten’s grammar is easier than Lesson Nine’s grammar. A + 比 (bǐ) + B + Adj + 一点儿 (yì diǎnr) 今天比昨天冷一点。 Jīntiān b? zuótiān lěng yì diǎn. Today is a bit colder than yesterday. A + 比 (bǐ) + B + Adj 得多 (de duō) 明天会比今天冷得多。 Míngtiān huì b? jīntiān lěng de duō. Tomorrow will be much colder than today. A + 比 (bǐ) + B + Adj + 多了 (duō le) 纽约比这儿冷多了。 Niǔyuē b? zhèr lěng duō le. New York is much colder than here. the modifying expression must be placed after the adjective, not before it. “Much colder” : 冷多了 (lěng duō le) 冷得多 (lěng de duō) not 很冷 (hěn lěng, very cold). A + 比 (bǐ) + B + 更/还 (gèng/hái) + Adj 昨天冷，今天比昨天更冷/今天比昨天还冷。 Zuótiān lěng, jīntiān bǐ zuótiān gèng lěng/jīntiān bǐ zuótiān hái lěng. Yesterday was cold. Today is even colder than yesterday. A 跟/和 B (不)一样 + Adj (A gēn/hé B {bù} yíyàng + Adj) unlike a comparative sentence with 比 (b?), a comparative sentence with 跟 (gēn) or 和 (hé) only indicates whether two things or persons exhibit the same degree of an attribute, without specifying which of the two exhibits it to a greater or lesser degree. A 跟/和 B(A gēn/hé B ) 这个教室和那个教室一样大。 Zhè ge jiàoshì hé nà ge jiàoshì yíyàng dà. This classroom and that classroom a
