HSK 2Lesson 12
Comparisons with "比" (2)
结构Pattern
A比 / 没有B(还)形容词 Adj.
今天比昨天还冷
弟弟比我还高
北京没有我家那儿热
学校没有医院近
解释Explanation

在"A 比 B + 形容词"里,可以在形容词前面加"更"或者"还",意思是 B 已经很怎么样了,A 比 B 程度更高。"还"的语气比"更"强,常常带有意外的感觉。否定比较常用"A 没有 B + 形容词",意思是 A 不如 B。

In "A 比 B + adjective" you can put 更 (gèng) or 还 (hái) before the adjective to mean "even more": B is already quite something, and A goes further. 还 is a bit stronger and often sounds surprised: 他还比我高呢!"He's even taller than me!" (Remember: never 很 here.) To say A is not as ... as B, use "A 没有 B + adjective": 北京没有我家那儿热 "Beijing isn't as hot as my hometown."
