学习建议
你上次学习这一课的掌握程度为62%，为了达到更高水平，再强化学习一次。
课程内容
通过本课，你将学习通过形容词比较级的前缀加强或减弱比较语气。
知识点

• Can use ‘much’ to modify and intensify comparative adjectives used attributively before countable and uncountable nouns.
• Can use ‘slightly’ to modify comparative adjectives to a small degree.
• Can use ‘a lot’ to modify and intensify comparative adjectives used predicatively after a verb, usually ‘be’.

接下来，你将收听到的是 Richmond 城市广播的早间节目 Angela Harmon’s Morning Show。请听听这座城市早高峰的交通状况，并且注意节目的语言中，对于形容词比较级的用法。

Ladies and gentlemen, good morning from Richmond City Radio! Welcome to Angela Harmon’s Morning Show. First, let’s start our morning program with some rush hour traffic information.

All subway lines are much more crowded today than yesterday. But fortunately, there haven’t been any major delays.

What is traffic looking like today? Officer Stewart Raymond from the Road Traffic Center is on the line.

Hello, Angela! Hello, Richmond, good morning! All roads are looking alright now except Green Boulevard.

Traffic on Green Boulevard is a lot heavier today because it’s partly closed for roadwork.

If you are going to the city center from South Beach, we suggest you take Riverside Drive instead.

It’s a slightly longer distance, but that route can save you much more time.

Thank you very much for the information, Officer Raymond.

That’s it for this morning’s traffic information. This is Angela Harmon’s Morning Show at Richmond City Radio. Please stay with us for today’s local news.

小试牛刀-Try it out!

Actions are much more powerful than words.

这个句子的正确顺序应该是：

Actions are much more powerful than words.
行动比语言更强大得多。

Much要放在形容词比较级more powerful之前，表示”更强大得多”。我们用 much+形容词比较级这个用法来加强比较的语气，表示”….得多”。

除此之外，我们还可以在口语中用a lot+形容词比较级来表示”….得多”，不过要注意，在a lot+形容词比较级后面，我们-般不加单数可数名词。

下面让我们再来做几道题，熟悉一下这个用法吧。

Doing is much more important than saying.

It is a much longer flight to New York City than to Paris.

She became a lot more mature than the last time I met her.

I only got a slightly higher score than last time.

这个句子的正确顺序应该是：

I only got a slightly higher score than last time.
我只比上一次得到了稍微更高一点的分数。

我们还可以在形容词比较级前加 slightly，表示对于比较程度的弱化。Slightly+形容词比较级表示”稍微更….一点”。

我们再来做几道类似的题目，来巩固一下弱化比较程度的用法吧。

She looks slightly thinner in the picture.

It was actually slightly easier than I thought.

He is wearing something slightly more formal to the conference than last time.

语法解释

今天我们学习用程度限定词+形容词比较级来表示加强或者减弱对比语气。

我们先来回顾一下形容词比较级的基本用法。

形容词变为比较级有在单音节形容词末尾加 er，在多音节形容词前面加 more，和不规则变化三种情况:

• Asia is bigger than Europe.
  亚洲比欧洲更大。
• I want to have a more comfortable room.
  我想要有一个更舒服的房间。
• This patient’s health is getting worse.
  这个病人的健康正在变得更糟。

语法解释

如果想要加强比较语气，我们可以用 much+形容词比较级，表示.….得多”

Our country has become much stronger than it used to be.
我们的国家已经比之前变得强大得多了。

This factory is able to produce much more efficient engines now.
这家工厂现在能生产更加高效得多的引擎了。

我们也能用“a lot+形容词比较级”来表示”…得多”，但是这个结构一般只用在口语表达中。

Oh, Johnny, you’re a lot taller this year than last year!
哦，Johnny，你今年比去年长得高多了！

语法解释

我们也能在形容词比较级前面加表示“稍微”的 slightly，用 slightly+形容词比较级表示减弱比较语气，我们可以翻译为“稍微更….点.”。

Germany is slightly smaller than Japan.
德国比日本稍微小一点。

I only got a slightly better score on this test than last time.
我只在这一次考试中得到了一个比上一次稍微高一点的分数。

语法课-副词修饰不定代词和限定词-新课程

17分钟 169经验值
学习建议
上一课的掌握程度为80%，超越了平均水平，继续学习新课程吧！
课程内容
通过本课，你将学习用副词修饰不定代词和限定词。
知识点
Can use degree adverbs (‘almost,’very’) to modify determiners.
Can use degree adverbs tomodify pronouns.

在本节课中，你将看到主人公分享自己考上世界名校斯坦福大学的故事。请留意句中出现的副词。

Good morning everyone. I’m here to share my experience of getting into Stanford University.

I wasn’t a good student when I started high school. Almost every night, I would go out and play computer games with friends.

I didn’t think that I needed to study hard or get good grades.

Then, in my last year of high school, my grandma passed away.

When I visited her for the last time,she had very little time left.

She told me that I was smart and I should not waste my time. She believed that I could do absolutely anything I want if I work hard towards it.

I felt touched by her words, and remembered them and threw myself into my studies.

Finally, I got an offer from Stanford. Almost nobody believed it, but I knew that I’d been working hard, and my grandma would be proud of me.

小试牛刀-Try it out!

我知道的音乐种类非常少。
I know types of music.
few
very few
very little

这题是考察副词修饰限定词。

在数量限定词之前我们通常可以加上表示程度的副词，用来修饰和限制对应的限定词。

“我知道的音乐种类非常少。这句话中，”音乐的种类”可以用”type of music”来表示，”非常”可以用副词”very”来表示。因为种类type为可数名词，所以”少”则可以用限定词”few”。

所以答案是：I know very few types of music.

再来做几道类似的题目吧！

他们没有什么共同的爱好。
They have .hobbies in common.
very few
very little
little

There are very few (极少的) people here who know how to fix this machine.

我喜欢几乎所有种类的运动
I like nearly all kinds of sports.

这题是考察副词修饰限定词。

“我喜欢几乎所有种类的运动。”这句话中”几乎”可以用副词almost或者nearly来表示，“所有”可以用限定词all来表示。

所以，正确的句子是：I like almost all kinds of sports.或者I like nearly all kinds of sports.

再来做两道类似的题目吧！

几乎所有学生都通过了考试
Almost all the students passed the exam.

Almost all the tickets were sold out with in an hour.

Nearly all the applications were submitted before the deadline.

几乎没有人认识他
Almost no one knows him.

在前面的题目中，正确的答案为：

Almost nobody/no one knows him.
几乎没有人认识他。

我们可以使用副词来修饰不定代词nobody/no one/everybody等等。

再来做几道类似的题目吧！

他知道几乎所有的东西 (everything)
He knows almost everything!

几乎没有人喜欢这部电影
Almost nobody likes this movie.

几乎没有人完成了作业
Almost nobody completed the assignment.

语法解释-Explanation

我们已经学过了如何使用副词修饰限定词。比如:

nearly/almost是”几乎，将近”的意思，通常用来修饰 all, every:

Almost all the eggs were broken.
鸡蛋几乎都破了。

I’ve been out nearly every day this week.
这个星期几乎每天晚上我都外出。

very是”非常”的意思，通常用来修饰few或little，表否定意义:

I have very little money left.
我没剩多少钱了。

Very few people succeed.
几乎没有人成功。

除了修饰限定词之外，副词还可以用来修饰不定代词，比如 anything，everything，nobody 等等。

I feel like my time is going by so fast. Three years now is the same as one year in childhood.

I wish I could live forever.

Who wouldn’t want that?

Since ancient times, emperors have been spending their whole lives looking for immortality pills.

Having eternal life seems to be the be-all and end-all.

But even with today’s technology, that’s still impossible.

Since we can’t turn back the clock, it’s essential that we figure out how to live a good life.

It’s true. Our lifespan is limited. But how we really perceive it can be controlled.

Like,try a few new exciting things.

Good point!That kind of experience usually leaves us with longer memories.

And having a healthy lifestyle also has something to do with longevity.

I heard a centenarian talk about the secrets of long life.

There are four things that play avital role in longevity.

They are food, exercise,rest,and attitude.

Well, I guess I need to improve all those aspects, especially exercise.

口语课-礼貌地提出请求-新课程

课程内容
通过本课，你将学习如何礼貌地提出请求。

How are things so far, Jake?

I like the setting and the atmosphere. Everyone seems so passionate about what they’re doing. But I’m at sea with the company lingo. In today’s meeting, I only got half of what the manager said. Would you have a few minutes to go over the abbreviations with me?

You’re not alone. We have our own ways of referring to products and processes. They confuse almost all newcomers. I’ll send you the webpage which explains the most common terms. That should help on the language front.

Sounds perfect. I’m also having trouble with the video conferencing software. Could you possibly suggest someone I can turn to for help?

The IT department will take care of that. Let me find you the contact details.

Thanks so much.

Glad to help. Give me a shout if you need anything.

You’re not alone. We have our own ways of referring to products and processes.

The IT department will take care of that. Let me find you the contact details.

They confuse almost all newcomers.

Could you possibly suggest someone I can turn to for help?

Glad to help. Give me a shout if you need anything.

提出请求
我们都知道可以用以 can 开头的疑问句来向他人求助(Can you help me?),但在公司里，这样向人提出请求有些过于直接。在这节课里，我们来系统地看一看还有哪些方式，听着更诚恳，更礼貌。

来看以下句型

• Would you … ?
• Could you (possibly/please)… ?
• I would/I’d be (most) grateful if you could/would. .

Would you … ?

在提出请求时，would比 will 更礼貌。我们可以再加上I know you’re busy 等表达，进一步缓和语气。

要注意，虽然 please 听着很客气，但在恳请帮助时，要避免直接用 please +祈使句来表达自己的诉求（比如：Please help me fix the printer）。这样听起来更像是一种命令。

• Would you mind showing me how to book a meeting room for this afternoon?
  你能不能教我怎么预定今天下午的会议室？
• I know you’re busy, but would you be able to take a look at my slides for the product overview?
  我知道你很忙，但你是否能看看我做的产品概述PPT，提提意见？

I’m at sea with the company lingo. In today’s meeting, I only got half of what the manager said. Would you have a few minutes to go over the abbreviations with me?
讲解
Jake 被公司的术语搞得一头雾水，只能用 Would you have a few minutes to do something 的结构，请 Liam 帮 助他熟悉部门”行话”。

Would you be able to print out the price list for me?

Would you mind waiting outside for a minute?

Would you be able to pick up the kids from school tomorrow?

Would you mind watching my bag while I go to the restroom?

Would you be able to reschedule our meeting for next week?

试着礼貌地请I来看看吧
I’m afraid there’s something wrong with my computer.
Would you have a minute to come and take a look?

Could you (possibly/please) .
正如 would 和 will 的差别，用 could 表达请求，也会比用 can 更得体。如果加上 possibly 或者 please，你的请求就会更礼貌。
例如:
Could you possibly give me some advice on time management, please?
是否有可能请你给我提提时间管理上的建议？
Could you please turn off the light when you leave the meeting room?
在离开会议室时，能不能帮忙关一下灯?

I’m also having trouble with the video conferencing software. Could you possibly suggest someone I can turn to for help?
讲解
Jake 在使用视频会议软件时遇到了问题，希望Liam 能告诉他应该找谁帮忙。加上 possibly 会让语气更礼貌。

I know you have a lot on your hands, but could you possibly show me how to connect my laptop to the company Wi-Fi?

Could you possibly spare me a few minutes?

Could you please make two copies of the file?

能搭把手吗？
Could you possibly give me a hand with this heavy box?

能再跟我解释一下吗
Could you possibly explain that concept again? I didn’t
quite understand.

小声些嘛
Could you possibly lower your voice? I’m trying to concentrate.

I would/I’d be (most) grateful if you could/would .

之间的课程中曾提到 grateful 可用来表示感恩，在提出请求时，也可以用上 grateful，意思是”如果对方能怎么做”，我将”感激不尽”。Id be grateful 可出现在句首或句末。

相比”Would/Could you.?”，这种表达更为正式和书面。

例如:

• I would be most grateful if you could help me prepare for the presentation.
  如果你能帮助我准备这次演示，我将感激不尽。
• If you could send me the draft today, I’d be most grateful.
  如果你能在今天把初稿发我，我将感激不尽。

I would be most grateful if you could send me the directions to your office.
讲解
我们可以用以上表达，恳请对方提供交通路线图。这句话也可把I would be most grateful 放在句末，意思不变: If you could send me the directions to your office, I would be most grateful.

I’d be most grateful if you could finish the report by the end of this week.

I would be grateful if you could give me some advise

I’d be grateful if you could give me some advice.

I would be grateful if you could provide some feedback on my presentation.

I would be very grateful if you could give me tour around the museum.

礼貌地请求对方帮助
I’d be most grateful if you could spare a few minutes to talk through the tasks with me.

提出请求
厉害啦，你学习了三种在工作场合提出请求，或寻求帮助的方式。初入职场或进了新公司，总有许多不懂、不熟悉的地方，千万别害羞，用上今天的句型，大胆向同事们求助吧！

下面来巩固一下：

• Would you … ?
• Could you (possibly/please)…
• I would/I’d be (most) grateful if you could/would .

下面，做个综合对话练习吧！

Could you please come and take a look?

怎么说最礼貌？
Would you please print out the product list?
Print out the product list, please.
You can print out the product list, can’t you?
Will you print out the product list?

怎么说最礼貌？
Check the projector settings, please.
Would you please check the projector settings?
You can check the projector settings, can’t you?
Will you check the projector settings?

怎么说最礼貌？
You can finish the analysis, can’t you?
Will you finish the analysis?
Finish the analysis, please.
I would be most grateful if you could finish the analysis.

怎么说最礼貌？
Could you please prepare the agenda for the meeting?
You can prepare the agenda for the meeting, can’t you?
Prepare the agenda for the meeting, please.
Will you prepare the agenda for the meeting?

礼貌地请对方为自己的项目建议书提提意见
I know you have a busy schedule, but would you be able to take a look at my project proposal? I’m sure your suggestions could take it to the next level.

如果你能演示下，我将感激不尽
If you could spare some time to show me how it works, I’d be most grateful.

怎么说最礼貌？
Could you please install the new software?

帮我给我的花浇水
I would be grateful if you could water my plants while I’m away.
