是a better voice还是the better voice
请看下面一道题:
How beautifully she sings! I have never heard _________ voice.
A.a better B. a best
C.the better D. the best
【分析】此题容易误选D,认为最高级前用定冠词才是最佳的。其实此题最佳答案为A,该句可视为是下面这句的省略形式:…I have never heard a better voice than her voice. 全句句意为“她唱得多好啊!我从未听过她这么好的声音”。请再看以下类似的实例:He is fine, never better. 他很好,比以往任何时候都好。
I've never seen a finer bird. 我从未见过比这更美的鸟(即这是我见过的最美的鸟)。
I’ve never found a better job. 这是我找到的最好的工作。
比较以下试题,情形也大致相同:
(1) Boris has brains. In fact, I doubt whether anyone in the class has _________IQ.
A. a high B. a higher
C.the higher D. the highest
答案选B,句意为“……我怀疑班上有没有哪个人比他智商更高”,即“我认为他可能是班上智商最高的”。
(2) “Are you satisfied with his answer?” “Not at all. It couldn’t have been _________.”
A.better B.worse
C.more D. less
【分析】此题最佳答案为B,关键是要理解 Not at all 的意思。根据上文语境,Not at all 为 I am not satisfied at all with his answer. 之省略,即表示“我对他的回答一点也不满意”,既然如此,他的回答当然会是 couldn’t have been worse(不可能更糟)。
