of a man outraged.
2) former, latter, elder等形容词, 词尾虽然是比较级形式, 但它们永远不用于比较句中, 也不能跟than, 如: He

3) 等差既可以指出相差的数目, (用by+数词表示) 也可以指出相差的范围, 如: of +名词, with regard to, in point
of, with respect to, with reference to, with relation to, in the sphere of, in the field of等等。例句: She is the more patient of the two. In point of commerce, Shanghai is more prosperous than Nanjing. With reference to territory, China is larger than America.
4) 有些语句的词序变动较大阅读和翻译时要弄清其结构。如:Easier said than done. (=It is easier to be said than
