old的比较级的最高级?.

  • elder/older

    这两个词均是old的比较级,在用法上有所区别.elder本身也是形容词.

    elder表示“前辈的”、“年纪较长的”,仅用于同一家庭成员的比较;older则不限于此.例如:

    My younger son is five and my elder son is nine.我的小儿子5岁,大儿子9岁.

    Tom is two years older than I.汤姆比我年长两岁.

    elder在句中只用作定语,不作表语;older两者皆可.例如:

    My elder sister does her homework all by herself. 我的姐姐独自做作业.

    His elder son got married last week. 他的长子是上星期结婚的.

    I think his mother is older. 我认为他的母亲年龄大引起.

    elder只能用来指人;older既可修饰人,也可修饰物.例如:

    My elder brother joined the army when he was only fifteen.我哥哥年仅15负就参了军.

    This dog is older than any other dogs here.这条狗在这里是最老的一条.

    I have a sister older than myself.我有位比我大的姐姐.

    It is said Mr Chen is over ten years older than Mrs Li.据说陈先生比李女士大10多岁.

    elderly是形容词,“较老的”.

    最高级 oldest/eldest
