大学英语:One of the longest mountain ranges
11. One of the longest mountain ranges of the world rises from the floor of the Atlantic.
本句中的 longest与课文前几段中出现的narrowest,saltiest,deepest一样,都是形容词的最高级形式。因为这几个词是单音节词或是以元音结尾的双音节词,所以,最高级的构成是在词尾加-est。对于大部分两个音节以上的形容词,最高级的构成是在形容词前面加most。请看例句:
1) He wants to make everybody believe that he is the happiest person in the world.
(他想使每一个人相信他是世界上最幸福的人。)
2) This is the strongest horse I have ever seen.(这是我所见过的最强壮的马。)
3) The boss wanted to find the most careful employees.(老板想找最细心的雇工。)
4) 黄山是我所知道的最美的山之一。
(Yellow Mountain is one of the most beautiful mountains I have ever known.)
5) 这条高速公路是中国最长的。(This express way is one of the longest in China. )
6) 这本书是三本书中最有意思的。(This book is the most interesting of the three.)
rise 是一个不及物动词,在句子中的意思是"升起;隆起"。例如:
1) The sun rises in the east.(太阳在东方升起。)
2) Give the child some medicine, his temperature is rising. (给孩子服药,他的体温在升高。)
3) The mountain peak rises above the clouds.(山峰高耸入云。)
请注意区别以下动词:
1) rise 不及物动词 (起立;上升,高耸;浮现)
The old lady rose to her feet when she heard the doorbell.
The tower rises to a height of 70 feet.
An idea rises in my mind.
2) raise 及物动词 (举起;养育;提高;召集)
If you have any questions, please raise your hands.
