WhatIsaidisofgreatimportance.=WhatIsaidisveryimportant.第40页可用于以上结构抽象名词及相对应形容词有:ability--able,help--helpful,importance--important,interest--interesting,significance--significant,use--useful,value--valuable.第41页20.superior

作为形容词有两大使用方法：1)作为普通形容词,意为“高傲”。比如：我讨厌他那高傲态度。Ihatehissuperiormanner.2)作为暗含比较级形容词,意为“较高级”、“很好”、“较…为优异”。因为superior本身隐含着比较意义,所以不能在前面再加more。在与另一事物进行比较时,与之搭配介词要用to,不能than。如：约翰逊数学比王先生好。JohnsonissuperiortoMr.Wanginmathematics.第42页与superior使用方法相同词还有inferior,senior,junior,prior等。比…优越,不屈服于besuperiorto低于be
