注意：quite 也可修饰比较级，表示“……得多”，但该比较级通常只限于 better。如：

3. 比较级前可用even, still修饰，表示“更……”。如：

It was even colder than yesterday. 今天比昨天还要冷。

4. as…as 结构前可用 almost, exactly, half, just, nearly, quite, …times, twice等修饰，表示程度。如：

6. 当形容词比较等级修饰名词作定语时，其前通常加冠词(特指用定冠词，泛指用不定冠词)；另外，有时要表示两者之中的较为突出者(通常有 of the two 结构)，此时要在比较级前使用定冠词。如：
