# 第一册 Lesson 107 It's too small 太小了

## 一、课文原文

ASSISTANT: Do you like this dress, madam?

LADY: I like the colour very much. It's a lovely dress, but it's too small for me.

ASSISTANT: What about this one? It's a lovely dress. It's very smart. Short skirts are in fashion now. Would you like to try it?

LADY: All right.

LADY: I'm afraid this green dress is too small for me as well. It's smaller than the blue one. I don't like the colour either. It doesn't suit me at all. I think the blue dress is prettier.

LADY: Could you show me another blue dress? I want a dress like that one, but it must be my size.

ASSISTANT: I'm afraid I haven't got a larger dress. This is the largest dress in the shop.

## 三、语法知识点

### 形容词的比较级和最高级

**规则变化**：

| 类型 | 构成方式 | 原级 | 比较级 | 最高级 |
|------|---------|------|--------|--------|
| 一般单音节词 | 加 -er / -est | small | smaller | smallest |
| 以e结尾 | 加 -r / -st | large | larger | largest |
| 辅音+y结尾 | 变y为i加-er/-est | pretty | prettier | prettiest |
| 重读闭音节 | 双写辅音加-er/-est | big | bigger | biggest |

**比较级基本句型**：

| 句型 | 例句 | 含义 |
|------|------|------|
| A is + 比较级 + than + B | It's smaller than the blue one. | 它比蓝色的那件小。 |
| A is + the + 最高级 + 范围 | This is the largest dress in the shop. | 这是店里最大的裙子。 |

**as well, too, either 的区别**：

| 词 | 用法 | 例句 |
|----|------|------|
| as well | 肯定句末 | It's too small for me as well. |
| too | 肯定句末 | I like it too. |
| either | 否定句末 | I don't like it either. |

## 四、重点句型分析

### 1. It's too small for me. 对我来说太小了。

> It's a lovely dress, but it's too small for me.

- too + adj. + for sb. 太……（对某人而言）

### 2. What about this one? 这件怎么样？

> What about this one?

- What about + 名词/动名词，用于提建议
- = How about...?

### 3. It's smaller than the blue one. 它比蓝色的那件小。

> It's smaller than the blue one.

- 比较级 + than + 比较对象
- the blue one 中 one 替代 dress，避免重复

### 4. This is the largest dress in the shop. 这是店里最大的裙子。

> This is the largest dress in the shop.

- the + 最高级 + 表示范围的短语
- in the shop 表示比较范围

### 5. It doesn't suit me at all. 这完全不适合我。

> It doesn't suit me at all.

- not... at all 完全不
- suit 适合（指颜色、款式等）

## 五、课文翻译

售货员：夫人，您喜欢这件衣服吗？

女士：我很喜欢这颜色。这是件漂亮的衣服，可是对我来说太小了。

售货员：这件怎么样？这是件漂亮的衣服。很时髦。短裙现在很流行。您想试一试吗？

女士：好吧。

女士：恐怕这件绿色的裙子对我来说也太小了。它比那件蓝色的还要小。我也不喜欢这种颜色。这颜色我穿根本不合适。我觉得那件蓝色的更漂亮。

女士：您能给我看另一件蓝色的裙子吗？我想要一件那样的裙子，但必须是我的尺码。

售货员：恐怕我没有更大尺码的裙子了。这是店里最大的裙子了。

## 六、语言点精讲

1. **in fashion 流行**：fashion 常用于描述服装、潮流。in fashion 正在流行，out of fashion 过时，fashionable 时髦的。

2. **as well 与 either**：as well 用于肯定句末，either 用于否定句末。本课两个词同时出现：
   - "too small for me as well"（肯定句：也太小了）
   - "don't like the colour either"（否定句：也不喜欢）

3. **not... at all 完全不**：加强否定的语气。"It doesn't suit me at all." 完全不适合我。类似用法：I don't know at all. 我完全不知道。

4. **one 替代词**：the blue one 中 one 替代前面提到的 dress，避免重复。one 只替代可数名词单数，复数用 ones。

5. **would like to do sth.**：Would you like to try it? 您想试试吗？比 Do you want to try it? 更礼貌。

## 七、课后练习要点

1. 掌握形容词比较级和最高级的规则变化
2. 熟练使用 比较级 + than 和 the + 最高级 结构
3. 区分 as well, too, either 的用法
4. 掌握 not... at all 加强否定的用法
5. 练习 one 作为替代词的用法
