在英语学习中,我们经常会遇到worse这个词。表面上看它似乎总在描述不好的事情,但实际上它的用法远比我们想象的丰富有趣。

Worse的基本含义

Worsebad的比较级,意思是"更坏的,更差的"。但它的用法远不止于此。

The weather today is worse than yesterday.

今天的天气比昨天更糟。

His performance was worse than I expected.

他的表现比我预期的更差。

注意worse已经是比较级形式,不需要再加more。说"more worse"是错误的表达。

Worse的特殊用法

除了作为形容词比较级,worse还有一些非常实用的特殊用法:

1. "To make matters worse" 固定搭配

I was late for the meeting, and to make matters worse, I forgot my presentation.

我开会迟到了,更糟的是,我忘了带演示文稿。

2. "For better or worse" 习语

For better or worse, we've decided to move to a new city.

无论好坏,我们已经决定搬到一个新城市。

3. "None the worse for" 表达

He fell off his bike but was none the worse for the accident.

他从自行车上摔下来,但毫发无损。

使用技巧:当你想表达"更糟糕的是..."时,可以灵活使用worse stillwhat's worse来丰富你的表达。

Worse的常见搭配

掌握这些常见搭配,让你的英语更地道:

get worse - 变得更糟

The patient's condition is getting worse.

病人的情况正在恶化。

worse off - 情况更差

After the divorce, she was worse off financially.

离婚后,她的经济状况更差了。

worse than ever - 比以往任何时候都糟

城市的交通比以往任何时候都糟糕。

Worse vs. Worst

不要混淆worseworst

This is bad, that is worse, but the other one is the worst.

这个不好,那个更糟,但另一个是最糟糕的。

记忆技巧worse是比较级(两者比较),worst是最高级(三者或以上比较)。
