有一读者问: 有这样一道选择题:
(1)Her second husband was quite_________her first.
A. too rich to B. rich enough to
C. as rich as D. richer than
有人认为应选B, 有人则认为应选 D。请问你们的意见呢?
选B 和选D 都不对。选B之所以不对是因为 quite rich enough to 后须接一动词原形,不可后接名词词组 her first (husband)。 选D之所以不对是因为 quite一般不用以修饰比较级。那么应选什么呢?应选 C。 副词 quite 常可用以修饰 as...as 结构,再如:
(2)It is quite as good as he hoped.
(3)She hasn't been quite as unlucky as she pretends.
