有一读者问： 有一道题：
(1)Of the two teachers the lady in green is _____.
A. more patient B. the more patient
答案是B，为什么？
因为the more patient=the more patient one。再如：
(2)He is the taller of the two.
(3)William Pitt the elder was a politician like his son.
有时则用one，如：
(4)Here are two apples: you may take the bigger one.
the more亦可用于副词，如：
(5)Of the two boys John behaves the more politely .
