The One, it's probably the best book I've read in a while.

一號》，這大概是我這段時間以來讀到的最好的書了。

Hi. James from engVid.

嗨，我是engVid的James

Today I want to talk to you about, funny enough, The One.

今天我想跟大家說說，有趣的是，那個人。

And why I say: "The One" is usually when we talk about superlatives and comparatives,

而我為什麼說。"The One "通常是在我們談及上位詞和比較詞的時候。

the number one comes up quite often.

一號人物經常出現。

And, now, I'm not going to do your standard lesson on what the comparative is and the

而且，現在，我不打算做你的標準課程 關於什麼是比較和

superlative is; you probably are aware of this, but I would like to point out five exceptions

上級是；你可能知道這一點，但我想指出五個例外情況

to the general rules.

到一般規則。

So, I'm going to quickly go over the difference between comparative and superlative, and then

所以，我要快速地介紹一下比較級和超級的區別，然後是

go into the exceptions.

進入例外情況。

Are you ready?

你準備好了嗎？

Let's go to the board.

我們去董事會吧。

So, E, you got my five for me.

所以，E，你得到了我的五。

Cool.

爽啊

You're going to notice on the board I have the number "1" written out repetitively.

你會發現在黑板上，我重複寫出了數字 "1"。

There's a reason for it, and we'll get into it.

這是有原因的，我們將進入它。

But let's start looking at: What is a "superlative"?

但我們先來看一下。什麼是 "極品"？

I like to look at superlative as in Superman.

我喜歡看超等的，如超人。

Superman is the best, the strongest, the fastest, la, la, la - number one.

超人是最好的，最強的，最快的，啦，啦，啦--第一。

So, when you think of a superlative, think of the highest or the best amount.

所以，當你想到一個超值的東西時，要想到最高或最好的量。

Or, because it's extreme, it could be the worst.

或者，因為是極端的，所以可能是最糟糕的。

Now, I've used a couple of them already, but we're going to go to the board and get a little

現在，我已經用了幾個了，但我們要去板子上找一點。

deeper into them.

深入其中。

So, it could be number one at the top or number one at the bottom.

所以，它可能是上榜第一，也可能是下榜第一。

Okay?

好嗎？

"Comparative" is when we look at two things and we want to say there's a difference between

"比較 "是指我們看兩樣東西，想說兩者之間有什麼不同

them.

他們。

"He is bigger than she is" or "James is bigger than Mr. E" - comparing the two.

"他比她大 "或 "詹姆斯比E先生大"--將兩者進行比較。

So, with a comparative, you generally find that we add "er" to the end of the word to

所以，有了比較詞，你一般會發現，我們在詞尾加 "呃"，是為了

tell you that something is being compared to something else.

告訴你，有些東西被比作其他東西。

Okay?

好嗎？

Comparative, and you'll see "er": "bigger", "smaller", "smarter", "taller".

比較，你會看到 "呃"。"更大"，"更小"，"更聰明"，"更高"。

Cool?

酷嗎？

We got that.

我們知道了。

And with a superlative, we add usually "est".

而對於上位詞，我們通常加 "est"。

Right?

對吧？

And the "est" is for the "biggest", "strongest", "longest", "fastest", and it will be the number

而 "est "是指 "最大"、"最強"、"最長"、"最快"，它將是數

one in its category.

在其類別中的一個。

And remember what I said: It could be the number one as in the best, like the best one

記住我說的話。它可能是最好的第一，就像最好的那一個

position, or in the lowest position number one.

位，或在最低的位置一號。

Are you ready?

你準備好了嗎？

So let's go to the board and find out what our exceptions are.

所以，讓我們到董事會去看看我們的例外情況是什麼。

You might be surprised, but they're actually quite often used, and actually quite often

你可能會感到驚訝，但其實它們的使用頻率很高，其實很常

misunderstood.

被誤解了。

So, the first one we're going to look at is the "best".

所以，我們首先要看的是 "最佳"。

If you're from Japan, it's "ichiban"; if you're from Mexico or not even Mexico, any Latino

如果你是日本人，那就是 "ichiban"；如果你是墨西哥人，甚至不是墨西哥人，任何一個拉丁人

country, it's "numero uno" or we say "number one".

國家，是 "numero uno"，或者我們說 "第一"。

That's what the best is.

這才是最好的。

Kind of simple, right?

有點簡單，對吧？

And we know what "good" is, because what's the opposite of "good"?

而且我們知道什麼是 "好"，因為 "好 "的反面是什麼？

"Bad".

"壞"。

"Good" is something we like.

"好 "是我們喜歡的東西。

Now, why this is an exception is because usually, if you remember rightly, when I said "biggest",

現在，為什麼這是一個例外，因為通常情況下，如果你沒有記錯的話，當我說 "最大 "的時候。

we start with "big" and we go to "biggest", and we go "bigger".

我們從 "大 "開始，到 "最大"，再到 "更大"。

So, we use the root word and we just add the "er" or the "est".

所以，我們用詞根，只需加上 "er "或 "est "即可。

But when we look over here, if you look at my chart, increasing-meaning it's getting

但當我們看這裡，如果你看我的圖表，增加 - 意味著它越來越多的

better-there's an improvement going on - we start with the word "good".

better-there's an improvement going on-we start with the word of "good".

That has nothing to do with the word "best".

這與 "最佳 "二字毫無關係。

Very different.

非常不同。

And this is why it's an exception; it doesn't follow the rule of: Take the root word and

這就是為什麼它是個例外，它不遵循規則的原因。取詞根詞綴

add "er" or "est".

加 "er "或 "est"。

It's a completely different word, but they are related in we say something starts off

這是一個完全不同的詞，但他們是相關的，因為我們說的東西開始。

"good" - something you like, like 70%...

"好"--你喜歡的東西，比如70%... ...

75% on a test is good.

75%的考試成績是不錯的。

It's not great, but it's good, right?

雖然不是很好，但也算不錯了吧？

Or 80%.

或80%。

"Better", and this is where we talk about the improvement; "er" means a comparative...

"更好"，這裡說的是改進；"爾 "是指比較...

A comparison, and we're looking at two different things and comparing them; while "good" is

比較，我們看的是兩種不同的東西，進行比較；而 "好 "則是

75%, "better" than that is 90%.

75%，"比這更好 "的是90%。

There's a difference between the two numbers; it's an improvement or an increase.

這兩個數字是有區別的，是提高還是增加。

But the "best" would be 100%.

但 "最好 "將是100%。

Right?

對吧？

See, if you get 100%, you can't get much better than 100%, and we say that's the "best".

你看，如果你能做到100%，你就不會比100%好到哪裡去，我們說這就是 "最好"。

Now, these numbers aren't real.

現在，這些數字不是真的。

I'm not saying each number corresponds to these things, but what I'm trying to give

我並不是說每個數字都對應這些東西，但我想說的是... ...

you an idea is how they're related.

你的想法是如何他們的關係。

"Good", we like "good"; but what's better than good is something "better", or more,

"好"，我們喜歡 "好"；但比 "好 "更好的是 "更好 "的東西，或者更多。

or increase; and the "best" is number one, just like The One, my book.

或增加；而 "最好的 "是第一，就像《一》，我的書。

Now, on that scale, this is good.

現在，在這個尺度上，這是好的。

Think of an angel.

想到一個天使。

Right?

對吧？

"Good", "better", "best".

"好"、"更好"、"最好"。

Love you, love you, love you - angels.

愛你，愛你，愛你--天使。

Now, let's talk about the opposite.

現在，我們來談談反面的問題。

It's my little devil; you got to have a devil.

這是我的小魔頭，你得有個魔頭。

So, "good" is good, so "bad", it's got to be the opposite.

所以，"好 "是好，那麼 "壞"，就得反過來。

And, once again, we talked about the exception for the comparatives and superlative rule

而且，我們再一次談到了比較法和超綱法的例外情況

simply because "bad" and "worst" are not words that go together; they have no root.

只是因為 "壞 "和 "最壞 "不是一個詞，它們沒有根。

The only thing that joins them together is this word here, and even still, you can't

唯一能把它們聯繫在一起的就是這裡的這個詞，即使如此，你也不能... ...

see how you go from here to here.

看你如何從這裡到這裡。

That's what the problem is because students will go: "Teacher, why is it 'worst'?

這就是問題所在，因為學生會走。"老師，為什麼是'最差'？

Why is it 'bad' and 'worse'?

為什麼是 "壞 "和 "更壞"？

Why is it not 'bad', and 'badder', and 'baddest'?"

為什麼不是'壞'，而且是'更壞'、'最壞'？"

Right?

對吧？

But these are the way we compare it in English.

但這些都是我們在英語中的比較方式。

So, "bad"...

所以，"壞"...

If you had a test and you got 49%, you didn't quite pass, that would be pretty bad.

如果你有一次考試，你考了49%，你沒有完全通過，那就很糟糕了。

Right?

對吧？

See, you wouldn't know what to say, that's why my little guy has no mouth.

你看，你就不知道該說什麼了，所以我的小傢伙才沒有嘴。

He's just like: "I don't know.

他只是喜歡，"我不知道。

This is bad."

這是很糟糕的。"

All right?

好嗎？

But "worse" than that would be 39.

但比這更 "糟糕 "的是39。

And if you notice, it's the complete opposite of when we talk about "good", "better", "best"

如果你注意到，它是完全相反的 當我們談論 "好"，"更好"，"最好的"

where the arrow is going up for improvement.

箭在弦上的改進之處。

This is a decrease in...

這是一個減少...

Well, I wouldn't say "decrease".

好吧，我不會說 "減少"。

This is...

這是...

I'm going to say de-evolution, which is a big word, but we're declining.

我想說的是去進化，這是一個大詞，但我們正在衰退。

Okay?

好嗎？

We're going down from the condition of what would be it's not so good, we're going to

我們要從什麼條件下會是它不是那麼好，我們要去。

something worse that's...

更糟糕的事情是

I like even less, and then when we say "worst", it's the number one.

我更不喜歡，然後我們說 "最差 "的時候，它是第一。

You notice here I said: "1,000,000,000 last".

你注意到這裡我說："最後一百萬"。

Crazy, right?

瘋了吧？

What's 1,000,000,000?

100萬是多少？

Or, you know what?

或者，你知道嗎？

Let's say this.

這樣說吧

Let's say 7,000,000,000 last.

比方說，最後的700萬，000萬。

There's only 7 billion people on the planet, and if you're number 7 billion, you are the

地球上只有70億人，如果你是70億人，你就是... ...

worst.

最差的。

So, "worst"...

所以，"最差"...

We got...

我們有...

Sorry, we had "bad", we go to "worst", which is the exact opposite of "good" to "best".

對不起，我們有 "壞"，我們去 "最壞"，這與 "好 "與 "最好 "完全相反。

Cool?

酷嗎？

And you have my little devil is showing you that.

而你有我的小惡魔正在向你展示。

This is the angelic way, you're going up; and the devil goes down.

這就是天使之道，你要上去，魔鬼要下去。

All right?

好嗎？

So, I compare these two.

所以，我比較了這兩個。

Now, let's look at the two other variables I talk are similar, yet opposites once again.

現在，我們再來看看我說的另外兩個變量是相似的，但又是對立的。

On this side we're going to talk about "many", "more", and "most".

在這邊我們要講的是 "多"、"多"、"最"。

Okay?

好嗎？

The only thing they have in common is they all start with "m".

它們唯一的共同點就是都是以 "m "開頭。

Right?

對吧？

So, if you have a lot of something, you say: "I have many friends", "I have many good books",

所以，如果你有很多東西，你就說。"我有很多朋友"，"我有很多好書"。

"I've been to many places".

"我去過很多地方"。

Right?

對吧？

And we mean "a lot"; it's more than one, two, or three.

而且我們指的是 "很多"，它不止是一個、兩個、三個。

But when we say "more", if anything is...

但當我們說 "更 "的時候，如果有什麼... ...

Remember we talked about there's an "er"?

還記得我們說過有一個 "呃 "嗎？

It's almost here that we have the "er" reversed.

幾乎是在這裡，我們把 "爾 "反過來了。

It's there, but it's reversed.

它在那裡，但它是反向的。

So, we have the "er" for the comparative, and it means there's an addition or an increase

所以，我們用 "爾 "來作比較，就表示有加法或增法。

from what our "many" is, so there's "more".

從我們的 "多 "是什麼，所以有 "多"。

So, we have many, we know this, but I even have more than that.

所以，我們有很多，我們知道這些，但我甚至有更多的。

"Many more experiences", so there's an addition or an increase on our "many".

"多了許多經驗"，所以在我們的 "多 "上有了增加或提高。

So that shows the difference in a comparison between what we have and what a difference

所以，這就說明了我們所擁有的東西和不同的一個比較中的區別

is in a scale that's actually going up.

是在一個規模，實際上是在上升。

All right?

好嗎？

You might see, when you look here and here, there is something that they have in common,

你可能會發現，當你看這裡和這裡的時候，它們有一些共同點。

in which there's something better or increase, or we think a greater amount going on.

在其中有更好的東西或增加，或我們認為更大的量去。

When we talk about the "most", once again, we have that number one because it's the greatest

當我們說到 "最 "的時候，我們又一次有了這個數字，因為它是最大的

amount; there is not more than that.

量；沒有超過這個量。

"I have the most of this" - it means if there is...

"我有這個最"--意思是如果有... ...

Let's give an example.

我們舉個例子。

100th objects, if I have 90, it doesn't mean I have to have 100%, but I have most of it;

第100個對象，如果我有90個，不代表我必須有100%，但我有大部分。

there's only 10% left over for somebody else or something else.

只有10%的餘款留給別人或其他東西。

Yeah?

是嗎？

Okay?

好嗎？

So, when we talk about the "most", don't confuse it with being 100%.

所以，當我們說到 "最 "的時候，不要把它和100%混為一談。

Even when we say the "best", the best is number one.

即使我們說 "最好"，最好也是第一。

When we say here, the "most", it's not exactly equivalent.

我們這裡說的 "最"，並不完全等同。

It means the most...

這意味著最...

You can have the most at 60%; that's more than 40%.

你可以在60%的時候擁有最多的，那就是超過40%。

Cool?

酷嗎？

All right.

好吧，我知道了

So, let's do the opposite of that, because now we have an understanding of what "many"

那麼，讓我們反其道而行之，因為現在我們已經瞭解了什麼是 "很多"

is, "more" than that is, and the "most" - what would be the complete opposite?

是，"多 "比這是，而 "最"--什麼會是完全相反的呢？

Well, let's go literally to the complete opposite.

那麼，讓我們從字面上去完全相反。

If "most" is number one like you have the most, "least" could be just one.

如果說 "最 "是第一，比如你的最多，那麼 "最少 "可能只是一個。

It means the smallest amount you can have of something.

它的意思是你能擁有的最小數量的東西。

"I have the least amount of money."

"我的錢最少。"

So, if we have three friends, and one friend has $10, another friend has $5, and I have

所以，如果我們有三個朋友，一個朋友有10塊錢，另一個朋友有5塊錢，而我有。

$1, I have the least amount.

1元，我的金額最少。

It doesn't mean one, because I could even say I could have $2, which is not 1, but it's

它不代表1，因為我甚至可以說我可以有2元，這不是1，但它是。

still the lowest of everything else.

還是其他一切事物中最低的。

I'm very limited in what I have.

我擁有的東西很有限。

Now, I started at the bottom; it might have been better if I started at the top, because

現在，我從底層開始；如果我從頂層開始，可能會更好，因為

when we say "less", we say: "little", "less", and "least".

當我們說 "少"，我們說，"少"，"少"，"最少"。

Well, "less" is actually what we call a reduced amount.

嗯，"少 "其實就是我們所說的減量。

When we talked about "more", we talked about increasing; when we talk about "less", we

我們講 "多 "的時候，講的是增加；講 "少 "的時候，講的是

talk about reducing.

說到減少。

"I have less than you."

"我的錢比你少。"

So, in this case, and this is really bizarre because there's no "er", there's nothing to

所以，在這種情況下，這真的很奇怪，因為沒有 "呃"，沒有什麼可以

say what the comparative is.

說什麼比較。

Like I said here, you can look here and say: "Okay, at least it's there; it's hidden, it's

就像我在這裡說的，你可以看這裡說，"好吧，至少它在那裡，它是隱藏的，它是... ...

changed, it's disguised."

變了，這是變相的。"

But here it's nothing; it's just "less".

但在這裡什麼都沒有，只是 "少了 "而已。

But we have to understand...

但我們要明白...

Well, if I went here and said: "Well, there's a commonality here - everything starts with

好吧，如果我在這裡說，"好吧，這裡有一個共同點 -- 一切都從

'l'".

'l'".

"Less" means there's 5.

"少 "就是有5。

And what's less than 5?

那什麼是小於5的呢？

I would say 3.

我會說3。

And we're saying, by comparison, this is not the same as this.

而我們說，相比之下，這個和這個是不一樣的。

There's a reduction or there's a reduced amount.

有減無增，或者有減無增。

Now, we're going to go to "little" because I told you I'm going backwards from "most"

現在，我們要去 "小"，因為我告訴你，我從 "大多數 "開始倒退。

to "least".

到 "最少"。

And when we go in the middle: "not much".

而當我們走在中間的時候。"不多"。

Not much.

不多

I was using the example of money, so I'll say that again.

我是用錢的例子，所以我再說一遍。

I'll use it again.

我還會用它。

If you had $3, would you call that a lot of money?

如果你有3元錢，你會說這是很多錢嗎？

Probably not.

可能不會

You'd probably say it's a "little" money.

你大概會說這是個 "小 "錢。

And you can see here, I don't have much here.

你可以看到這裡，我這裡的東西不多。

I have, like, you know, maybe 20 little...

我有一樣，你知道，也許20小... ...

Sorry.

對不起，我不知道

10 little things here.

這裡有10件小事。

Compare it up to here, like there's 20, that's a little by comparison.

比較到這裡，像有20個，那就比較一下。

Now, continuing here, reduced, I've gone from maybe 10-15 down to 5, and at the "least"

現在，繼續在這裡，減少，我已經從也許10-15個減少到5個，而且 "最少"。

I only have 1.

我只有一個。

Cool?

酷嗎？

Great.

厲害

So, I'm going to take this lesson a little bit further and show you the last one of the

所以，我要把這節課再往前上一點，給大家看一下最後一箇中的

five.

五、

Because we've done one, two, three, and four.

因為我們已經做了一二三四。

Quickly, we know what the difference between "good", "better", "best"; "bad", "worse",

很快，我們就知道了 "好"、"更好"、"最好"；"壞"、"更壞 "的區別。

"worst" - I love all this alliteration; words that kind of rhyme...

"最糟糕的"--我喜歡這些重音，那些押韻的詞... ...

Not rhyme, but go together because of the beginning words.

不押韻，但因為開頭的字而走在一起。

"Most", "more", "many"; "little", "less", "least"; and finally, to take it to the furthest

"最"、"多"、"多"；"少"、"少"、"最少"；最後，將其發揮到極致。

realm I can go, let's talk about distance.
