"the more..., the more..."句型常表示"越……就越……",是一个复合句,其中前面的句子是状语从句,后面的句子是主句。the用在形容词或副词的比较级前,more代表形容词或副词的比较级。所以在这里小编就给大家介绍下GMAT语法the more...the more的用法说明。
GMAT语法大百科每日语法点：the more...the more的用法说明
the more...the more...结构其实是一个从句+主句的结构:
1. 第一个the more...相当于一个原因状语从句, 是从省略了表示原因的连词as等进化而来的(也可理解成是省略了if的条件状语从句); 第二个the more...引导的是主句.
eg.As a mammal's skin is thicker(从句), it has less hair(主句). 转换为:
The thicker a mammal's skin is(从句), , the less hair it has(主句).
2.两个the都是副词(而非冠词), 表示程度并修饰后面的形容词比较级. (前后两个the的意思在 韦氏字典解为: the: adv. 2 a : to what extent b : to that extent )
the more...the more...结构的三个原则
1. the more后面的名词必须使用冠词或所有格.
如the more the children..., the greater their ...
2. 后面的谓语如果是be动词的话, 可以省略, 这一点对于前后两个都适用. (特别当主谓语时it is时, 常同时省略.)
eg.What size box do you want?---The bigger, the better. 就是的The bigger it is, the better it is的省略结构. 上面的252题the greater...引出的主句显然省略了Be动词is, 表语是greater, 提到句首加副词the表示程度, 构成并列的
3. 第二个the more后面可以使用倒装, 而第一个后面却不行. (因为只有主句才能倒装,从句绝不能倒装! 如果继续深究第二个the more后面什么时候用倒装时, 可认为如果主语长,谓语动词短时, 为避免头重脚轻, 主谓语倒装.
