The cake I had yesterday was good， but this one is still better. 我昨天吃的蛋糕很棒，但这个蛋糕更好吃呢！
Don’t go by train. It’s a lot more expensive. 不要坐火车去。那样花费要多得多。
Everything was a great deal simpler many years ago. 许多年前，样样事情都要简单得多。
Six inches of snow fell today， and quite a bit more is coming tonight. 今天下了六英寸深的雪，今晚还有相当多雪要下。
“Is he any better this morning？” “No， he’s no better.”“他今早好一些了吗？”“没有，比以前没有好多少。”

二、最高级的常见修饰语

Of the three boys Nick is by no means the cleverest. 这三个男孩中，尼克决不是最聪明的。
注意：very 不能修饰比较级，却可修饰最高级，但它与一般的修饰最高级的副词有所不同，即它要放在最高级前定冠词之后。如：
I want to give my children the very best education I can afford. 我想给我孩子力所能及的最良好的教育。
另外，second， third， next 等也要放在定冠词之后。如：
The Yellow River is the second longest in China. 黄河是中国的第二大河。
This is the third largest building in this city. 这是这个城市里第三大的建筑物。
