核心问题
My car is none ____ for the accident.
A. the bad B. much worse C. enough worse D. the worse
请指出正确答案。
词典解答
正确答案为 D。在 none the worse 这个结构里, none 和 the 均为副词, 后面跟形容词的比较级。none the 的含义为: “一点也不”“毫不”(not at all, no, in no degree)。上面的句子可以译为: 我的汽车没有因为这次事故而受到损坏。类例:
-
She is none the happier for her beauty. 她并不因为自己的美貌而感到高兴。
-
