far的用法和考点 far的用法和辨析( 三 ) _far的用法

This is by far the better of the two. [用the+比较级+of这个结构时，即使是比较级也可用by far 。]
3. 陈敦金主编的《英美语惯用法词典》(增订版)(福建教育出版社2002年3月第3版)p449：far 和by far都可以作比较级(用far比较常见)或最高级(用by far比较常见)的强化修饰语，但位置不同。两者均可用于肯定句，不用于否定句。注意下列句子中的far 和by far的位置：
She is (by) far the better actress / the better actress by far / .ar.
This is (by) far the most expensive bicycle in the shop/ the most expensive bicycle in the shop by far / .ar.
4. Morton Benson等著《朗文实用英语词语搭配词典》(上海译文出版社 1996年6月第1版) p443: She is by far the better player.
5. 在The CORPUS OF CONTEMPORAY AMERICAN ENGLISH (1990-2010) (Mark Davies, Brigham Young University) 上共有2066例包含“by far the”的例句，但仅有1例属于by far用于 “… the +比较级+than+ …”句型之中：
2006 Montfleury might be grossly huge and Cyrano as lean as a greyhound, but as celebrities went, Cyrano de Bergerac was by far the larger--larger than Life, in fact.
却有by far用于“… the +比较级+(名词)+(of…)”句型之中的例句：
1990 But Madhya Pradesh, by far the poorer of the two states, …
1991 …the Confederate flag was by far the more beautiful and really meant something important, too.
1992 The Shining Path was by far the greater threat: …
1997 The second part, and by far the harder of the two, is …
1999 Frank Lloyd Wright is by far the better architect, I think, a beautiful architect.
2010 …but that's by far the smaller part of it.
综上所述，“当by far用于修饰比较级且置于其前时，比较级前要用the”指的是by far可以用于“… the +比较级+(名词)+(of…)”句型之中，但不可以用于 “… the +比较级+than+ …”句型之中。
far，farther/farthest和further/furthest区别用法
further，furthest
这两个词同farther/farthest一样，可作表示地点、距离的副词用：
It isn’t safe to go any further/farther in this fog.
在这大雾里再往前走是不安全的。
但它们也可以用于表示抽象的概念：
Mr. A said that these toy pistols should not be on sale.
甲先生说这些玩具手枪不应该出售。
Mr. B went further and said that no toy pistols should be sold.
乙先生更进一步，说所有的玩具手枪都不该出售。
Mr. C went furthest of all and said that no guns of any kind should besold.
丙先生最为激烈，说任何枪都应严禁出售。
关于far的用法限制
far的比较级和最高级用法都比较自由：
He traveled further than we expected.
他比我们预料的去得远。
far的原级形式主要用于表示否定和疑问的词句中：
—How far can you see?
