l Further notes on one text
1. a ten-pound note 一张十镑的纸币,像这种有以连字符的合成形容词,没有复数,且一般只做定语,而不做表语。在NCE1中有如下单词。
hard-working adj.勤奋的 next-door adj.隔壁的 four-year-old adj.四岁的
2. None of our passenger 在我们乘客之中没有。这个用法和Some of them; one of them是一样的。
l Expressions
1. as...as/ not as/so…as 像…一样;不像…一样
The green apple is as sweet as the red one.

2. 多音节形容词或副词的比较级

注意less/the lease的形式
This book is interesting.

3. no, not, none与not…any
none是一个代词,意思为一个都没有。能独立构成句子的成分,不能直接做定语(修饰名词使用)。如果修饰名词,则用none of,比如课文中。
None of our passengers can change this note.
我们之中没有人能兑开这张纸币。
no是一个形容词,用来修饰名词。起强调作用。= not…any
I’ve not got any small change. = I’ve got no small change.
我没有任何的零钱。
not 一个最基础的购成否定句的简单副词。
以下三者的用法相似:
I have got some envelopes.
I haven’t got any envelopes.
I have got on envelopes.
I’ve got none.
