most , a ~: the ~ --669 1a. 副词 most 加饰了不定冠词 a ,作“很”讲,相当于 very 的意思,它所修饰的形容词总是带有感情色彩的;加饰了定冠词 the ,便构成最高级形式了。 例如: The meeting proceeded in a most friendly atmosphere. 会议是在极其友好的气氛中进行的。 Which is the most comfortable hotel in this town? 本市哪一家旅馆最讲究? 比较: It is a most stupid thing to say. 谈起此事真是无聊。 ( a most 作“很”讲) It is the most stupid thing to say. 谈起此事最是无聊。 ( the most 是最高级形式) 1b. 对后者来说,如果 most 是用来构成另一个副词最高级形式来修饰动同, the 这个定冠词往往可以省去。 例如: Whatever happens I shall most certainly attend the meeting. 不管发生什么事,我决计要到会。(修饰另一个副词 certainly ) She'll most probably sell the house and go and live with her daughter. 她很可能把房子卖掉去同她女儿一起过日子。(修饰另一个副词 probably )
