【问】 farther与further在词义和用法上有什么区别?

 

【答】 farther与further都是形容词和副词far的比较级:

 

far—farther—farthest

 

far—further—furtherst

 

但是它们在词义和用法上却有不小的区别。farther一般只用于表示有形距离的“较远”、“更远”:

 

1. On the farther side of the steet there was a large shop. 在街的那一边有一家大商店。

 

2. We can't go any farther without a rest. 我们不休息就不能再走了。

 

farther既可表示有形距离的“较远”、“更远”(A),还可表示“更多的”;“另一些”;“进一步的”;“而且”;“此外”等等(B):

 

A. 1. There is a cottage on the further side of the hill. 在小山的那一边有一个茅舍。

 

2. It turned out a further distance than he had imagined. 原来距离比他想象的要远。

 

3. It's not safe to go any further. 再往远走,就不安全了。

 

B. 1. Have you any further questions to ask? 你们还有问题要问吗?
