1. 表示两者之中“较...”，用the+比较级+of the two。

I’ll give you the bigger of the two steaks; I’m not very hungry.

我要把这块比较大的牛排给你，我不怎么饿。

2. 定冠词或指示形容词+比较级+名词表示比较。

The taller man is the boss of the restaurant and the shorter one is his brother.

那个身材较高的男人是餐馆老板。较矮的那位是他弟弟。

3. 有少数以-ior结尾的属于拉丁语的形容词，如inferior(次于), junior(年幼的;下级的), posterior(之后), prior(之前), senior(年长的,上级的), superior(优于)等本身就有比较的意思，后面不接 than，常与介系词to连用，后面用宾格。

I am two years junior to you.

我比你小两岁。

该句相当于?

I am two years your junior.

I am your junior by two years.

I am two years younger than you (are).

类似结构还有?

be senior to(年长于)+宾格 ?be older than+主格

be superior to(优于)+宾格 ?be better than+主格

be inferior to(劣于)+宾格 ?be worse than+主格

4. 比较形容词可以被修饰语如a little(一点), much(得多), even(更加), still(更加), far(...得多), very much, any, no, rather, a lot (a great deal), a little (a bit)等修饰，但不可用very修饰，表示某种程度。

The sun is a lot bigger and brighter than the moon.

太阳比月亮大得多、亮得多。
