词语用法

2. further是far的比较级，而farther是further的一个变种，两者之间有一些区别：表示“额外的，增加的，进一步时”further的用法比farther来的普遍，如further delay ,further details等很少用farther。在表示“距离”时，farther的用法比further来的普遍，如the farther side of the river。farther用作动词极不普遍。

adj. (形容词)

1. further是far的比较级形式之一,主要指程度上“进一步”,英式英语中也可表示距离。多用作定语,间或用作表语。

adv. (副词)

1. further是far的比较级形式之一,在句中常用作状语,可修饰动词、副词、介词短语,也可修饰全句。
2. further可用于动词不定式符号to和动词原形之间,即用于修饰分裂不定式。

v. (动词)

1. further作动词时的基本意思是“促进,助长”。

词义辨析

adj. (形容词)

further, farther

• 1.这两个词都是far的比较级,在英式英语中这两个词皆可表示距离,有时可以换用。例如:
• We had to travel farther〔further〕 than I had expected.我们只好走得比我们预计的更远。
• 2.在美式英语中,表示地点上的距离只能用farther,不能用further。
• 3.further可用作抽象含义,用来表示程度和分量,意思是“进一步的”“深层的”“更多的”; 而farther只能表示地点上的具体距离,不能用作抽象含义。
• 4.从词源来看, farther是far的比较级, further是fore或forth的比较级。在现代口语中, farther和further实际上已混用,但further更为人们所采用,而farther有渐趋消亡之势。

v. (动词)

further, advance, promote

• 这三个词的共同意思是“促进”,都用作及物动词。它们之间的区别是：
• 1.advance强调的是效果; promote强调的是外界的有利条件。例如：
• Selfless patriots advanced the cause of liberation.无私的爱国者促进了解放事业的发展。
• A good example serves to promote good manners in the young.好榜样可促使青年人讲礼貌。
• 2.advance的动机一般是好的; 而promote有时指带有特殊动机的援助。例如：
• He promoted his own welfare at the expense of others.他不惜以他人利益为代价换取自己的利益。
• 3.promote一般指发展积极因素; advance主要指发展积极因素,偶尔可指消极的副作用; further则不带任何色彩,既可指发展积极因素,也可指追求消极目的。例如：
• We'll do all we can to further your plans.我们将竭尽全力推进你的计划。
• Crisis conditions furthered the spreading of rumours.危机更加剧了这种谣言的传播。
