，是英语中比较特殊的一种表达方式，在阅读中会时常见到。much在这里实际是不定代词，表 示 程 度 ，表示 在很大程度上；占了很大的比例。说 明：”该名词在很大程度上怎 样 。名词前加了 much o f之 后，实际上削弱了后面那个名词的100%de的完整性，降低了它的程度、性质、品质或身份等。John is much of a conversationalist.约翰很有健谈者的范儿。说明他并不是真正的健谈者，只是有很多健谈者的样子或特质。所以 范儿 二字画龙点睛，使John的100%的健谈者身份遭到了降低。如果句中没有much of,那 么，John is a conversationalist.约翰就是一个实实在在的健谈者了。在现代英语中，为了简练，在much of aconversationalist 中，of 经常省略。因 此：John is much of a conversationalist.=John is much aconversationalist.much表示程度的上述用法，经常跟否定连用、跟t。连用、跟very连用、跟比较从句连用，而且o f均可省略。I dont like that young lady;shes too much of a social

词+th a n:说明前者比后者 程度大或 程 度 增 加 。(2)less of a+单数名词+than:说明前者比后者 程度小或“程度减弱。【说明】than后面的成分，在一定的上下文中可以省略不说。上述两种比较结构，实际上表达了一种“取 舍 关 系 ，两个句式的意思正好相反。例 如：(1)This is much of a sitting room.这很像个起居室的样子。(2)This is
