這句型可以表達任何的「愈…愈好!」,例如The taller, the better! 愈高愈好!
但了解表達的完整結構,這個表達就更靈活了:
結構:<The 比較級 S. + V…, the 比較級 S. + V….>
試著把主詞及動詞加進來,然後將比較級做更靈活運用。如何靈活運用呢?請看下面幾個例句就能明白。
- 容易運用: The more…the more…
這裡的more代表任何想表達的形容詞或副詞比較級。
The more you practice it, the better you do it. (你愈常練習,就做得愈好。)
The earlier you get up, the healthier you become. (你愈早起床,就愈健康。) - ⭐靈活運用:less或fewer與more交互運用。
The more careful you are, the fewer mistakes you make.
(你愈細心,就愈少失誤。)
The fewer books we read, the fewer things we know.
(我們愈少讀書,就知道愈少。)

(我愈少跟他接觸,我愈感開心) - 延伸運用:less或more也可以修飾副詞。
The less often you practice, the more likely you fail.
(你愈少練習,就愈可能失敗。)
The more carefully you drive, the possibly you get there on time.
(你愈小心開車,你就愈可能準時到達。)
