farther与further这两词都可表示“更远(地)、进一步(地)”之意。
farther是far的比较级,指距离、空间或时间上的较远;有时也可指数量上或抽象的程度上的进一步,但不如further普通。
How much farther is it to the airport?
去机场还有多远?The fog's so thick, I can't see farther than about ten metres.
雾太浓了,超过10米远的地方就看不见了。It was farther to the shop than I expected.
去商店的路程比我想象的远。
further也是far的比较级(作为副词,有人认为是fore或forth的比较级),按传统的观点,further表抽象的程度或数量的更进一步,不表实际距离。但现代英语,尤其在非正式语体中,这两个词的意思实际上已没有区别,而且further用得更广泛一些。
I never got further than the first five pages of "Ulysses".
恐怕我看《尤利西斯》从未超过开头的5页,之后就看不下去了。We discussed the problem but we didn't get much further in actually solving it.
我们讨论了这个问题,但在实际解决方面没有取得多大进展。The whole matter is further complicated by the fact that Amanda and Jo refuse to speak to each other.
阿曼达和乔彼此拒绝说话,使得整个事件更加复杂了。Every day she sinks further and further into depression.
她一天天地消沉下去。
