在英语写作中，我们见证了太多的“越”。你是否会因岁月的流逝，知识的沉淀而对这些迷人的“越”驾轻就熟了呢？先看以下例句： A growing number of students are faced with a bigger and bigger problem.Namely, with the College Entrance Examination approaching, they grow more and more nervous and anxious.To their despair, however, the more nervous and anxious they are, the less progress they make.
上面语段可译为：越来越多的学生正面临着一个越来越大的问题。随着高考临近，他们变得越来越紧张、焦躁。然而，让他们绝望的是，他们越紧张、焦躁，他们取得的进步就越小。
句中出现了三处“越来越……”和一处“越……，就越……”，充分体现出了那些“越……”的无上妙用，让人读后回味无穷。 1．说到“越来越……”，大家的脑海里很快就会浮现出这样的模式：比较级＋比较级。若修饰名词或是双音节和多音节的形容词或副词，我们常用more and more/less and less＋adj./adv./n.。 It comes as no surprise that customers are more and more demanding towards products and service. 不可否认，顾客对产品和服务质量的要求越来越高。
2．若使用growingly/increasingly来替代more and more，用decreasingly来替代less and less，则更显过人之处。同样，“越来越多的……”可使用a growing/an increasing number of ...，“越来越少的……”可使用a declining/decreasing number of ...。 ①Recently, I found it increasingly hard to breathe in clean air.
最近，我发现呼吸干净的空气越来越难了。
②A growing number of people realize the importance of environmental protection.

3．“The more ..., the more ...”表示“越……，就越……”。“the more”可以是形容词或副词的比较级，也可后接名词。若想表达否定含义，则改为“the less”。
