*1. limit adjective(极限形容词)

所谓极限形容词是指本身就表达一个绝对、极端意义的形容词。此类形容词通常不能用于比较级和最高级。属于该类的常见形容词有：perfect, unique, impossible, worthless, speechless, empty, full, disgusting, amazed, terrific, marvelous, excellent, exhausted, 等等。但这些词前却可以带诸如absolutely, completely, quite, totally, utterly等的程度副词作修饰语，表示最高的程度；还可带有诸如almost, nearly, practically, virtually 等程度副词，表示接近最高的程度之意。如, \和 \。

2. non-gradable adjectives(非程度形容词)

此类形容词不能表示\程度\的不同，只可表\是\与\非\。如，married(已婚)一词，我们不能说一个人 \或 \，只能说要么 \要么 \。属

于该类的常见形容词有：

1)表示国籍的形容词，如Chinese, British, American, Spanish等等； 2)表示颜色的形容词，如red, blue, yellow等；

3)表示方向、方位的形容词，如northern, southern, eastern, western, middle, right, left, outdoor, indoor, 等等；以及其它像monthly, weekly, yearly, daily, atomic, painted, electric等等很多有 \意义的形容词，一般都不可用于比较级和最高级。但上述形容词有时也可以用于比较级来表示特殊的意义。如, \is more Chinese than a Chinese.\意为 \behaves or seems very much like a typical Chinese person.\或 \speaks Chinese language very well, even better than a Chinese person.\

因此，在使用英语形容词时，我们切不可粗心大意想当然，而是要充分了解它们的意义、特点，只有这样才能做到准确地运用。
