你的句子加不加定冠词都可以。因为当 all后接“数词+复数名词”时,加不加the都表示特指(但从使用的实际情况来看,the多半是省略的)。又如:All (the) 100 senators agree to a postponement. 100位议员全都同意延期。The plane crashed, killing all (the) 200 people aboard. 飞机失事,机上 200 人全部遇难。I speak for...

▲没错,如果一个形容词是由现在分词和过去分词转化来的,那它的比较级和最高级原则上应加more, most构成。这样的例子太多。如:1. more…ingTravelling by train is more relaxing than driving. 乘火车旅行比开汽车轻松得多。He’s never more annoying than when he’s trying to help. 他要是想帮忙就更让人讨厌他。The sec...
