| 释义 | farther /fahr"dheuhr/, adv., compar. of far with farthest as superl. 1. at or to a greater distance: He went farther down the road. 2. at or to a more advanced point: They are going no farther in their studies. 3. at or to a greater degree or extent: The application of the law was extended farther. adj., compar. of far with farthest as superl. 4. more distant or remote than something or some place nearer: the farther side of the mountain. 5. extending or tending to a greater distance: He made a still farther trip. 6. Nonstandard. further (defs. 5, 6). [1300-50; ME ferther; orig. var. of FURTHER] Usage. Although some usage guides insist that only FARTHER should be used for physical distance (We walked farther than we planned), FARTHER and FURTHER have been used interchangeably throughout much of their histories. However, only FURTHER is used in the adverbial sense "moreover" (Further, you hurt my feelings) and in the adjectival senses "more extended" (no further comment) and "additional" (Further bulletins came in). The expression ALL THE FARTHER (or FURTHER) in place of as far as occurs chiefly in informal speech: This is all the farther the train goes. See also all. |
