- <p>不如 (bùrú) can be used to make comparisons in a similar way as
- the <a href="Basic_comparisons_with_"bi"" title=
- "wikilink">比</a> structure. In its simplest form 不如 is used to
- convey that A is 'not as good as' B. Unlike the 比 structure, when
- used in this way, the adjective or verb can be omitted.</p>
- <h2 id="simple-pattern">Simple Pattern</h2>
- <h3 id="structure">Structure</h3>
- <div class="jiegou">
- <p>A + 不如 + B</p>
- </div>
- <h3 id="examples">Examples</h3>
- <div class="liju">
- <ul>
- <li>我 哥 的 成绩 <em>不如</em> 我 。<span class="trans">My elder brother's
- .</span></li>
- <li>看 电影 <em>不如</em> 看 原著 。<span class="trans">Watching the movie
- isn't as good as reading the book.</span></li>
- <li>他 总是 觉得 自己 <em>不如</em> 别人 。<span class="trans">He always thinks
- he's not as good as other people.</span></li>
- </ul>
- </div>
- <h2 id="advanced-pattern">Advanced Pattern</h2>
- <p>When an adjective or verb is added to the structure it can then
- be used to mean A is not as 'adjective' as B, or A does not 'verb'
- as well as B:</p>
- <h3 id="structure-1">Structure</h3>
- <div class="jiegou">
- <p>A + 不如 + B + Adj.</p>
- </div>
- <div class="jiegou">
- <p>A + Verb + 得 + 不如 + B + Adj.</p>
- </div>
- <div class="jiegou">
- <p>A + Verb-Obj. + 不如 + B+ (Verb + 得) + Adj.</p>
- </div>
- <h3 id="examples-1">Examples</h3>
- <div class="liju">
- <ul>
- <li>这 件 裙子 <em>不如</em> 那 件 好看 。<span class="trans">This dress
- doesn't look as good as that one.</span></li>
- <li>那个 说法 <em>不如</em> 这个 说法 实用 。<span class="trans">This saying

- <li>我 打字 <em>不如</em> 你 打 得 快 。<span class="trans">I don't type as
- fast as you do.</span></li>
- </ul>
- </div>
- <h2 id="不如-as-an-adverb">不如 as an Adverb</h2>
- <p>When facing a choice, 不如 can also be used to mean "might as
- well" to emphasize the choice is the better of two options. When
- used like this, it is similar in meaning to 不妨.</p>
- <h3 id="examples-2">Examples</h3>
- <div class="liju">
- <ul>
- <li>在 家 看 电视 多 无聊 ！<em>不如</em> 去 KTV 吧 。 <span class="trans">,
- might as well .</span></li>
- <li>我们 在 这里 等 也 是 浪费 时间 ，<em>不如</em> 先 去 吃 个 饭 吧 。<span class=
- "trans">It's a waste of time for us to wait here.We might as well
- go out and eat something first.</span></li>
- <li><em>与其</em> 空想，<em>不如</em> 马上 行动 。<span class="trans">Rather

- <li><em>与其</em> 天天 吵架 ，<em>不如</em> 离婚 。<span class="trans">Rather
- than fighting each and every day, you might as well break
- up.</span></li>
- </ul>
- </div>
- <p>As in the last two example sentences, 不如 often occurs in the
- 与其...不如 structure, meaning "rather than X... might as well Y."</p>
