上面一段源于2021年新高考考试英语全国卷I(全国乙卷)的阅读理解D。请老师剖析how best to do sth 的使用方法。我的疑问是这里为何在 how 后面接最高级啊,我的记忆中,how后面是接动词原形的。如:
Go and ask how much to pay. 去问问要付多少钱。
You don’t know how hard to pass the exam. 你不了解要通过考试有多难。
I don’t know how far to trustthem. 我不了解应该相信他们到什么程度。
Exactly how much to tip a serveris at the discretion of the customer. 具体给服务生多少小费由客户自己决定。
你说的 how best to do sth 可以视为句型来记,意思是“怎么样最容易做某事”,其中的how表示方法,可以将 how best to do sth 理解为how to do sth best。又如:
He gave us advice on how best to proceed.就怎么样最好地进行,他给大家提出了建议。

I am still not sure how best todispose of the shares. 我仍然不可以确定如何才是出售这类股票的最好方法。

至于你说的以下句子,how 的使用方法有所不同,这里的 how 不是表示方法,而是表示程度的:
Go and ask how much to pay. 去问问要付多少钱。
You don’t know how hard to passthe exam. 你不了解要通过考试有多难。
