正确表达This dress is gaudier than that one.

正确表达She wore a gaudy red dress to the party.
英语多个形容词并列修饰名词时,表示评价的形容词(如 gaudy)要放在表示颜色的形容词(如 red)之前,所以正确语序是 a gaudy red dress,而不是 a red gaudy dress。

易错句子The decorations are much gaudy.
正确表达The decorations are very gaudy.
修饰形容词原级表示“很”时用 very,不能用 much。much 通常修饰比较级(如 much gaudier)或不可数名词;因此这里应说 very gaudy。
