There are many special snacks for visitors to buy in Zhouzhuang, such as sesame cakes and walnut cakes. Visitors should also try the wansan pork shank, the most famous dish in Zhouzhuang. To me, the best place to eat wansan pork shank is my father’s restaurant. It is in the center of the town and everyone knows it. It is very crowded in summer.

1. 构成
一般情况下，形容词和副词的最高级的规则变化是在词尾加-est或在其前加most构成，不规则变化则要牢记。
形容词和副词的最高级
(重读闭音节词词尾只有一个辅音字母时, 先双写辅音字母再加-est)
(以不发音的字母e结尾的加-st)
(词尾加-est)
原形
最高级
规则变化
quick quickest
fresh freshest
close closest
big biggest
规则
(多音节词和部分双音节词前加most)
comfortable most comfortable
(以辅音字母+y结尾的双音节词，变y为i加-est)
early earliest
原形
最高级
规则
cheaply (the) most cheaply
carefully (the) most carefully
(以ly结尾的副词的最高级是在其前面加 the most; the可以省略。)
good — best
bad / badly — worst
many / much — most
(不规则变化需专门记忆)
little — least
far — farthest / furthest
不规则变化
2. 用法
1) 形容词的最高级前一般要加定冠词the, 但如果其前有形容词性物主代词或名词所有格等修饰语时, 则不用定冠词the。
副词的最高级前面可以加定冠词the, 也可以省略。
e.g. This book is the most interesting one.
Her youngest daughter is eleven years old.
Liu Jun ran (the) fastest in the race.
2) 形容词和副词的最高级常与介词in或of短语连用, 说明比较的范围。
一般情况下, 如果主语与介词短语中的名词属于同一类, 用介词of; 如果不是同一类, 则用介词in。
e.g. Tina is the most outgoing in her family.
Jim jumps (the) highest of all the boys.
【温馨提示】
有时最高级和比较级可以转换。如：
This car runs (the) fastest of all the cars.
= This car runs faster than the other cars.
= This car runs faster than any other car.
the least也可表示最高级，表示否定意义。如：
It is one of the least important meetings.
它是最不重要的会议之一。
