Comparative sentence 4
Explanation
These are two advanced comparative structures. Structure (1): 'A 比 B + verb + 得 + adjective' is used to compare the degree to which an action is performed. For instance, '我比他跑得快' means I run faster than him, in which '跑得快' (runs fast) is the verb-adjective phrase complementing the action of running. Structure (2): 'A 不比 B + adjective' expresses the negation of a comparison, implying that A and B don't differ much or that A is not greater than B. For example, '我姐姐不比我高' means my older sister is not taller than me, that is, the two are about the same height.
