涉及數(shù)量或程度的用法
若涉及數(shù)量或程度,可用“as much+不可數(shù)名詞+as”和“as many+可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)+as”。如:
He doesn’t pay as much tax as we do / as us. 他沒我們交的稅款多。
There are not as many restaurants as there were. 現(xiàn)在餐館沒有過去多了。
有關(guān)詞序的一點(diǎn)說(shuō)明
其間接形容詞時(shí),有時(shí)該形容詞還可修飾另一名詞,但這個(gè)名詞應(yīng)帶有不定冠詞(注意詞序)。如:
I have as good a voice as you. 我的聲音和你一樣好。
該結(jié)構(gòu)的修飾語(yǔ)
根據(jù)情況可用(not) nearly, almost, just, nothing like, exactly, not quite, half, one-ten, twice, three times, 30 per cent等修飾,并且這些修飾語(yǔ)必須置于第一個(gè)as之前,而不能置于其后。如:
This room is twice as large as that one. 這個(gè)房間是那個(gè)房間的兩個(gè)大。
You’re not half as clever us you think you are. 你遠(yuǎn)不是自己想像的那么聰明。
It took three times as long as I had expected. 這件事比我預(yù)料的多花了兩倍的時(shí)間。
