英语短语"as much"核心表示“同样多(的量/程度)”,主要用于不可数名词的数量或程度对比,常与其他结构搭配使用。以下是具体含义和用法的详细解析:
"as much" 用于指代或对比不可数名词的数量(如时间、金钱、食物、抽象概念等),强调“与前文/对方相同的量”或“达到某种程度”。
基本结构:`as much + 不可数名词 + as` 或省略名词直接用 `as much as`(指代前文提到的不可数名词)。
She drank as much coffee as I did. (她喝的咖啡和我一样多。)
I don’t have as much time as I used to. (我没有以前那么多时间了。)
Would you like some water? — Yes, but not as much (as last time). (要喝点水吗?—— 好的,但别像上次那么多。)
用于强调数量之大,后接具体数值或名词。

用于引导让步状语,相当于“Even though”,后接从句。

As much as she hates public speaking, she agreed to give a talk. (虽然她讨厌公开演讲,但还是同意发言了。)
用于对比两个事物的属性,强调后者更准确。

避免重复前文提到的不可数名词,直接用"as much"代替。

表示“两倍之多;多一倍”。

"as much" → 用于不可数名词(时间、金钱、液体、抽象概念等);
"as many" → 用于可数名词复数(书、苹果、人等)。
例:
Take as many apples as you want, but not as much juice. (苹果随便拿,但果汁别拿太多。)
"as much" 是处理不可数名词数量/程度的核心短语,通过不同搭配可表达“等量对比、数量强调、让步、取舍”等含义。掌握其与"as...as"、"not so much...as..."的组合,能精准传达英语中的数量关系和逻辑。
