“as…as…”是英语中原级比较的核心结构,基本含义是“和……一样……”,用于比较两个事物在某一属性或程度上的等同性。以下是具体用法和细节解析:
表示“甲和乙在某方面(形容词/副词描述的特征)相同”,结构为:
形容词比较(描述名词的特征):
She is as beautiful as her mother.(她和她妈妈一样漂亮。)
This book is as interesting as that one.(这本书和那本一样有趣。)
副词比较(描述动词的动作程度):
He runs as fast as his brother.(他跑得和哥哥一样快。)
She speaks English as fluently as a native.(她英语说得和母语者一样流利。)
表示“甲不如乙……”,否定句中as和so均可使用(so更口语化,as更正式),结构为:
He isn’t as tall as his father.(他不如父亲高。)
This movie isn’t so exciting as the last one.(这部电影不如上一部刺激。)
1、 中间必须用“原级”:
不能用比较级(as taller as 错误)或最高级(as tallest as 错误),只能用形容词/副词的原级。
2、 可加“程度副词”修饰:
若要强调程度,可在as…as中间加入表示程度的副词(如almost, nearly, just, exactly, twice等),但不能加very, too(as very tall as 错误)。
She is almost as smart as her teacher.(她几乎和老师一样聪明。)
This box is twice as heavy as that one.(这个盒子比那个重一倍。)
1、 as + 形容词 + a/an + 单数名词 + as:
当比较“名词的特征”时,冠词a/an要放在形容词之后(不能说as a nice girl as)。
She is as nice a girl as her sister.(她和姐姐一样是个好女孩。)
This is as big a house as ours.(这栋房子和我们的一样大。)
2、 as much as / as many as:
用于比较数量(much接不可数名词,many接可数名词复数):
I drank as much water as you.(我喝的水和你一样多。)
As many as 200 people attended the meeting.(多达200人参加了会议。)
“as…as…”还可构成固定短语,表示特定含义:
as well as:①“也;和……一样”(连接并列成分);②“和……一样好”(原级比较)。
I like coffee as well as tea.(我喜欢咖啡,也喜欢茶。)
She sings as well as she dances.(她唱歌和跳舞一样好。)
as long as:只要(引导条件状语从句)。
You can go out as long as you finish your homework.(只要做完作业,你就能出去。)
as far as:就……而言;直到……程度。
As far as I know, he’s never been abroad.(就我所知,他从没出过国。)
as soon as:一……就……(引导时间状语从句)。
I’ll call you as soon as I arrive.(我一到就给你打电话。)
比较的对象需为同类事物,避免逻辑错误:
错误:The weather in Beijing is as cold as Shanghai.(北京的天气和上海比?应比较“上海的天气”)
正确:The weather in Beijing is as cold as that in Shanghai.(that指代weather)
“as…as…”的核心是原级比较,关键要注意:
中间用原级;
否定用“not as/so…as”;
特殊结构(如as much as、as + adj + a/an + n + as);
固定搭配的引申义。
通过例子巩固会更易掌握,比如:
肯定:My cat is as lazy as yours.(我的猫和你的一样懒。)
否定:This cake isn’t as sweet as the one I made yesterday.(这个蛋糕不如我昨天做的甜。)
数量:I have as many books as my brother.(我的书和哥哥一样多。)
希望以上解析能帮你彻底掌握这个高频短语!
