同级比较 "as…as…"
1. as…as 的基本意思为“与……一样”,第一个as副词,第二个as可用作介词(后接名词或代词)或连词(后接从句),中间通常接形容词或副词(用原级),但如果有数量或程度,可用“as much+不可数名词+as”和“as many+可数名词复数+as”:
My brother is as tall as my father.
He plays basketball as well as Mike.
You made as many mistakes as I did in the exams.
中间用形容词时,有时候也可以接一个带有 a/ an 的名词。
He wants to be as good a basketball player as Yaoming.
在否定句中,第一个 as 也可换成 so:
I am not as (so) tall as my sister. 我不如我妹妹高。
2. 在非正式场合(尤其是美国英语中),有时可以省略第一个as。如:
he prefers to marry a girl rich as himself. 他想娶一个像他一样富有的女孩。
若意思明确,有时也可省略第二个as及其后的相关词语。如:
The things in that shop will be cheaper, but not as good.
那家商店的东西会便宜些,但质量没那么好。
3. as...as..结构根据情况也可用使用以下修饰语:(not) nearly, almost, just, nothing like, exactly, not quite, half, one-ten, twice, three times, 30 per cent等,但这些修饰语必须放在第 一个as之前,而不能放在其后。如:
He doesn't study half as well as his sister. 他的学习不及他姐姐的一半好。
This pair of shoes is twice as expensive as that. 这双鞋比那双贵一倍。
Plus:
我们也用 the same ...as ...表示“与....一样”,但 the same 后必须用名词. 如:
She is as old as me. 她与我同龄。
She is the same age as me.
