英语复习
:as much as
的用法
as
much
as
看似简单,但在实际运用中却相当复杂,不仅用法颇多,而且许多含有
as
much
as
结构的句子往往不好
理解(尤其是不好翻译成中文)
,对许多同学来说都是一个难
点
。为帮助同学们攻克这一难点,本文拟对此作一个全面的总结和分析。
一、表示数量
1.
表示具体的数量,
其后通常直接跟具体数量,
其意为
“……之多”
p>
“多达”
“整整”
,
强调“多”
。如:
In fact it cost
me as much as 100 dollars.
事实上,它整整花了我
p>
100
美元。
We walked as
much as 50 miles that day.
那天我们整整走了
50
英里。
She trained
hard for the race
,
sometimes running as much as 60 miles a
week.
为了比赛,
她拼命地训练,有时一个星期要跑
p>
60
英里。
—
Is
it hot up there
?
那上面热吗?
—
Of
course
,
as much
as 45 degrees.
当然热,高达
45
度。
The speed can vary by as
much as 15 percent.
其速度的差别可高达
15
%。
注:如上例所示,
as much as
用于表示具体的数量时,其后接的可能是可数名词,但由
于它们意义上仍然为不可数
,故用
as much
as
,不用
as many
as
。如
100
dollars
,尽管其中
的
dollars
为可数名词的复数形式,由于
100
dollars
仍是一个不可数的概念,仍是不可数
的。但是下面这句是错的:
I read as much as
100 articles today.
因为这里的
100 articles
表示
的是可数概念,故应改为:
I
read as many as 100 articles.
2.
表
示模糊的数量,其意为“与……一样多”
,有时
much
后可接被修饰的名词(不可
数)
。如:
I ate as much
as I could.
我能吃多少就吃了多少。
I
’
ll spend as
much as necessary.
需要花多少钱,我就花多少钱。
Give me as much
as you gave Jane.
给我的要和你给简的一样多。

haven
’
t got as much money as
I thought.
我不像原来想象的有那么多钱。

’

haven
’
t done as much as I
should.
我很抱歉,我做得很不够。

twice as much as the nurses.

差
不多是护士的两倍。

much as our buyer can supply.

If you charge
as much as that
,
you
’
ll scare
customers off.
如果你要价那么高,
你会把顾
客吓跑的。
二、表示程度
1.
译为“尽量”
“尽最大努力(可
能)
”
,主要用于
as...as possible
[
one
can
]
。如:
You
ought to rest as much as possible.
你应当尽量多休息。
I have helped
you as much as I can. Now it is up to you.
我已尽我所能地帮助你了。
现在该
看你自己了。
I won
’
t have a
pudding
—
it was as much as I
could do to finish the very large first course.
p>
我
不要布丁了——我能把第一道大菜吃完就已经很不容易了。
2.
译为“像……一样(的程度)
”
。如:
He
doesn
’
t think of you as much
as he ought to.
他没有像本应该的那样对你好。
We
’
re in the dark
just as much as you are.
我们跟你们一样被蒙在鼓里。
