[分享] as

enjoy!

-------

as … as versus so … as

A traditional usage rule draws a distinction between comparisons using as … as and comparisons using so … as. The rule states that the so … as construction is required in negative sentences (as in Shakespeare’s “’tis not so deep as a well”), in questions (as in Is it so bad as she says?), and in certain if clauses (as in If it is so bad as you say, you ought to leave). But this so … as construction is becoming increasingly rare in American English, and the use of as … as is now entirely acceptable in all contexts.

as … as and than

When making comparisons involving both as … as and than, remember to keep the second as in formal style. Write He is as smart as, or smarter than, his brother, not He is as smart or smarter than his brother, which is considered unacceptable in formal style.

as meaning “because” or “when”

When as expresses a causal relation, it should be preceded by a comma, as in She won’t be coming, as we didn’t invite her. When as expresses a time relation, it is not preceded by a comma: She was finishing the painting as I walked into the room. When you begin a sentence with a clause that starts with as, make sure that it is clear whether as is used to mean “because” or “at the same time that.” The sentence As they were leaving, I walked to the door may mean either “I walked to the door because they were leaving” or “I walked to the door at the same time that they were leaving.”

as used redundantly

As is sometimes used superfluously with verbs like consider and deem.

168. Today, because of improvements in agricultural technology, the same amount of acreage produces double the apples that it has in 1910.

(A)  double the apples that it has

(B)  twice as many apples as it did

(C)  as much as twice the apples it has

(D)  two times as many apples as there were

(E)   a doubling of the apples that it did

Choice B, the best answer, correctly uses the adverbial phrase twice as many... to modify the verb produces; properly employs many rather than much to describe a quantity made up of countable units (apples); and appropriately substitutes did for the understood produced to express the logically necessary past tense of produces. Choice A awkwardly substitutes the adjective double for twice; uses that without a clear referent; and misuses has to refer to events occurring in 1910. Choice C employs the incorrect much in a wordy construction and also misuses has. D is wordy and imprecise;... as there were in 1910 refers to all apples produced in 1910, regardless of location. E is illogical: since that refers to a doubling, E nonsensically asserts that the doubling occurred in 1910.

我贴了一个不太相关的题目在这里，因为有两个as as,请教楼主mm，这里的两个as的词性和用法有什么不同吗？ets把它们分开进行解释，可见不是仅仅是把它们用作as many as就完事了的。这两个as as的用法到底有什么不同？

up!

哗,MM看og可真仔细!向你致敬!

我想这题也许ets的出题点是twice doube 和two times的比较,所以第一句的解释提到twice as many后面的就省略掉了,并不是刻意将as many as割裂开,因为as many as表比较已经比较约定俗成了,这个帖子的第二段也有提到.我们应该可以将其视为一个短语.而D中又提到as的原因是它后面的被比较对象出现逻辑错误:前面是某一年单位面积的产量,而后面却成了该年的总量.

这只是我目前想到的,请MM指教

哪里敢当指教啊，我只是一个把og解释当语法书看的菜鸟

168. Today, because of improvements in agricultural technology, the same amount of acreage produces double the apples that it has in 1910.

(B)  twice as many apples as it did

1、the same amount of acreage produces ，twice as many apples，as it did

2、the same amount of acreage produces ，twice as many apples as it did

我是搞不清楚，as many as 中的as 是和same一伙的，还是就是as many as一伙的，ets老家伙又把它们拆开解释，我就更昏了。我可能钻牛角尖过头了？？？？？

记得高中英语课上，老师见过as many as中两个as的词性不同，怎么个不同法早就还给他了。所以由此一问。

第二个应该是连词，连接两个句子，第一个呢？

MM真厉害! 我也加一问: as many as 后是不是一定接句子?

谢谢

up!

昨天在lsat句子里得到印证，the same后不一定要接as。

有哪位xdjm知道as 。。。as里两个as的不同之处？两个都是连词词性吗？似乎不是。

这个问题太简单大家都不愿意讨论吗？只记住as...as连用就可以了吗？

168. Today, because of improvements in agricultural technology, the same amount of acreage produces twice as many apples as it did in 1910.

请哪位帮忙分析一下twice后面的句子结构吧，感谢ing！
