as much as的用法

Answer 1

as much as看似简单，但是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。它可以表示数量，表示程度，还可以表示经常性（=as often as）。

（3）The speed can vary by as much as 15 percent.（一段变化范围）

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）。

（1）I ate as much as I could.我能吃多少就吃了多少。

（2）Give me as much as you gave Jane.给我的要和你给简的一样多。

4.译为“好像”、“几乎”、“差不多”=nearly/as good as

那无异于说我撒谎。

5.译为“既……又”、“不仅……而且”（平等的成分）
