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.表示数量,意为“……之多”“多达” 如:
In fact it cost me as much as 100 dollars. 事实上,它整整花了我100美元。(一笔
钱)
We walked as much as 50 miles that day.
那天我们整整走了50英里。 (一段距离)
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。
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。
二、表示程度
1. 译为“尽量”“尽最大(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。
2. 译为“像……一样(的程度)”。如:
He doesn’t think of you as much as he ought to (think of you). 他没有像本应
该的那样对你好。
We’re in the dark just as much as you are.
