比较句型
1..as/so ... as ...
结构︰as/so+形容词或副词原级+as…
说明︰此句型意为"…和…一样…"。比较两件东西,并表示它们的程度一样。第一个 as 为<副词>,第二个 as 则为<副词><连接词>,引导<副词子句>,修饰第一个 as。在 as…as 中可插入单数<可数名词>,即:"as+<形容词>+a/an+<名词>+as"。若是复数<名词>,可用"as many/few+复数 <名词>+as";若是<不可数名词>,则用"as much/little+<不可数名词>+as"。"as+原级(形、副)+as+原级(形、副)"这形式表示有关同一人(物)的两种不同的性质、状态是一样程度的,译作"既有…且还有…"。
