asmuchas和asmanyas

1、英語(yǔ)復(fù)習(xí) :as much as 的用法as much as 看似簡(jiǎn)單，但在實(shí)際運(yùn)用中卻相當(dāng)復(fù)雜，不僅用法頗多，而且許多含有asmuch as 結(jié)構(gòu)的句子往往不好理解（尤其是不好翻譯成中文） ，對(duì)許多同學(xué)來(lái)說(shuō)都是一個(gè)難 點(diǎn)。為幫助同學(xué)們攻克這一難點(diǎn)，本文擬對(duì)此作一個(gè)全面的總結(jié)和分析。一、表示數(shù)量1.表示具體的數(shù)量，其后通常直接跟具體數(shù)量，其意為“之多” “多達(dá)”“整整”，強(qiáng)調(diào)“多” 。如：In fact it cost me as much as 100 dollars.事實(shí)上，它整整花了我100 美元。We walked as much as 50 miles that day. 那天我們整

2、整走了 50 英里。She trained hard for the race ， sometimes running as much as 60 miles a week.為了比賽，她拼命地訓(xùn)練，有時(shí)一個(gè)星期要跑60 英里。 Is it hot up there ？ 那上面熱嗎？ Of course ， as much as 45 degrees. 當(dāng)然熱，高達(dá)45 度。The speed can vary by as much as 15 percent.其速度的差別可高達(dá)15。注：如上例所示， as much as 用于表示具體的數(shù)量時(shí)，其后接的可能是可數(shù)名詞，但由于它們意義上仍然為不可

3、數(shù)，故用 as much as ，不用 as many as 。如 100 dollars ，盡管其中的 dollars 為可數(shù)名詞的復(fù)數(shù)形式，由于100 dollars 仍是一個(gè)不可數(shù)的概念，仍是不可數(shù)的。但是下面這句是錯(cuò)的： I read as much as 100 articles today. 因?yàn)檫@里的100 articles 表示的是可數(shù)概念，故應(yīng)改為： I read as many as 100 articles.2.表示模糊的數(shù)量，其意為“與一樣多"，有時(shí)much后可接被修飾的名詞（不可 數(shù)） 。如：I ate as much as I could. 我能吃多少就吃

4、了多少。I ll spend as much as necessary.需要花多少錢(qián)，我就花多少錢(qián)。Give me as much as you gave Jane.給我的要和你給簡(jiǎn)的一樣多。I haven t got as much money as I thought. 我不像原來(lái)想象的有那么多錢(qián)。I m sorry I haven t done as much as I should. 我很抱歉，我做得很不夠。Some of the doctors are paid almost twice as much as the nurses.有些醫(yī)生所獲得的報(bào)酬差不多是護(hù)士的兩倍。We can

5、 take as much as our buyer can supply. 買(mǎi)主能提供多少我們就能要多少。If you charge as much as that ， you ll scare customers off. 如果你要價(jià)那么 高，你會(huì)把顧客嚇跑的。二、表示程度1. 譯為“盡量” “盡最大努力（可能）” ，主要用于as.aspossible one can。如：You ought to rest as much as possible.你應(yīng)當(dāng)盡量多休息。I have helped you as much as I can. Now it is up to you.我已盡我所能地

6、幫助你了。現(xiàn)在該看你自己了。I won t have a pudding it was as much as I could do to finish the very large first course. 我不要布丁了我能把第一道大菜吃完就已經(jīng)很不容易了。2 .譯為“像一樣（的程度）如：He doesn t think of you as much as he ought to.他沒(méi)有像本應(yīng)該的那樣對(duì)你好。We re in the dark just as much as you are.我們跟你們一樣被蒙在鼓里。I don t pretend to know as much as he

7、does about it.我不敢說(shuō)我對(duì)此事的了解有他那樣多。I like cats as muchas dogs. 我喜歡貓和喜歡狗的程度相同。 （ 此句可視為 I like cats as much as I like dogs 之省略）3 .譯為“與一樣多”。如：I haven t as much responsibility as before. 我不再擔(dān)負(fù)過(guò)去那樣多的責(zé)任了。4 . 譯為“好像” “幾乎” “差不多” “等于” 。如：That is as much as saying I am a liar.那無(wú)異于說(shuō)我撒謊。He as much as admitted that i

8、t was his fault.他幾乎承認(rèn)說(shuō)是他的錯(cuò)。You said “ all right ” ， which was as much as to say that you were satisfied.你當(dāng)時(shí)說(shuō)“行” ，這就等于說(shuō)你認(rèn)為滿意。注： as much as to say saying 可視為習(xí)語(yǔ)，意為“等于說(shuō)” 。5 .譯為“既又” "不僅而且”。如：It is as much your responsibility as mine.這件事你和我一樣都有責(zé)任。He retorted that it was my fault as much as his.他反駁說(shuō)那不

9、僅是他的錯(cuò)，而且也是我的錯(cuò)。或：他反駁說(shuō)我的錯(cuò)誤并不比他的錯(cuò)誤小。I expect to weep as much as （ to ） laugh. 我簡(jiǎn)直又想哭，又想笑。6 . 有時(shí)有較靈活的譯法：His latest play is not as much a farce as a burlesque tragedy.他最近的一個(gè)劇本與其說(shuō)是一個(gè)滑稽劇，不如說(shuō)是一個(gè)滑稽的悲劇。三、表示經(jīng)常性Do you dine out as much as you did in Paris ？你還像在巴黎那樣常常在外面 吃飯嗎？Grandma s getting on a bit and doesn t go out as much as she used to. 奶奶年事日高， 不像從前那樣常出門(mén)了。四、兩點(diǎn)特別說(shuō)明1. 第二個(gè) as 有時(shí)為關(guān)系代詞，用以引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句。如：I gave him as much as he could eat.他能吃多少，我就給了他多少。As much as he earned was given to his girlfriend.他賺的錢(qián)都給了他的女朋友。2. 當(dāng)連接兩個(gè)成分作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，其后謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞習(xí)慣上要與前面一個(gè)成分保持一致。如
