Innovations are occurring at a bewildering rate: as many now arrive in a year as once arrived in a millennium.

选自《Old Father Time Becomes a Terror》—Richard Tomkins

译文:新技术纷至沓来,令人目不暇接:一年涌现的技术创新相当于以前一千年。

请问老师这句话中的粗体字部分的as.. .as… 结构是什么意思?

这里的as...as 表示表示比较,多达...与...一样多意思"as many as 结构

第1个as为副词,修饰 as many,第2个as为连词,并从句充当成分。用以补充说明,技术创新速度很快,种类很多。


as many now arrive in a year as once arrived in a millennium

=as many innovations in a year as once arrived in a millennium.

(第2个as作为关系词在比较状语从句作主语成分

参考译文:在一年中发明的数量与过去一千年发明的数量一样多。

还原一下句子成分你就明白了:

As many (innovations) now arrive in a year compared with the number of innovations which (=as)once arrived in a mollennium.

这其实就是一个as...as...比较状语从句。as在从句中作主语。
