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。
