5 It was as good as could be expected.的分析与翻译
最佳答案 2017-05-26 15:32
▲我的理解与陈才老师的看法有所不同。我觉得这里的 as good as 并非像陈老师所说的表示“几乎，实际上；无异；不亚于”，因为当 as good as表示“几乎，实际上；无异；不亚于”时，它是个状语短语，与 almost 大致同义，它在句中是不会影响正常的句子结构的，也就是说，如果去掉 as good as 或将其换成 almost，句子仍然是完整的。如：
The matter is as good as settled. 这事等于解决了。
The car looks as good as new. 这辆车看上去像新的一样。
The summer’s as good as over. 夏天差不多已经过去了。
但是，网友的这个句子则不属此类，因为去掉 as good as，原句则成了：It was could be expected. 这显然是个错句（因为 was could用在一起了）。
▲其实，此处的 as good as 就是其本义，意思是“与……一样好”。句子的字面意思是：它跟可能预料到的一样好。也就是说：要多好有多好。注意这里的第二个 as 在句子中充当主语。又如：
He was now as strong as could be expected. 他现在的身体要多结实就有多结实。
We wanted as much evidence as could be dug up on the man. 我们想尽可能多地查探出关于那个人的证据。

这句话基本等于It was good enough. 这里我看如果把 as good as 看做一个词组,理解为“几乎”，不合适。它指的是和预想的一样，英语里也经常说 as well as could be expected.
