初中九年级U10 3a课文中有一句话:
We often just walk around the town center, seeing as many of our friends as we can.
我不太明白as many of our friends as we can是个什么结构,我们目前只学过as+adj./adv.原级+as+其他的结构,但是 many of our friends 好像是个名词性短语啊,为什么放在这里合理?
也请老师帮我拓展一下原级比较的其他结构,像as+adj. +a/an+n. +as之类,谢谢!
你可以把as...as we can 看作一种固定的句型,表示某种能力或可能性。as much as we can / as possible 这个句型你应该知道吧?其实它就是从这里变化而来。可以说to see as many friends as we can. 由于friends前有限定词our, 所以只能用many of our friends, 英语不说many our friends. 请看《剑桥词典》的解释:
至于你问到 as +adj. +a/an+ noun+ as 的用法也是很常见的,请比较几个外刊例句::
They could buy as big a house as their friends'.
I don't want as big a house as I have now.
You want to build as big a house as your money can buy.
你体会一下,然后模仿使用即可。
如果觉得我的回答对您有用,请随意打赏。你的支持将鼓励我继续创作!
many of our friends 的中心词是 many,of our friends 只是修饰 many 的定语。所以 as...as 中间本质上接的还是 many,所以是可以的。又如:
I want to collect as many of the stickers as possible. 我想收集尽可能多的贴纸。
We're keen to see as many of the sights as possible. 我们渴望看到尽可能多的景点。
另外像as+adj. +a/an+n. +as之类的用法可参考:
