We hear a great deal about the tedium of machine-minding, but I think the tedium of agriculture by old-fashioned methods is at least as great. (选自The Conquest of Happiness Rout - Bertrand Russell)
这句话中 is at least as great 是什么意思?be+as+形容词是什么用法?
常见的原级比较结构是:A is as adj as B。这里as B省略了。
这个句子想要表达的意思是:the tedium of agriculture by old-fashioned methods is at least as great as the tedium of machine-minding. 传统方式的农耕至少和机器操作一样无聊,即甚至更无聊。
