句中的 he 的意思是“任何人”(anyone)。句中的 who is not for us 为定语从句修饰 he (=anyone)。He who is not for us is against us. 的意思是:不赞成我们的人,就是反对我们的人。又如:He who knows most knows best how little he knows. 知识越多的人就越最清楚地知道自己知道得太少。这类用法现在主要见于某些谚语...

Perhaps his work is about as good as it gets.句中的 as good as it gets 是习语,你查一下词典就知道了(以下截图来自《麦克米伦高阶英汉双解词典》):温馨提示:学习不要太偷懒,有不懂的先查一下词典,实在找不到答案再来这里提问。你看看,你这个问题的4朵小花浪费了吧!
