‘as…as’ 就像中文的明喻法,幫助我們更好地描述事物。

結構分析︰

As(adjective) As(noun)

  • As:引入了比較。
  • 形容詞:描述事物的特質。
  • As:該字重複以保持比較的結構。
  • 名詞:能體現此特質的物件或實體。

常犯錯誤︰

Noun 前有時會配上冠詞(Article),但不同情況會有不同用法。

基本守則︰

Type of nounArticle 冠詞Examples
countable nouna / an / the / plurals 1. as wise as an owl
2. as wise as the owl
3. as wise as owls
uncountable noun不用加上冠詞(Article)As sweet as sugar (不可數)

可數名詞 (countable noun) 可以配上不同的冠詞(Article) ,那麼我們可以如何判斷?

例子使用情境解釋
Definite Article (the) – 特定的冠詞As wise as the owl指特定的、著名的貓頭鷹(通常來自故事)大家都知道的特定貓頭鷹一樣聰明。
Indefinite Article (a) – 不特定的冠詞As wise as an owl與任何一隻貓頭鷹相比(人們對貓頭鷹的典型印象)任何一隻典型的貓頭鷹一樣聰明。
No Article – 不使用冠詞As wise as owls對所有貓頭鷹均真實擁有的特質所有貓頭鷹一樣聰明,而不僅僅是一隻。
