[命题点一]Here, as many as 230 million butterflies spend the winter. 多达两亿三千万只蝴蝶在这里过冬。
as many as 意为“多达……; 和……一样多”, 修饰可数名词复数。当as... as...与表示重量、数量、时间、距离、价格等的计量名词连用时,往往并不表示比较,而是构成一个形容词组,意为“重达……” “多达……” “高达……”等。如:
The river is as deep as 10 metres. 这条河深达10 米。
◎拓展:
1.as...as 意为“和……一样”,中间用形容词或副词原形, 表示同级的比较。如:
English words can be as short as one letter. 英语单词可以短到只有一个字母。
Your pen writes as well as mine. 你的钢笔书写起来和我的一样流畅。
2.not as/so + adj. /adv. +as意为“不如……”。如:
This dictionary is not as/so useful as you think. 这本词典不如你想象的那样有用。
◎温馨提示:
在as...as结构中, 要使用形容词或副词的原形; as...as既可用于肯定句也可用于否定句; so...as只用于否定句。
