发布日期 : 2022-11-10浏览次数 : 来源 :
1. as long as意为“只要”,与so long as同义,用于引导条件状语从句。当主句为一般将来时,从句要用一般现在时表示将来发生的动作,即“主将从现”。如:
You may take this book away as/so long as you return it on time.
只要你按时归还,就可以把这本书拿走。
As long as you tell the truth, I’ll try to help you.
只要你告诉我实情,我会尽力帮助你。
2. as long as意为“既然;由于;因为”,表示原因。如:
As long as you are going, I’ll go too.
既然你要去,那么我也去。
As long as we’ve driven this far, we might as well go on.
我们既然已经驾驶得这么远了,就不妨继续前进。
3. as long as意为“与……一样长(久)”,在否定句中,可说成(not) as/so long as。如:
The green pencil is as long as the red one.
这支绿铅笔和那支红色的一样长。
Tom didn’t stay there as/so long as David.
汤姆在那儿待得不如大卫长久。
