老师您好!
句中not so much...as... 可以替换成 not as much...as...吗?
含义一样吗?
谢谢!
不可以。not so much A as B 表示择比,是固定用法。
也就是说,如果要表示择比,只能not so much A as B,不能not as much A as B。
是固定用法。
记得还有这样一个结构
as much A as B = 大致表示 A和B 的程度一样的意思。
对吗?
那么如果把提问的句子中的so改成as, 即:
The conveniences that Americans desire reflect not "as" much a leisurely lifestyle as busy lifestyle in which even minutes of time is too valuable to be wasted.
这样的话,是什么意思呢?
是表示:
A和B都不(同样的程度)的意思吗?
还是表示A不如B你?
或是其他意思呢?
非常感谢!
曹老师: Epigenetics is the study of epigenomes and how they shape who we are. 1)这里用is, 没有用are? 是不是把后面的[the study of epigenomes] and [how they shape who we are] 看作一个整体了? 2)they=epigenomes,而how they shape who we are = how they shape [the people] who we are 吗? 3)意思等同于how they shape who we are = how they shape us 吗?
不适合改为名词性关系分句。
