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!

曹荣禄

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?

1 Epigenetics实验胚胎学,是学科名词,不可数名词,不是复数。2 who we are为名词性从句,作shape的宾语。3 不要随意改动。

曹老师:我没有改动,我只是想知道: 1)how they shape who we are = how they shape [the people] who we are 吗? 2)how they shape who we are = how they shape us 吗?谢谢老师。

你不要等于了。就按照原句理解。who we are意思是我们是什么样的人。直接按照原句去理解。

这是疑问分句。不适合改为名词性从句。你改动就曲解愿意了。

曹荣禄

不适合改为名词性关系分句。
