小Q科普第五波:as much as&as many as&as well as知多少?
【題目】
Indians have reduced their birth rate but not nearly_____ the Chinese have.
A as many as B as well as C as much as D as soon as.
【答案】C
【解析】birth rate 是不可數名詞,所以選擇C項答案,意思是:印度的人口出生率已經降低,但遠沒有中國的人口出生率低。
many as, as much as的區別:
(1)as many as 是多達……,像……一樣多,修飾可數名詞
She has given birth to as many as 6 children.
她竟生了六個孩子!
(2)as much as也是多達……,像……一樣多,但它修飾不可數名詞
Put as much sugar as you like
喜歡放多少糖就放吧。
well as, as well的區別:
(1)as well as常用來連接兩個並列的成分, 作也, 還解釋。常放在句中,它強調的是前一項, 後一項順便提及
I like to eat candy as well as chocolate
我喜歡吃糖果和巧克力。
(2)as well常用作狀語, 作又,也解釋, 相當於too或also, 常位於句末, 無須用逗號與句子分開。如:
Mary is attending the party, Jack seems to be going as well.
瑪麗將出席宴會,傑克也會出席。
