as long as 中文意思多到让你记不住吗?英文之所以复杂,就是因为同一个词组,可能有好几种不一样的用法,而这些用法的意思还不一样,而“as long as”就是其中一个。英文老师介绍了三种 as long as 的其他用法,别再以为 as long as 只有“与…一样长”的意思!
1. 只要(在一段时间内)…就会…
e.g I’ll remember you as long as I live.
(只要我还活着,我就会一直记着你。)
e.g As long as I’m here, I’ll help.
(只要我还在这,我就会帮忙。)
特别注意这边 as long as 后面接上的是“现在简单式”,而非未来式。
2. 只要(做到某件事)…就可以…
e.g You can come as long as you are quiet.
(只要你保持安静,你就可以来。)
e.g I’ll help as long as you buy pizza.
(只要你买披萨,我就会帮你忙。)
这个用法带有假设的语意在内,与英文文法中的“假设语气”很像,都是在假设如果A事情发生,B事情就可以成行。
3. 根本就会长达…
e.g The meeting could be as long as three hours.
(这个会议根本就会长达三小时。)
e.g He can talk for as long as one hour!
(他超爱讲话,根本可以连讲一小时不口渴。)
这里的“长达(时间)”不只是单纯地在叙述某件事发生的时间长短,更是要夸饰或强调时间的“长度”。
