as...as possible

Question

我查字典 as...as possible
中間可以接 adj. 或 n. 或帶有形容詞的名詞
他的例句有 read as many books as possible
所以我寫 do my best to get as good grades as possible文法上應該沒錯吧?

Answer 1

版主您好.

(一)
[as...as possible]這種句型其實是經過簡化的結構.
原始型態應該是: [as...as it is possible for...]
舉實際例子來說:
You should read as many books as possible.
You should read as many books as it is possible for you to read.

(二)
這種句型的應用範圍其實要比版主所說的來得廣, 就看您要描述的是句子中的哪一個部分.
舉實際例子來說:
I try hard to get good grades to make my parents happy.
套用此句型的方式有:
I try as hard as possible to get good grades to make my parents happy. (副詞)
I try hard to get as good grades as possible to make my parents happy. (形容詞 名詞)
I try hard to get good grades to make my parents as happy as possible. (形容詞)

(三)
類似的語意, 也可以把possible(形容詞)換成possibly(副詞)來表達. 不過這樣的用法, 就個人所知, 就沒有簡化版.
I try as hard as I possibly can to get good grades to make my parents happy.
I try hard to get as good grades as they [possibly can] be to make my parents happy.
*they是指grades
I try hard to get good grades to make my parents as happy as they [possibly would] be.
*they是指parents
(括號[]中的字, 前後順序可對調)

所以您寫[do my best to get as good grades as possible]文法上沒錯.

希望這樣的說明能讓您對這類的句子有更清楚的概念.

我以為你這樣寫在文法上是沒有錯的，理由如下(請參考)：

1.因為它在文法結構上與read as many books as possible是完全一致的。就好像不必要求將它改寫成read books as many as possible一樣，是不？

2.do my best to get as good grades as possible (=I can)譯成中文就是：我盡力爭取我能得到的好成績。

而如果改寫成I always try my best to get better grades時，譯成中文將是：我經常盡我一切的努力拿到比較好的成績。(這樣它在語氣上，明顯不若你原句所表達的強度，對不？

Answer 3

我覺得
do my best to get as good grades as possilbe 有點中文的影子

其實， do my best 和 as....as possible 雖然說的是不同事物，但在文法上有些重覆

感覺上一次用兩個"最"，雖然好像是要加強語氣，但感覺上有點纍贅


在英文中，better 是 比good 更好的～
另外，要避免我上述的問題，

我建議你寫 i always try my best to get better grades

或 I alwyas try to get better grades as possilbe as I could.


我的淺見~

Answer 4

嗯 你的句子中get 後面沒有東西
所以正確的應該是do my best to get grades as good as possible

供你參考囉
