VOA慢速英语:A Visit to Poet Robert Frost’s Farm in Derry, New Hampshire

1.The house was carefully refurnished with the help of Frost's eldest daughter, Lesley Frost Ballantine. She worked to reproduce her childhood home as closely as possible.

as as

其基本意思为“与……一样”，其中的第一个as副词，其后通常接形容词或副词(用原级)，第二个as可用作介词(后接名词或代词)或连词(后接从句)。使用时应注意以下几点：
1. 在否定句中，第一个 as 也可换成 so：
He doesn’t study as [so] hard as his brother. 他学习不如他弟弟努力。
2. 在该结构的两个as之间通常接形容词或副词的原级，但若涉及数量或程度，可用“as much+不可数名词+as”和“as many+可数名词复数+as”：
You’ve made as many mistakes as I have.  你犯的错误和我犯的一样多。
I haven’t got as much money as I thought. 我不像原来想像的有那么多钱。(R2/92)
其间接形容词时，有时该形容词还可修饰另一名词，但这个名词应带有不定冠词(注意词序)：
She is as good a cook as her mother. 她和她妈妈一样是位好厨师。
也可说：She is a cook as good as her mother.
但不说：She is as a good cook as her mother. 或They are as good cooks as us.

2.In eighteen eighty-three, American poet Emma Lazarus wrote a poem as if Lady Liberty were speaking. In part it says: "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free ... I lift my lamp beside the golden door."

as if好像, 似乎, 仿佛

例句：Why doesn't she buy me a drink?It isn't as if she had no money!
      她为什么不给我买一点饮料?好像她没钱似的!
