Being a mother isn't as bad as I thought at first!... 做母亲并不像我一开始想的那样糟！ I don't think he was ever as fit as he should have been. 我认为他本该更健康的。 3 [PHR-CONJ-COORD ]（强调数量）多达，只有 You use as...as to emphasize amounts of something. [emphasis] You can look forward to a significant cash return by saving from as little as £10 a month... 只要每个月存下区区10英镑，你就有希望得到相当可观的现金收益。 She gets as many as eight thousand letters a month. 她一个月里收到的信件多达8,000封。 4 [PREP 介词]作为；当作 You use as when you are indicating what someone or something is or is thought to be, or what function they have.

[PHR with cl] [vagueness] I'd understood the words, but I didn't, as it were, understand the question. 字面的意思我懂了，但是可以说我并不能理解这个问题。 11 [PHRASE 短语]事实上，实际上（表示实际情况和可能情况的对比） You use expressions such as as it is ,as it turns out, and as things stand when you are making a contrast between a possible situation and what actually happened or is the case.
