◆ as (so) far as; as (so) long as

◇ as(so)far as的意思是“就……而言(所知)”,as (so) far as sth.is concerned是其中一种具体用法,意为“就某事而言”;as (so) long as意为“只要”,引导条件状语从句。如:

只要我们不断地努力去做,就没有什么事干不成。

as far as the tourism of china is concerned, there is a long way to go.

就中国的旅游业而言,需要做的工作还很多。

◆ asleep/sleeping 二者都是形容词。asleep仅用作表语,不能作定语,表示“睡着,熟睡”的意思;而sleeping一般只能用作定语,放在名词前,表示“睡眠中的,休止的”意思。

如:我们不能说:an asleep baby,但可以说:a sleeping baby(一个熟睡的婴儿)。

再如:he was asleep with his head on his arms.他头枕着手臂在熟睡。

asleeping dog正在熟睡的狗sleeping car卧车 sleeping bag睡袋。

◆ assert,affirm,maintain ◇ assert宣称、断言,常指某人主观自信,坚持己见,有时不顾客观事实而断言下结论。◇ affirm指以事实为依据,深信不疑地肯定某种观点或看法。◇ maintain指在相反的证据或论点面前,重申原来的某种观点、立场。

a.despite all the policeman’s questions the suspect __that he had been at home all evening.

◇ even though(=even if),意为“即使”,引导让步状语从句。though也引导让步状语从句,意为“虽然”;even though有退一步设想的意味,与though不同。though引导的句子所说的是事实,even though引导的句子所说的则不一定是事实。

例如:he will not tell the secret even though(even if)he knows it.即使他知道这个秘密,他也不肯说出来。
