1.all+抽象名詞/抽象名詞+itself = very + adj.

He was all gentleness to her.他對她非常溫存。

To his superiors， he is humility itself.對于長輩，他極為謙遜。

分析：該結(jié)構(gòu)原來是表示某種性質(zhì)達(dá)到極點(diǎn)的一種說法，有"非常"、"盡管"、"一味"、"盡"的含義，有時(shí)甚至可以譯為"……的化身"、"……的具體化".普通復(fù)數(shù)名詞用于"all"之后，也是表達(dá)這種概念。

He is all smiles.他一味地笑。

She is all eyes.她盯著看。

I am all anxiety.我真擔(dān)心。

He is all attention.他全神貫注地聽著。

2.Something (much) of / nothing (little) ofMr.Li is something of a philospher.李先生略具哲學(xué)家風(fēng)范。

Mr. Wu is nothing of a musician.吳先生全無音樂家的風(fēng)味。

Mr. Lu is very much of a poet.陸先生大有詩人氣派。

Mr.Liu is little of a scholar.劉先生幾無學(xué)者風(fēng)度。

分析：此為表示"程度"的形容詞短語，有時(shí)可以當(dāng)作副詞翻譯。

Something of =to some extent(某程度)，在問句和條件句中則用anyting of(略有、多少)。nothing of譯作"全無、毫無".

相類似的情況：

to be something of = to have something of + 名詞+in +代名詞.

He is nothing in ability of an orator = He has nothing of an orator in his ability.他毫無演說家的才能。

這類名詞的用法，可以處理為副詞。

He has seen something of life.他略具閱歷。他稍閱世。

Something of 與something like區(qū)別：程度上有差異。

something like = something approximateing in character or amount指數(shù)量或性質(zhì)略同的事物，又作somewhat(似乎、略微)解釋。

This is something like a pudding.此物略似布丁。

It shaped something like a cigar.其形狀略似雪茄。

3.as……as 的三種用法;

(1)He is as kind as his sister.他象他妹妹一樣和藹。

(2)He is as kind as honest.他既誠實(shí)又和藹。

(3)He ia as kind as his sister is honest.他妹妹誠實(shí)，而他和藹。

句式1表示兩個(gè)不同的人相同的性質(zhì);

句式2表示同一個(gè)人不同的性質(zhì);

句式3表示兩個(gè)人的不同性質(zhì)。該句式中第一個(gè)as為之時(shí)副詞，第二個(gè)as為連詞。所以，第一個(gè)as后面為adj./adv.，而第二個(gè)as后面為從句。

4.as……as any / as ……as ever.

He is as great a statesman as any = He is as great a statesman as ever lived.他是一位稀有的政治家。

5.as……as……can be.

It is as plain as plain can be (may be)。那是再明白不過了。

A lot of these boys were green as green can be.這些男孩許多都是精力充沛無以復(fù)加的。

6.as……， so…… .

As rust eats iron， so care eats the heart.憂能傷人，猶如銹之蝕鐵。

SO相當(dāng)于in the same proportion; in like manner; in the same way(亦復(fù)如此)。為加強(qiáng)語氣，也可以在as前面加上just一詞。

As fire tries gold， so does adversity try courage.正如火能試金，逆境可以試人的勇氣。

As the human body is nourished by the food， so is a nation nourished by its industries.正像身體要靠食物營養(yǎng)一樣，要靠工業(yè)營養(yǎng)。
