He was all gentleness to her.他对她非常温存。 To his superiors, he is humility itself。对于长辈，他极为谦逊。 分析：该结构原来是表示某种性质达到极点的一种说法，有“非常”、 “尽管”、“一味”、“尽”的含义，有时甚至可以译为“。。。。的化身”、 “。。。。的具体化”。普通复数名词用于“all”之后，也是表达这种概 念。 He is all smiles.他一味地笑。 She is all eyes.她盯着看。 I am all anxiety.我真担心。 He is all attention.他全神贯注地听着。 2.Something (much) of / nothing (little) of Mr.Li is something of a philospher.李先生略具哲学家风范。 Mr. Wu is nothing of a musician.吴先生全无音乐家的风味。 Mr. Lu is very much of a poet.陆先生大有诗人气派。 Mr.Liu is little of a scholar.刘先生几无学者风度。 分析：此为表示“程度”的形容词短语，有时可以当作副词翻译。 Something of ＝to some extent （某程度），在问句和条件句中 则用anyting of （略有、多少）。nothing of 译作“全无、毫无”。 全国唯一专注北外考研专业课高端辅导品牌 相类似的情况： to be something of = to have something of + 名词＋in ＋代 名词 He is nothing in ability of an orator = He has nothing of an orator in his ability.他毫无演说家的才能。 这类名词的用法，可以处理为副词。 He has seen something of life.他略具阅历。他稍阅世。 Something of 与something like 区别：程度上有差异。 something like ＝ something approximateing in character or amount 指数量或性质略同的事物，又作somewhat(似乎、略 微)解释。 This is something like a pudding.此物略似布丁。 It shaped something like a cigar.其形状略似雪茄。 3.as...as 的三种用法; （1）He is as kind as his sister.他象他妹妹一样和蔼。 （2）He is as kind as honest.他既诚实又和蔼。 （3）He ia as kind as his sister is honest.他妹妹诚实，而他和 全国唯一专注北外考研专业课高端辅导品牌 蔼。 句式 1 表示两个不同的人相同的性质； 句式2 表示同一个人不同的性质； 句式3 表示两个人的不同性质。该句式中第一个as 为之时副词，第 二个as 为连词。所以，第一个as 后面为adj./adv.，而第二个as 后面为从句。 4.asas 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.asascan be It is as plain as plain can be （may be）.那是再明白不过了。 A lot of these boys were green as green can be.这些男孩许多 都是精力充沛无以复加的。 6.as, so As rust eats iron, so care eats the heart.忧能伤人，犹如锈之 蚀铁。 SO 相当于in the same proportion; in like manner;
