As 패턴, 차이점, 비교 영어로

As ~ As ~ 패턴은 차이점에 대해 말할 때 필요한 패턴이다.

 

Part 1 (특징, 성격, 성질)

A가 B보다 좋아요 = B는 A보다 나빠요 = B는 A만큼 좋지 않아요 (이런 표현을 써야 함)

• A는 B보다 커요 >> A is bigger than B.
  =B는 A만큼 크지 않아요 >> B is not as big as A.
• 내 친구가 나보다 키가 크다 >> My friend is taller than me.
  =나는 내 친구만큼 키가 크지 않다 >> I'm not as tall as my friend.
• 오늘이 어제보다 추워 >> Today is colder than it was yesterday. / It's colder than it was yesterday.
  =어제는 오늘만큼 춥지 않아 >> Yesterday wasn't as cold as today. / Yesterday, it wasn't as cold as it is today.
• 리메이크가 원작보다 좋은 것 같아 >> I think the remake is better than the original.
  =원작이 리메이크만큼 좋지 않은 것 같아 >> The original is not as good as the remake.

 

Part 2 (정도의 차이)

정도의 차이 비교이다. Part1 과의 차이점은 Be동사가 아니라 일반동사를 사용한다는 것.

Not [action verb] + as + adj + as ~ (비교대상) 을 써서 부사로 정도의 차이를 비교할 것.

As 이전이 full sentence라면, 2번째 as 뒤에도 full sentence로 페어를 맞춰야 함

2번째 as 뒤가 S+V가 되는 경우:

• 그녀는 저만큼(제가 여행하는 것 만큼) 여행하는 걸 좋아하지 않아요.
