much作為副詞和much+名詞用辨析

章振邦的新編高級(jí)英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)法679頁(yè)：

書(shū)上說(shuō)，以下much是副詞，不同于much與名詞的搭配。

I think you can find rich men and poor just as much in farming as in any other occupation

As much as anyone he was a man of his time.

It is as much your responsibility as mine.

1) 怎么樣理解這里的much是副詞，而不是much+名詞結(jié)構(gòu)呢？

2）麻煩老師指出主句中的比較項(xiàng)是什么？

3）麻煩老師補(bǔ)全as比較分句以便理解？ 謝謝！



A as much as B 或者 as much A as B. 為比較結(jié)構(gòu)演變而來(lái)的準(zhǔn)并列連詞，連接二個(gè)相等的句子成分，意義等于A and B equally. 即A和B在數(shù)目上或程度上是相等的。既A，又B

此時(shí)much為副詞，在句中作程度狀語(yǔ)。沒(méi)必要補(bǔ)全。必須要補(bǔ)全也是可以的，但過(guò)于繁瑣。我補(bǔ)全如下，但不值得效仿，只不過(guò)為了叫你了解這個(gè)習(xí)語(yǔ)是如何來(lái)的。



I think you can find rich men and poor just as much in farming as in any other occupation.

much為程度副詞修飾介詞短語(yǔ)in farming。從句可補(bǔ)全的you can中的can為操作詞替代，替代can find rich men and poor。從句的空位為其后介詞短語(yǔ)的程度狀語(yǔ)，這個(gè)程度狀語(yǔ)不可補(bǔ)全，需要省略。

As much as anyone he was a man of his time.

= Hewas as much a man of his time as anyone was a man of ones time.

much 為副詞作程度狀語(yǔ)（注意限定詞much不可以修飾可數(shù)名詞），從句空位為程度狀語(yǔ)的地方。

It is as much your responsibility as mine.

much為程度副詞作狀語(yǔ)，從句空位為不可補(bǔ)全的程度狀語(yǔ)。
