| 词组 | same as |
| 释义 | same as 1. Several usage books, dating back to Krapp 1927, have warned against using the same as as an adverbial phrase in place of as or just as ("He acts the same as he used to" instead of " ... just as he used to"). No particular reasons are given for the warnings, but they are presumably attributable to the elliptical and somewhat informal quality of adverbial the same as: • Black folks have a right to hate white folks the same as white folks have a right to hate us —Dick Gregory, Avant Garde, January 1969 • Writers were at each other's throats in the thirties the same as they are today —Granville Hicks, American Scholar, Summer 1966 As and just as are more common in writing than the same as, but the same as is not incorrect. Note that it is actually more flexible in its application than is just as, in that the same in the phrase can be qualified: • ... function much the same as they did five hundred centuries ago —David R. Reuben, M.D., McCall's, March 1971 2. Another old controversy—a nearly dead issue now, though mentioned in Longman 1984—has to do with whether a clause following same should be introduced by as rather than that. Both are in fact in reputable use: • ... decades to get the same amount of information as they are gathering —Thomas L. Barnett, quoted in N.Y. Times, 9 Aug. 1973 • ... much the same acclaim that welcomed the book —Current Biography, March 1968 |
