请路过的各位帮我看下这两个句子,
1.It is generally believed that teaching is as much an art as it is a science.
意思为：人们普遍认为,教学时一门科学,同时也是一门艺术.
其中“as much an art as”,as…as怎么翻译?much是修饰不可数名词的,可后面的an art是可数的,这是什么情况?
2.He recited as much of the poem as he could remember.
意思为：他尽可能把记住的诗都背诵出来了.
在这句话里as…as怎么翻译?much of poem应该是可数的吧.

Answer 1

1.It is generally believed that teaching is as much an art as it is a science.
首先,as much an art 中的much不是表示数量,而是表示程度,所以不存在可数与不可数的问题；much前面的as是副词,修饰much,而后面的as是连词,用来连接后面的从句,组成比较状语从句；so /as + adj + a/an + 单数可数名词 + as从句,这种句式很多,例如：
1）、Adria is as much a cook as (he is) an artist.（指厨艺和画工差不多）
2）、He is not so much a genius as a hard worker.与其说他是天才,不如说他很努力.
2.He recited as much of the poem as he could remember.
这句话把句子稍加改动想必您会明白：
He recited as much of the poem as possible so that he could remember it.
