So long as as long as意思一樣嗎?

這是個好問題。沒錯。這兩個慣用語是可以在具有條件含義的上下文中互換使用的慣用語表達。 As long as或so long as意思是“ provided that', 'providing that', 'on condition that ”(只有當你這樣做)。示例: You are allowed to go as long as you let us know when you arrive. ( You can borrow the car so long as you don't drive too fast.只有在到達並通知我們後才能去。)示例: You can borrow the car so long as you don't drive too fast. (如果你說你不超速,我可以借給你一輛車。)但是,要知道, as long as能在比較的句子使用,不像so long as 。例子: This snake is as long as my arm. ( This snake is so long as my arm. )示例: This snake is so long as my arm. (這條蛇只要我的胳膊,就是一個不可能的句子。)
