“as long as” 是英语中常见的表达,意思是“只要”,用于引导条件状语从句。它表示某个条件成立时,主句的情况就会发生。
| 用法 | 含义 | 例句 |
| 引导条件 | 只要 | As long as you study hard, you will pass the exam. |
| 表示持续 | 一直 | She stayed there as long as she could. |
| 表示让步 | 即使 | As long as he is here, we can start. |
使用时注意,“as long as”后接一般现在时,主句常用一般将来时或情态动词。避免与“as soon as”混淆,后者表示“一……就……”。
