 最常用一个词组：as soon as  一…就…，表示会尽快做某事

 另一个常词组：as long as ，只要…就…，既然…就…， 表示会尽量长地做某事
As long as you keep on trying, you'll achieve your goal.　只要你坚持努力，一定会实现你的目标。

You may stay here as long as you like. 你高兴在这儿待多久就待多久。

 现在，我们讲解"as … as …"的大众化用法。我们可以在第一个"as"后面放上一个形容词或副词，在第二个"as"后面放上一个比较对象，意思是和这个比较对象一样…
We're working as diligent² as before.　我们还像以前一样勤奋工作。
