　1.all+抽象名词/抽象名词+itself = very + adj.　He was all gentleness to her.他对她非常温存。　To his superiors, he is humility itself。对于长辈，他极为谦逊。　分析：该结构原来是表示某种性质达到极点的一种说法，有“非常”、“尽管”、“一味”、“尽”的含义，有时甚至可以译为“。。。。的化身”、“。。。。的具体化”。普通复数名词用于“all”之后，也是表达这种概念。　He is all smiles.他一味地笑。　She is all eyes.她盯着看。　I am all anxiety.我真担心。　He is all attention.他全神贯注地听着。　2.Something (much) of / nothing (little) of　Mr.Li is something of a philospher.李先生略具哲学家风范。　Mr. Wu is nothing of a musician.吴先生全无音乐家的风味。　Mr. Lu is very much of a poet.陆先生大有诗人气派。　Mr.Liu is little of a scholar.刘先生几无学者风度。　分析：此为表示“程度”的形容词短语，有时可以当作副词翻译。Something of =to some extent(某程度)，在问句和条件句中则用anyting of(略有、多少)。nothing of译作“全无、毫无”。　相类似的情况：to be something of = to have something of + 名词+in +代名词　He is nothing in ability of an orator = He has nothing of an orator in his ability.他毫无演说家的才能。　这类名词的用法，可以处理为副词。　He has seen something of life.他略具阅历。他稍阅世。　Something of 与something like区别：程度上有差异。　something like = something approximateing in character or amount指数量或性质略同的事物，又作somewhat(似乎、略微)解释。　This is something like a pudding.此物略似布丁。　It shaped something like a cigar.其形状略似雪茄。　3.as...as 的三种用法:　(1)He is as kind as his sister.他象他妹妹一样和蔼。　(2)He is as kind as honest.他既诚实又和蔼。　(3)He ia as kind as his sister is honest.他妹妹诚实，而他和蔼。　句式1表示两个不同的人相同的性质;句式2表示同一个人不同的性质;句式3表示两个人的不同性质。　该句式中第一个as为之时副词，第二个as为连词。所以，第一个as后面为adj./adv.，而第二个as后面为从句。　4.asas any / as as ever　He is as great a statesman as any = He is as great a statesman as ever lived.他是一位稀有的政治家。　5.asascan be　It is as plain as plain can be (may be).那是再明白不过了。　A lot of these boys were green as green can be.这些男孩许多都是精力充沛无以复加的。　6.as, so　As rust eats iron, so care eats the heart.忧能伤人，犹如锈之蚀铁。　SO相当于in the same proportion; in like manner; in the same way(亦复如此)。　为加强语气，也可以在as前面加上just一词。　As fire tries gold, so does adversity try courage.正如火能试金，逆境可以试人的勇气。　As the human body is nourished by the food, so is a nation nourished by its industries.正像身体要靠食物营养一样，国家要靠工业营养。　7.It is in (or with)as in (or with)　It is in life as in a journey.人生好比旅途。　It
