1、在表示during the whole time that(长达……之久)或while(只要)的含义时,往往用as long as。例如:As long as there is life there is hope. 留得生命在,不怕没希望.
2、在表示on condition that, provided that或if(只要,如果)的含义时,用as long as或so long as的情况均很常见。例:I'll accept any job as / so long as I don't have to get up early. 只要不必早起,任何工作我都可以接受.
3、在表示since, considering that(既然,因为)的含义时,多用as long as。例:As long as you are going, I'll go too. 既然你要去,那么我也去.
4、有时,as / so long as与if only同义,由它引导的状语分句可不依附主句而单独使用,表示说话人的希望、愿望或遗憾心情等.如:
-It's said it's going to turn colder and freeze later on. 听说过些时候天气要变冷,有冰冻.
-As long as it doesn't spoil the weekend. (=I hope that it doesn't spoil the weekend.) 只要不把周末弄糟了就没事.
