题目

as easily and openly as once they could 对这句话有点疑问?
原话是这样
What has happened is that people cannot confess fully to their dreams,as easily and openly as once they could,
最后的could后面是个逗号,后面还接有一段话的
1.as easily and openly as once they could 这段话是从句吗,如果不是从句,是什么?
2.once they could 为什么把once放在前面,而不是 as ……as they once could 或者 as ……as they could once
还有另外一个例句
My memory isn't as good as it once was
这句话中once为什么就放在了 it 和was中间，而不是放在前面 once it was

答案

1.as既可以用作连词引导多种状语从句,也可以用作关系代词引导定语从句,你这道题目中的as是引导比较状语从句.
2.once作为“曾经,一度”的意思时,如果修饰动词必须是放在动词前面,如果是be动词那就必须放在be动词之后,下面两个句子你看一下.
This book was once famous,but nobody reads it today.这本书从前很出名,现在没人看了
I once met your mother.我曾经见过你的母亲.
