这是新世纪大学英语综合教程第二册第一单元“I Forgive You”中的一句话.原句是“The saying 'forget and forgive' may roll off the tongue,but it's as shallow as it is short.” it指的是“Forgive and forget”.这句话的意思是:"宽恕并忘记",这句话谁都会脱口而出,但实际上既简单又肤浅. 平时我们学的句子是:Jim is as smart as Bob.Jim 和Bob一样聪明. 这里我们使用了一个方试状语而不是一个名词或者代词.直译就是:这句话像它本身那样短小一样很肤浅. 其它的例句:She is not as diligent as she used to be.她不像以前那样勤奋了.
