The studies show that EQ is as important (as), if not more important than IQ. 括号内as到底该不该省
问题描述：
The studies show that EQ is as important (as), if not more important than IQ. 括号内as到底该不该省
答
研究表明,情商是非常重要的,如果不是(例如)比智商更重要
答
"The studies show that EQ is as important as, if not more important than, IQ."
"as xxx as " 这介词/副词是对照.不可以省!省了就不合乎语法.
例如: The bread was as hard as a brick. (如同/同样地)
除非当使用,一个"as" 就够了.例:
(1)We'll be able to talk as we go. (当...的时候)
(2) As I am leaving tomorrow, I've bought you a present.(因为)

注意: "more important than," 之后需要加一个豆号.
答
不该省.
if not more important是插入语,也就是说拿掉插入语,应该不影响句子本来的结构.
这里去掉插入成分,EQ is as important as IQ.
去掉第二个as就有语病了.
同理,not more important than,这面的than也不能省略.
