问题描述:

1.It’s amazing for a snake to eat little or nothing for a long time.请问此句中的little or nothing
都是表示否定,不能去掉一个吗?
2.Millie can swim as well as i do.这句中的do是什么意思,不能去掉吗?比如Jack listens as carefully as Milke in class.

1 可以去掉一个 ,但加上little 是为了避免说话 绝对化.
2 do是代动词 等于 swim .在不影响意思的情况下 从句的谓语 可以省略掉.本句可以省略.
但有时 不能省略 因为有歧义.
如 he loves her as much as you.
1 he loves her as much as you do.
2 he loves her as much as he loves you.
