As … As 的 Combo 用法！
副詞 as + Adj/Adv + 連接詞 as = 一樣地 … 如同 … 一樣。例如 Please log in as soon as (how soon) you get home. = 請登入一樣地早，如同你到家那麼早。本句中文雖然會翻譯成「一…就…」，然而筆者建議千萬別這樣去學英文。應該要去了解這句英文「字面上」到底在說什麼，然後去體會它與中文順序不同的地方。前面 as soon 的 as 接了形容詞 soon = 早、快，所以第一個 as 是副詞。然而第二個 as 則是連接詞用法，意思是「如同」詳見右方 tag 文章裡 as 的基本用法介紹。

As = 因為 = 當 VS because, since, for, when, while — 英語用法介紹
當「因為」使用時，As / Since 的理由很明顯，是一種補充語氣的用法。例如 We should head back since/as it’s starting to rain. 至於 for 則是用於文學體，會搭配一些文藝的用語，並特別注意要搭配「逗號」。例如 Abigail lowered her head and wept, for she knew her Tom was dead. 正常狀況，就使用 because / because of / owing to / due to 例如 The concert has been cancelled owing to lack of interest. 如果要強調順序，可使用 as a result of / as a consequence of / in the wake of，口語上則可以說 thanks to。詳參 → 英語描述「因為＆結論＆因此＆結果」 ←
