1、Many people ran to their local supermarkets to buy as much spaghe-tti as they could.许多人都跑到当地超市尽可能多买意大利面。(P94)
【用法详解】①本句中的 to buy as much spaghetti as they could是动词不定式短语,在句中作目的状语。可以转化为 so that 或 in order that引导的目的状语从句,即 so that/in order that they could buy as much spaghetti as they could.
②as...as sb. can/could 意为“某人尽可能...”,相当于 as..as possible。as...as 中间接形容词或副词的原级、“many+复数名词”或“much+不可数名词”。

=I'll finish the work as soon as possible.
