People are not so
honest as they once were. The temptation to steal is greater than
ever before -- especially in large shops.
人們不再像以前那樣誠實了。偷竊的誘惑力比以往任何時候都更強烈 -- 特別是在大的商店裡。
as…as… 和……一樣（as+ adj./adv. +as +比較物件）
This case is as light as that one.
It is as heavy as that one. 這個東西和那個東西一樣重
as…as…的否定形式是not so…as…/not as…as…
It is not as heavy as that one. 這個東西不如那個東西重
I am taller than you/you are not as tall as I.
less +原級 +than＝not as…as…=not so…as… 不如……那樣……（比較狀語從句）
I am not so lucky as those fisherman.
once 表示“以前，曾經”時只能與動詞的過去式連用：
He once worked at a large company.
the temptation to steal 偷竊的誘惑力
The temptation to smoke is strong for him. （to smoke為不定式）
要表現現在與過去的比較, 有兩種方式 :
① they are 與 they were 或 it is /it was等在用不同時態比
they are 與 they were 在用不同時態比
You are more beautiful than you were. 你比過去漂亮多了
You look better than you were. (省略句 : You look better.)
Is this your car? It was my car. 以前是我的車子。
You were worse. （表示You are better.你過去更差勁, 表示現在比以前更好了）
I think 我想……
I thought 我原以為……
② 用短than ever before
People are not so honest as before. = People are not so honest as they once were.
