1 . 表示时间，意思是“达……之久”。例如： You can keep the book as long as you like . During the holidays , I like to stay in the countryside as long as I can . 2 . 表示条件，意思是“只要”。引导条件状语从句，例如： As long as you tell truth , I”ll try to help you . You may take this book away so long as you return it on time . 3 . 表示原因，意思是“既然，由于，因为”。引导原因状语从句，例如： So long as the weather is changeable these days , we”d better get in wheat in time .　 So long as you are going to town tomorrow , you can do something for me . 4．另外，as long as 还可以用于比较级as…as的句型中，表示像。。。一样长，如： My arms are as long as yours. 嗯，看来我才疏博浅了。。。 真不知道有那么的意思，也算学习了吧。那个百度百科我看了。
