问题补充:
分析一下这句话的语法We are not so interested in what the 500 students are reporting as in knowing the mean number of soft drinks consumed by all 50,000 students on campus.
答案:
Success lies not so much as in luckas in hardwork.
试比较下这个句子,不难看出,interested与我所举句子中的lie都是搭配in 的.
你所问原句翻译,应当是:相对于这500名学生的报告,我们对于50000名在校学生消费软饮料的平均数字更感兴趣.(或者更在意,更关心,看你上下文意思了,估计是一篇调查类说明文)
======以下答案可供参考======
供参考答案1:
not so...as...引导的是比较状语从句。as in konwing实际上as we are interested in konwing ....的省略表述方法,意思相对于....,我们更感兴趣的是.....。be interested in doing sth 意思是对...感兴趣
供参考答案2:
最好还提供以下上下文的话好理解得多
