the teacher encourages us to speak English as much as possible 中的 possible 为什么不用 possibly

题目

the teacher encourages us to speak English as much as possible 中的 possible 为什么不用 possibly
encourage 不是动词吗 为什么不用副词possibly.感激不尽!

答案

因为as...as是两者进行比较,而实际上【as much as possible】
是【as much as it is possible】的省略,所以【possible】不是修饰speak,而是修饰【it is】
【much】才是修饰【speak】
翻译：我们老师鼓励我们尽可能多说英语.
