as far as的本義用法與引申義用法
一、用于本義
其意為“與……一樣遠(yuǎn)”“遠(yuǎn)至……”“一直到……”。如：

在否定句中也可用 so far as。如：

二、用于引申義
用于引申義時(shí)，有時(shí)也可用 so far as，其主要用法如下：
(1) 表示“就……的限度”“到……的程度”。如：

三、注意以下慣用搭配
(1) as [so] far as it goes 達(dá)到一定程度（通常并未如愿）

有時(shí)可省略as far as…后面的is concerned，但不算普通。如：
As far as the new development plan, I think we ought to be very careful. 關(guān)于新的發(fā)展計(jì)劃，我想我們應(yīng)當(dāng)十分謹(jǐn)慎。
(3) as far as the eye can see 就視力所能及
