在學英語的過程中，很多時候想表達「盡量～」之類的意思，但很多人可能不知道用英語該怎麼說。

因此，在本文中，我們將解說日常會話中可以使用的英語，也介紹了例句和其他相關表達，請作為參考，來增強自己的英文能力吧！

「盡量」的英語表達

用英語表達「盡量」時，您應該記住以下兩個表達方式。

・as ～ as possible
・as ～ as you can

讓我們來仔細瞧瞧。

as ～ as possible

表達「盡量」的一種方式是「as 〜 as possible」。

一般來說，有兩種模式：「as 副詞 as possible」和「as many / much 名詞 as possible」。

<as 副詞 as possible>

在「as」之間放入副詞，代表「盡量做～」，從而修飾動詞。

經常用作副詞的例句如下：

・盡快地
as soon as possible
（我們也一起記住這個慣用語，簡稱為「ASAP）
・盡量多
as much as possible
・盡快地
as fast as possible
・盡量慢
as slowly as possible
等等

I want to finish my homework as soon as possible to play a lot of video games.
我想盡快完成作業，這樣就可以玩很多電動。

You should study English as much as possible.
你應該盡可能多學英語。

Please run as fast as possible to catch the bus.
請盡快跑去趕公車。

Could you speak as slowly as possible, please?
請你盡量說得慢一點好嗎？

<as many / much 名詞 as possible>

在「as many / much 〜 as possible」的「~的部分」放入名詞，代表「盡量多的～」。

例如，可以有以下組合：

・盡量多的書
as many books as possible
・盡量多的朋友
as many friends as possible
・盡量多的水
as much water as possible
・盡量多的錢
as much money as possible

「many」用於可以計算的名詞（可數名詞），而「much」用於無法計算的名詞（不可數名詞）。

You should read as many books as possible.
你應該盡量多看書。

I tried to make as many friends as possible on the first day of school.
開學第一天，我試著盡量多交朋友。

Drink as much water as possible before going into the sauna.
進入蒸氣浴之前盡量多喝水。

I’ll save as much money as possible for my future.
我會為了將來盡量多存錢。

as ～ as you can

另一個可以代表「盡量」的表達，是「as 〜 as you can」。

只要將「as 〜 as possible」的「possible」改為「you can」，意思幾乎是一樣的。

此外，「you can」的部分，其主詞會根據上下文而發生變化，變為「I can」和「she / he can」等。

讓我們來看看兩種模式：「as 副詞 as you can」和「as many / much 名詞 as you can」。

<as 副詞 as you can>

「as 副詞 as you can」，是在「as」之間放入副詞來修飾動詞，代表「盡量做～」。

例如，您可以這樣用：

・儘早
as early as you can
・盡量寬
as large as you can
・盡量高
as high as you can
・盡力而為
as politely as you can
等等

I have to go to the office as early as I can tomorrow morning.
明天早上我必須儘早去辦公室。

I’m going to draw a picture as large as I can.
我打算盡量把圖畫大一點。

Jump as high as you can and touch the bar.
你盡量跳高並摸到桿子。

We should speak to our customers as politely as we can.
我們應該盡量有禮地與客戶交談。

<as many / much 名詞 as you can>

「as many / much 名詞 as you can」代表「盡可能多做」，和「as many / much 〜 as possible」幾乎是一樣的意思。

根據名詞類型的不同，用法也不同，例如「many」用於可數名詞，「much」用於不可數名詞。

您可以使用下列組合。

・盡量多的字數
as many words as you can
・盡量多的襯衫
as many shirts as you can
・盡量多的消息
as much information as you can
・盡量多的牛奶
as much milk as you can

其他表達

我們也精心挑選另外三種與「盡量」相關的表達。

・try to 動詞
・if possible
・〜to the limit

try to 動詞

「try to 動詞」代表「嘗試～」，表達努力的意思。

・as ～ as possible
・as ～ as you can

與以上組合起來，可以建立如「我會盡力～」之類的細微差別。

I’m trying to figure out the best way to learn English.
我正在努力尋找學英語的最佳方法。

I tried to study as hard as possible for the exams.
我盡力為考試努力學習。

I always try to speak English as clearly as I can.
我總是試著盡量清楚地說英語。

if possible

「if possible」代表「如果可能的話」。

它經常用來詢問，或建議某件事是否可行，同時也表明條件。

主詞+動詞通常位於「if」之後，因此這是有點不規則的形式。

I’d like to talk to you after the meeting, if possible.
如果可以的話，我想在會後和你談談。

If possible, could you pick me up on the way back home?
如果可以的話，你回家路上能來接我嗎？

I want to cancel my reservation if possible.
如果可以的話，我想取消預約。

〜to the limit

「〜 to the limit」代表「到～極限」。

表示某種行動/情況的極限，或是無限制。

I tend to push myself to the limit when I’m trying to make something happen.
當我想完成某件事的時候，我傾向於將自己推向極限。
