Benjamin: I want you to have everything you want, all of it. I'm just not sure how to reconcile this...
我想让你得到一切你想要的，我只是不知道怎么适应。

Daisy: Would you tell a blind man he couldn't have children? You be a father for as long as you can.
你会告诉一个盲人他不能有孩子吗？只要你还活着，你就能当爸爸。

I know the consequences. I've accepted that.
我知道会有什么后果，我已接受事实。

——《返老还童》

as long as: 只要

as long as 用法扩展：

1. 首先，as...as 是比较级，所以as long as 的意思是像……一样长，否定结构是not so long as. 注意：long 既可以指长度，也可以指时间。例如：

This line is four times as long as that one.
这条线是那条线的四倍长。
My pencil is not so long as yours.
我的钢笔没有你的长。
You can keep the book as long as you like .
这本书你愿意看多长时间都行。

2 . 表示条件，意思是只要。例如：

As long as you tell truth , Ill try to help you .
只要你说实话，我会尽力帮助你。
You may take this book away so long as you return it on time .
只要你准时把书还回来，你可以拿走它。

3 . 表示原因，意思是既然，由于，因为。例如：

So long as the weather is changeable these days , we'd better get in wheat in time .
因为近日天气可能变化，我们最好赶快收割麦子。
So long as you are going to town tomorrow , you can do something for me .
既然你明天到城里去，你可以为我做点事。
