He sees it as a loss of the sense of common public good and public courtesy, and says that adults suffer from it as much as children.他认为这是一种对公共利益和公共礼貌的丧失，并说成年人和儿童一样深受其苦。【说明】suffer from it very much，原级比较是 as much as，说明“受害程度一样大”。2. Language belongs to each member of society, to the cleaner the same as to the professor.语言属于社会的每一个成员，清洁工和教授都一样。【说明】to the cleaner (in)?the same?(way)?as to the professor。说明“语言属于不同阶层的人，其拥有方式是一样的”。
