问题描述
1.He is a man to whom work means as much as life. 他是一个把工作看作和生命一样重要的人。（ to whom …也为定语从句。〉
2. As much as half a foot of snow has fallen in Tianjin. 天津巳下丁半英尺厚的雪．
3. At this weather analysis center, as many as 35 different charts were
constructed for a given time. 当时在这个气象分析中心要为同一个规定的时间绘制多达3 5 种不同的图表．
问题：据说上面3句都是定语从句，第二个as是关系代词，我直接看这3个句子总感觉从句结构不全，似乎省略了一些成份，是否下面是完整的表达式：
1.He is a man to whom work means as much as is life. 他是一个把工作看作和生命一样重要的人。（ to whom …也为定语从句。)
2. As much as is half a foot of snow has fallen in Tianjin. 天津巳下丁半英尺厚的雪．
3. At this weather analysis center, as many as are 35 different charts were
constructed for a given time. 当时在这个气象分析中心要为同一个规定的时间绘制多达3 5 种不同的图表．

【答】你的理解有误。这些句子其实都是原级比较的用法。细分的话，as many as和as much as 表示比较时，主要有两种用法。
1. 纯粹原级比较：
Work means as much as life. 等于：Work means as much as life does.
2. 用在数量之前充当限定语，表示“达到.....之多；多达......”：
as much as half a foot of snow：多达半英尺厚的雪
as many as 35 different charts：多达35 种不同的图表
