as often as 一般翻译为“每逢”。是不是当某件经常发生（或有一定频率）的事情出现时，就可用这个短语？
如果某件事情是一年出现一次（比如，生日、节日等），可以用这个短语吗？

as often as意思相当于whenever; every time; 每当，每逢
例句：
1. As often as he put anything into his mouth, whether for eating or drinking, the face of the Marchioness lighted up beyond all description.
每当他把吃的或者喝的东西送到口中时，侯爵夫人的面上总是泛起无法形容的光彩。
2. If lawiter hurl his thunderbolt as often as men sin, he will soon is out of thunderbolt.
假使朱庇特每当有人犯罪就大发雷霆的话，他手上的雷霆便会即将告磬。
3. I feel uncomfortable as often as I remember the situation in which Mary didn't agree with me over the matter.每当我想起玛丽在那件事情上和我意见相左我就不舒服。

其实把as often as翻译成“每当”“每逢”是意译，直译是“和……一样经常”，如If lawiter hurl his thunderbolt as often as men sin 假使朱庇特大发雷霆像有人犯罪一样经常的话……
毫无疑问该词应该像often这个单词本身的意思一样，要求所描述的事件有一定的发生频率，像生日这样一年才发生一次的事情，我以为用该词不妥。
