Abstract
It is observed in English composition classes that Japanese students often use idiomatic expressions like "as ... as one can/possible", "as long as" or "as far as" to translate Japanese limitative phrases suru-dake or suru-kagiri. But some of the English sentences which are produced using these English expressions are inappropriate.
We compare the English sentences using "as ... as one can/possible" and "as ... as one want /like" with the Japanese adverbial clauses which have -dake, and discuss a parallelism seen in the English structure with the comparative of equality and the Japanese clause with -dake. We also tried to analyze the English sentences with "unless" and "as far/long as" to know the proper equivalents which correspond to the Japanese adverbial with -kagiri, considering such factors as 'scope', 'limit' and 'duration' given by the English verbs employed in the structures.

VERB -kagiri   →  IF S + V
           AS FAR AS S + V
           AS LONG AS S + V
           OTHERS

VERB NOT -kagiri → IF S + V NOT
           UNLESS S + V
           AS LONG AS S + V NOT
           OTHERS
