* * *= Spanish high-speed trainAVEThe AVE is Spain's most modern train, and is designed to travel at speeds of over 300Km/h. It is a development of the French TGV, and Spanish, German and French companies are involved in its manufacture. It runs on a separate track from ordinary Spanish rolling stock, as the latter has a wider gauge than the European standard of the AVE track. The first AVE line was opened from Madrid to Seville to coincide with the Expo '92 in the latter city. The final section of the line from Madrid to Barcelona is under construction, and this will eventually extend to the French border. Further lines are being built and eventually it is intended that a single high-speed network will connect the cities of the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts via Madrid. These projects have given rise to a certain amount of controversy, and some have encountered problems, whether due to technical, geological or human factors.* * *m abr (= alta velocidad española) high speed train* * *ave nf1) : bird2)aves de corral : poultry3)ave rapaz orave de presa : bird of prey* * *ave n birdave rapaz / ave de rapiña bird of prey -

¿As, like o how?
As se usa para hablar de la función, uso, papel o trabajo de una persona o cosa (trabajó como camarera durante las vacaciones, she worked as a waitress during the holidays) o para comparar dos acciones o situaciones y expresar su similitud. En este caso es necesario disponer de un verbo: Entró de botones, como lo había hecho su padre veinte años antes. He entered as an office-boy, as his father had twenty years before.
Cuando como va seguido de un sustantivo o pronombre también puedes usar like para comparar dos acciones o situaciones: Es como su padre. He's just like his father. Sin embargo, si va seguido de una preposición, hay que usar as: En marzo, como en abril, llovió. In March, as in April, it rained.
Nunca debes usar how en comparaciones, porque sólo expresa la manera de hacer las cosas: ¿Cómo lo hiciste?, How did you do it?
cómo adverbio
1 (interrogativo) how: ¿cómo es de alto?, how high is it?
¿cómo estás?, how are you?
