Television is as much a part of our lives as are our meals,work,or school.为什么有两个谓语?television is ……are our meals……

Television is as much a part of our lives as are our meals,work,or school.
为什么有两个谓语?television is ……are our meals……

后面那个are是"our meals, work or school are"倒装后动词前置.

television is a part of our lives, as much as our meals, work or school are (a part of our lives).

因为是并列的as...as结构，就跟he shouts and cry,能理解了吗？
