句子的主干结构是 A is as likely as B A和B具有同样可能性
可以把这个句子分成三个小句子
they are likely to be women.
they are likely to be men.
the likelihoods are the same.

这样更好理解了:他们可能是女人,也同样可能是男人

they are just as likely to be women as they are men
=they are more likely to be women than they are men
也就是说他们更可能是女人

如果这句话用在餐厅招聘的话,意思意思又不一样,也就是说,他们要招聘的服务员,他们更喜欢女性,而不是男性
