interpret/dismiss/elect/accept/think of A as B.除了这些简单的词语外,当宾语A复杂时会后置于B,形式如下: v. as B A。我们来看一句话On the other hand he did not accept as well founded the charge made by some of his critics that while he was a good observer he had no power of reasoning.动词是accept,介词是as,as后直接跟的宾语B(形容词),A由于复杂后置到了B后,是the charge,后跟一系列的定语-made by some of his critics以及同位语-while he was a good observer he had no power of reasoning,这句话是说另一方面,他认为一些批评者的指控没有根据,指控内容是说虽然他是个好的观察者,但他没有推理能力。
当as作为连词时,可以表时间:随着....../当......时候(一般位于句首)。例句如下:As funding for science has declined, scientists have attacked "anti-science" in several books.随着用于科学的资金减少,科学家在一些书中攻击“反科学”论调。可以表原因:既然、由于=since。例句如下:We are obliged to them because some of these languages have since vanished, as the peoples who spoke them died out or became assimilated and lost their native languages.我们感激他们,是因为一些语言自此以后消失了,消失是由于这些语言使用者已经死去或者被同化,进而失去了他们本族语言。可以表让步:尽管、虽然,(as一定不能位于句首,位于句中第二个词)。例句如下:
In addition, difficult as it is to believe, there are desert fish which can survive through years of drought in the form of inactive eggs.另外,尽管很难相信,确实存在沙漠鱼,这些鱼以不活跃卵的形式在干旱中存活数年。可以表比较,as...as + 词/句子:和...一样、像...一样;not so......as + 词/句子:和...不一样、不像...那样;not so much...as...:与其说...不如说...。可以表方式,等于in the way that,按照、正如。
As作为关系词时,引导限定性定语从句:先行词前有such/the same;非限定性定语从句:修饰整个句子,比如As is known to all, ...;..., as is often the case;...,as you know,...。
