as 的相关词组及用法

1. as do I ／as I do

a)He writes as his father did.她像她爸爸一样写作。

注:表示比较或方式的as从句一般使用正常语序。但就是,在正式语体中,也可以采用倒装,但不就是强制性的,而就是选择性的。例如:

b)She looks forward ,as does her secretary ,to the completion of the building.她像她的秘书一样盼望工程竣工。

c)When in Rome do as Romans do.入乡随俗。

2....as he is

a)Talented as he is,he is not yet ready to turn professional.别瞧她有天份,她还没把心用到专业上去。

注:这就是一种表示让步的分句,主要用于正式文体。Talented as he is ＝Though he is talented,as引出的主谓语倒装就是强制性的,因为若将as置于句首,就不就是让步状语从句了。由though引出的让步状语从句,也可以使用这种语序,但不就是强制性的。例如:

b)Coward though he is ,do not bully him.尽管她就是个胆小鬼,但不要欺负她。

3.as far as ／so far as

a)So far as I know,he will be away for three months.据我所知,她将离开这里三个月。

注:当as far as与so far as作“在……范围内……、一直到、到……那么远”解时,它们就是可以互换的。当表示形容词、副词同级比较时,要求在肯定句中使用as far as。例如:

b)We didn't go so／as far as the bridge.我们没有走到桥那么远。

4.as／so far as to do(doing)something意思就是:“竟到了……程度”。

a)At last,she went so far as to bring him to the apartment.最后,她竟把她带到了公寓。

5.as follows意思就是“如下的”。

a)His arguments are as follows.她的论点如下。

注:as follows就是固定成语,不管引出的事物就是单数还就是复数,都只能用as follows(＝as it follows),而不能用as follow。例如:

b)He explained it as follows .(＝His explanation was as follows .)她的说明如下。

6.as for／as to意思就是“至于、关于”。

a)Much pasture land is under water; and as for the grain,most of which has been ruined.大部分牧场都进了水,至于谷物,大部分都被冲毁了。

注:as for在语体上不如as to正式;前者着重话题的转换,因此,它不能用于文章的开头。例如: b)As to the question you raised in your last letter ,I think....关于您上封信提出的问题,我认为……。

7.as good as意思就是“差不多,几乎”。此外,该结构还保留其原意“与……一样好”。

10.as it were ／was(is)

b)He is ,as it were,a walking dictionary.她简直可以说就是一部活字典。

c)He is my best friend,my brother as it were.她就是我最好的朋友,可以说就是我的兄弟。

b)You can stay here as long as you want.您希望在这里呆多久就呆多久。
