as可用作連詞,引導(dǎo)比較、時間、原因及方式等四種狀語從句,應(yīng)注意的是,引導(dǎo)的比較狀語從句往往有省略;引導(dǎo)的時間狀語從句一般用一般現(xiàn)在時而不用一般將來時;引導(dǎo)原因狀語從句時與“Because”和“since”引導(dǎo)的從句比較起起來語氣最弱。
as作介詞,意思時“作為”,“以……身份”。例如:He came to China as a tourist five years ago.
而表示像…一樣時,like通常作介詞用,而介詞后面通常接名詞,代名詞和動名詞。
as in Australia“和在澳大利亞一樣”。
as……as
AS +adj(原級)+AS
AS +adv(原級)+AS
as soon as 一……就
as soon as possible 盡可能快地
as early as possible 盡可能早的
as carefully as you can 盡可能認真地
as careful as you can 盡可能認真的
1。as是連詞,表示“隨著”的意義。lives是life的復(fù)數(shù),意義是“生活”。
2。as是連詞,表示“因為,由于”的意義。wanting是現(xiàn)在分詞,表示主動意義,wanting to buy cars=who want to buy cars。
As的用法小結(jié)
as可以作連詞、介詞及關(guān)系代詞和副詞。現(xiàn)將其用法小結(jié)如下:
(一)、 as作連詞的用法:
1.作“在-------期間,當(dāng)----的時候”引導(dǎo)時間狀語從句.注意與when、 while的用法區(qū)別。
①下列情形時,只用as, 而不用when或while。
1)用于表示同一個人的兩種動作交替進行,指一邊----一邊. 如:
The girl sings as she goes to school.
He looked behind occasionally as he went forward in the forest.
2)表示兩個同步發(fā)生的動作或行?意思是隨著-----的發(fā)展.如:
As time went on / by, she became more and more beautiful .
As children get older, they become more and more interested in everything.
3)表示兩個短暫行為或事情幾乎同時發(fā)生.如:I watched her as she read the book.
I thought of it just as you opened your mouth.
Just as the flying worm hit her face, she gave a loud cry.
4)接在名詞后面表示某一個年齡段時.如:
As a young man, he was active in sports.
②when作"當(dāng)……的時候"解,可以指較短的(一點)時間,也可指一段時間。如:When I was at college, I could speak several foreign languages. When the clock struck twelve, I had slept for 2hours.
③ while常表示一段較長的時間或一個過程,強調(diào)主句謂語動詞與從句謂語動詞同時發(fā)生。如:Work while you work. Play while you play.
2. As =Since 作"既然"、"由于"解,引導(dǎo)原因狀語從句,常用來表示已為人們所知或顯而易見的原因或理由。如: As he’s been ill for ages, I will help him.
As / Since you're not feeling well, you may stay at home.
As he wasn't ready , we went without him.
3. As =in the way that作"像"、"按照……的方式"解,引導(dǎo)方式狀語從句。如:
Do as I told you.
Remember, you must do everything as I do.
4. 用于as--- as或not / so/ as ---- as中,前一個as是副詞,后一個as是連詞,引導(dǎo)比較狀語從句。如:They helped the old as much as possible.
I don't speak English so/ as well as she does.
5. 表示雖然,盡管 等,引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句,常用倒裝語序,模式為:
adj. /adv. / n.+as +主語+謂語+主句。如: Young as he is, he knows much.
Tired as they were, they walked on.
6. 表示也------一樣。 She is a doctor, as was her husband.
(二)、 as作關(guān)系代詞,引導(dǎo)定語從句,表示正如,這一點.如:
He is very careful, as we all know.
As is well-known, Taiwan belongs to China.
另外,當(dāng)先行詞被the same, such等詞修飾時,常用as來引導(dǎo)定語從句。如:
Such a clever girl as she can learn anything quickly.
I was reading the same book as he bought yesterday.
(三)、as作介詞的用法.
1.表示好像。如:He dressed as a policeman.
2. 表示作為當(dāng)作。如:I found a job as a guide.
3. 當(dāng)某人是某身份時。如:As a child , she was sent to abroad.
4. as引導(dǎo)的介詞短語大多用作狀語,as譯為"作為";少數(shù)情況可引起賓語補足語。如:
As a Party member, I'll take the lead in everything. (狀語)
She works as a model. (狀語)
She has me as one of her best friends.(引起賓語補足語)
(四)、作副詞的用法 1 表示與------等同。如:This dress is twice as expensive as that one. 2 像,如等。如:As before, he remained unmoved.
總之,通過以上的分析,我們對as的詞性和用法有了比較全面的理解和把握,才能在實際的運用中做到心中有數(shù),應(yīng)付裕如。
