as can be seen

核心问题 1

(1) ____ is generally accepted, economical growth is determined by the smooth development of production. A. What B. That C. It D. As(全国研考,95-8)

谢振元教授主编《研究生入学考试英语复习指南(1997)》(中国人民大学出版社)在解答上题时说：“(D)是正确答案。事实上此处为 As is = Just as it is... 相当于一个从句的主要部分。即前半句是主从句，后半部分是主句，形成复合句。”

(2)____ can be seen from the comparison of these figures, the principle involves the active participation of the patient in the modification of his condition. A. As B. What C. That D. It(全国研考,99-5)

谢振元教授编著的《历年英语考研试题精解及模拟试题》(中国人民大学出版社,1999, p.13)对上题作了如下解答：

“(A)…As 如填入空白处,则本句的前半句相当于一个状语从句,可以译成‘正如这些比较图所示……’”

请问上面的 as 是连词吗？它引导的从句是状语从句吗？

词典解答 1

该书编著者说上两题中的 as 是正确答案, 这无可争议。但是他们说, As is = Just as it is, as 从句相当于一个状语从句, 这就不仅没有说到点子上, 而且会产生误导作用。因为这里的 as 是关系代词, 引导非限制性定语从句, 它既可代表整个主句的内容 (如以上两题中的 as), 又可代表主句的部分内容。as 在定语从句中可以作主语 (如以上两题中的 as), 又可作宾语。这种 as 从句既可位于句首, 又可位于句中或句末 (见 as 6^{6} )。而在 just as it is 中, as 是连词, 引导的是状语从句。as 引导非限制性定语从句的用法是各类标准化英语考试中的常考题, 必须熟练掌握它的特点。

核心问题 2

Some noun phrases have a prepositional phrase component, eg: the city of Rome, which is not a regular postmodifier, as in the people of Rome. (CGEL, p. 1284) [原译]有些名词短语中含有一个介词短语成分,如:the city of Rome,这并不是一个正规的后置修饰语,像 the people of Rome 那样。(《英语语法大全》,华东师范大学出版社,p.1774) 上面的译文是否忠实于原文?

词典解答 2

上面的句子应当译为：……如: the city of Rome, 这并不像 the people of Rome 那样, 是正规的后置修饰语。(参见 as 6^{6} )

as 10^{10}

词典解答 3

连词 as 在异常的语序中可表示让步, 尽管它在正常的语序中没有此种用法。这里所说的异常语序包括：

A. 形容词或副词 + as + 主语 + 连系动词 be 或实义动词(你提问的句子便属于此种用法, 故应选 D):

  1. Angry as he was, he managed to speak calmly. 虽然他很生气，但是他讲话很平静。

  2. People like his stories, because simple as the tales were, they would finish with a sudden change at the end, to the readers' surprise. (全国高考) 人们很喜欢他的小说, 因为故事虽然简单, 但结局出奇, 让读者吃惊。

  3. Much as I admire his courage, I don't think he acted wisely. 我虽然佩服他的勇气，但我认为他这样做是不聪明的。

  4. Hard as he tried, he did not pass the exam. 他虽然很努力,但这次考试没有及格。

B. 名词 + as + 主语 + 连系动词 be(注意句首的名词不带冠词):

  1. Child as he is, he knows a lot. 尽管他是个孩子，但懂很多事情。

  2. Boy as he was, he was chosen king. 尽管他还是个孩子，但却被立为国王。

C. 实义动词 + as + 主语 + 助动词 [如果没有助动词, 则要加上一个 do (does 或 did)]:

  1. Try as he may, he never succeeds. 尽管他很努力，但总是不成功。

  2. Change your mind as you will, you will gain no additional support. 即使你改变主意,你

也不会得到另外的支持。
