核心问题
葛传槊:《英语惯用法词典》(p. 498)说:“as regards 里的‘regards’是 transitive verb(及物动词)。”这是不是说 as regards 引导的是一个从句呢?
词典解答
现代英语语法学家均把 as regards 看作是复合介词, 如同 as for, as to, with regard to, in regard to 一样。
-
As regards the car, I put an advertisement in the paper... (EED) 关于那辆汽车, 我已在报纸上登了广告……
-
As regards John, I will write to him at once. (JED) 关于约翰, 我将立即给他写信。
