说明
比较状语从句和方式状语从句的倒装
核心问题
Our eating habits have changed, as has our way of life, and the fuel we need for our bodies is also different.
高中一年级第二学期使用的教科书(必修)第三页的这句话被注释为:
“as has our way of life 是个倒装结构, 意为: and our way of life has changed too.”
这样一来,这句话就成了一个并列分句。
但我认为这是一个方式状语从句。不知对否?请指教。
词典解答
该书的注释是不准确的(原句并不是描述两件并列的事)。但是,您说 as has our way of life 是方式状语从句,也是不对的(as 在这里并不作“按照”解)。其实,as has our way of life 是个比较状语从句。在比较状语从句和方式状语从句里,主语和谓语可以倒装,尤其是在主语较长时,例句见 as 。
[句意]正像我们的生活方式发生了变化一样,我们的饮食习惯也发生了变化……请做下面的英语试题:
