2、as引導方式狀語從句
在英文中,as引導方式狀語從句是用來修飾句子謂語部分的。請看例句:
1)Darwin had a phrase to describe those ignorsnt of evolution:they “look at an organic being as a savage looks at a ship,as at something wholly beyond his comprehension”.
妙語點睛:這裡的as a savage looks at a ship做狀語,表示方式,修飾主句的謂語部分look at an organic being。此外,這裡有一個形容詞短語ignorant of evolution做定語,後置修飾those。
譯文:達爾文有句話描寫那些不懂得進化論的人們:他們“看待一種生物就像野蠻人看着船一樣,把它視為他們完全不能理解的東西。”
3、as引導方式狀語從句可倒裝
as引導方式狀語從句可以采用倒裝結構,此時的結構一般是“as+助動詞+主語,as往往是代替被省略的謂語部分”。
Some asian nations and regions reiterated their opposition to a war,as did many og their citizens who worry Bush has already given up on hopes for a peaceful resolution to the crisis.
妙語點睛:這裡as引導的從句的主語是many of their citizens,被後置,故是一個倒裝結構,完整的句子相當于as many of their citizens...reiterated their opposition to a war.
譯文:一些亞洲國家和地區重申了他們反對戰争的立場,他們的許多公民也持同樣的立場,因為他們擔心小布什已經放棄了和平解決這一危機的希望。
