摘要:“as”这个词极其活跃,它在句中的使用率和使用范围之广是其他词所不及的。本文试对其各种用法归纳分类,以供参考。
关键词:as 用法
“as”的用法,笔者认为可以分关系代词、关系副词、指示代词、连词和介词五种,作指示代词用的“as”只出现于“as……as”句型,其中第一个“as”为指示代词,用法简单。但“as”作关系代词、连词、介词等时却极其复杂。另包含有“as”的成语和谚语更是不胜枚举。
一、“as”作关系代词
(一)“as”与别的词搭配用作关系代词
“as”常与“the same、such、so、as”等词搭配,构成“the same……as、such……as、so……as、as……as”之类句型。在下列句型中,都有一个代词或名词作“as”的先行词、主语、宾语、表语。如:
①The people here are already not the same as they were before.
②Such people as you describe are rare nowadays.
③Here is so big a stone as no man can lift.
④I have the same opinion as you.
(二)“as”单独作关系代词
“as”单独作关系代词时,它的先行词的情况比较复杂,它可以代表有关分句中的一种行为概念、一个相类似的名词或名词词组、形容词所表达的概念、一个分词所表达的概念、有关分句所表达的整个概念。如:
①To write a dull book,as any poor writer could do,was unworthy of him.
②The large-hearted and large-mined men are apt to be.
③She think her answer correct,as(=correct)it probably is.
④Absorbed as he was in a mathematical problem,he did not notice my enter-ing the room.
⑤As you might not realize,he really can’t lend you the money.
特别应注意,当“as”或“which”引导整个分句、整个谓语或述谓成份为先行项的非谓限制性关系分句时,其用法有以下几种情况:
(1)“which”和“as”都可以在svc/sv关系分句中作主语或主补,在svo关系分句中作宾语这样的结构中两者可以交替使用。如:
①He married her,as/which was nature.
②He is fond of music ,which/as I,m glad to hear.
(2)在svo关系分句中作主语时,通常要用“which”,而不用“as”。如:
He saw the girl,which delighted him.
(3)“as”虽可作关系代词,但仍然多少保留“理由”“比较”“方式”“等同”等意义,而关系代词“which”没有这些意义。另外,由“as”引导的关系分句通常在意义上不可与主句相悖,而且一般是有肯定词,对主句意义起辅助作用,表示“正如”等意义;而“which”分句则受此限,但“as”引导的关系分句有时也可能带有否定词,且这种分句常可作正面解释,对主语意义仍起相辅作用。“as”分句位置比较固定,通常位于句尾,不可移至句首。如:
①Mummy treats me just like a baby.(不用as)
②She has married again,which was unexpected.(不用as)
③He really can’t lend you the money,as you minght not realize.(起辅助作用)
二、“as”作关系副词和不定关系副词
这种用法的“as”常出现于“the same……as、such……as、as……as、so……as”句型中。
(1)“as”用作关系副词引导比较状语从句,如:
①She dances in so graceful a manner as her sister does.
②He worked as fast as a skilled worker.
(2)“as”用作不定关系副词,引导表语从句或宾补从句,如:
①This is as it should be.
②Leave the children as they are.
③Let’s keep it as it is.
三、“as”在一定句型中跟他词搭配或者单独作连词
(一) “as”在“such……as、so……as、as……as”句型中用作连接词引导状语从句或“such as”引导同位语从句
(1)He is not such a fool as not to be able to see that.(程度状语)
(2)She spoke so loudly as to be heard by all in the auditorium.(目的状语)
(3)I require books of reference,such as a giammar,a dictionary.(同位语)
注:作同位语时“such as”之前常用逗号隔开,否则会与定语从句相混淆。如:Dictionaries such as those are very valuable.(定语从句)
(二)“as”单独使用或跟别的词构成的复合连接词引导状语从句,表示各种概念
1.表示时间(time)
常用的与“as”有关的短语有“as、as soon as、so(as)long as、as often as”等,如:
As soon as he comes,I’11 tell him about it.
2.表示方式(manner)
常用的有“as、as if、as though”等,如:
We must do the exercises as the teachers told us.
3.表示原因(cause)
如:As he was not well,I went there alone.
4.表示条件(condition)
常用的有“so long as、as long as”等,如:
You can go out,as long as you promise to be back before 11 o’oclock.
5.表示程度(degree)范围
常用的有“so far as、as far as”等,如:
①As far as I know,she has little experience in this respect.
②I’11 help you as far as I can.
6.表示让步(concession)
常用的有“as、though”等,如:
①Shild as he is ,he can tell black from white.
②Young as he is ,be is equal to the task.
③Surrounded as we were by the enemy,we managed to march forward.
7.表示类比(parallelism)
常用的有“as、according as、in proportion as”等,如:
①You will be praised or blamed,according as your work is good or bad.
②Generally speaking,a man will succeed in proportion as he exerts himself.
以上七种,均为单独使用“as”或同其他词搭配的“as”作从属连词的用法。另“as”和“as well as”搭配起来可作等立连词。如:
①I don’t lie as well as you.你撒谎,我可不撒谎。
②I,as well as you,don,t lie.我跟你一样,也不撒谎。
用“A as well as B”这一句型时要注意三点:①A和B可以代表各种各样的同等成份;②重点在A,而不在B;③“as well as”在否定句中地位和标点不同时,全句意义也就不同。
四、“as”单独或跟别的词语搭配作介词
“as”用作介词,可以分为简单介词和复合介词:
(一)简单介词:根据介词所起的作用,大致可分为状语、定语、宾补和表语四类
1.状语
如:As a teacher of English,he has no equal.(原因)
I have come here as a journalist.(方式)
2.定语
如:She has got a position as a tescher of English.
3.宾补
如:①He treats me as an intimate friend.
②I considered the problem as settled.
4.表语
如:I’ll act as an interpreter.
(二)由as引出的复合介词,常用的有“as far、as to、as from、as of、as against、as regards”等
如:①As for me,I think I,d rather stay at home.
②As to that matter,I don,t believe it at all.
③The earth is small as against(与……相比)the sun.
④As redgards(关于)that matter,I have no objection.
五、与“as”有关的各种惯用短语习惯表达法
常用的习惯表达方式有“as good as、as well、as soon”等,这些表达方式可用来作状语等。
(一)作状语
1.as good as 实际上
He is as good as dead already.他实际上已经死了。
2.as well“不妨”“同样”“也”
“as well”作“也”解时,常与“and”或“but”搭配使用,此外还可以跟“may”或“might”搭配表示“等于”“不妨”等。如:
①I can do it as well .
②You might as well begin at once.
③I’m going to London and my sister,s coming as well.
3.as soon(as not)情愿=more willingly
如:He would go there sa soon as not.
4.(just)as soon宁愿=would rather
如:①I would(just)as soon go for a walk.
②I’d(just)as soon not go to the cinema tonight.
5.not so much as 甚至没=not even
如:She did not so much as glance at him.
6.as ofter as not常常 =very frequently
如:During the holiday season the trains are packed more ofter than(as)not.
7.as the crow flies笔直 =in a straight line
如:It is not more than thirty miles from London as the crow flies.
(二)作插入语
以下“as”用作插入语,实际上都同时具有状语的作用,但有其明显的特点:①在句中的位置比较自由,插前、插后或居中均可;②通常用逗号与句中其他部分隔开,在句中可有可无。去掉它,句子依然存在,且意义不变。如:
①As a rule(通常),we get up about 6 o’clock.
②As a matte of course(理所当然),I like English very much.
③As a matter of fact(事实上),John is an honest man.
④As a matter of routine(按照常规),a contract must be signed by the two parties concerned before it comes into force.
⑤As a starter(首先),I’d like to give you a talk about the nature of translation.
⑥This book gives,as it were(可以说是),a vivid picture of the Chinese revolulion.
(三)作定语
1.As many:同数=the same number of
如:He made fine mistakes in as many lines.
I waited for ten minutes ,they seemed as many hours.
2.as many as 数词:(整整,多达……)
如:I have been living here for as many as twenty–eight years.
