一、as作连词的用法 as的用法 as意为"和……一样",表示同级的比较。使用时要注意第一个as为副词,第二个as为连词。其基本结构为:as+ / +as。例如: (1)This film is as interesting as that 这部电影和那部电影一样有趣。 (2)Your pen writes as smoothly as 你的钢笔书写起来和我的一样流畅。 其否定式为not as/so +/ +as。例如: This dictionary is not as/so useful as you 这本字典不如你想象的那样有用。 若有修饰成分,如twice, three times, half, a quarter等,则须置于第一个as之前。例如: Your bag is twice as expensive as 你的袋子比我的贵一倍。 几个关于as的常见句型: (1)as possible Please answer my question as soon as 请尽快回答我的问题。 (2)as usual/before She looks as pretty as 她看起来和以前一样漂亮。 (3)as long (引导条件状语从句) It took us as long as three years to carry out the 我们花了长达三年的时间才完成这项计划。 (4)as far as He walked as far as the railway station yesterday 昨天傍晚,他一直散步到火车站。 (5)as well as She cooks as well as her mother 她烧菜烧得跟她母亲一样好。 一些带有as结构的常见短语归纳: as busy as a bee像蜜蜂一样忙碌 as easy as ABC像ABC一样容易 as deep as a well像井一样深 as light as a feather像羽毛一样轻 as soft as butter像黄油一样软 as rich as a Jew像犹太人一样富裕 as用作连词引导时间状语从句 as与when,while都是引导时间状语从句的从属连词,含义都是"当……的时候"。但它们有区别:用when时,从句的动作可以与主句的动作同时发生,也可以先于主句的动作发生;用while时,从句的动作为一过程,主句动作与从句动作同时进行或在从句动作过程中发生;用as时,主句和从句的动作同时发生,具有延续的含义。例如: (1)It was snowing when he arrived at the construction 他到达工地时,天正在下雪。 (2)He was watching TV while his mother was 他母亲做饭时他在看电视。 (3) You will grow wiser as you grow 你会随着年龄的增长而越来越聪明。 as用作连词引导原因状语从句 as,because,since都可以表示因果关系,连接原因状语从句,含义是"因为,由于",但它们有区别:because表示的语气最强;as一般放在句首,语气较弱,较口语化;since常常用在书面语中,表示多为对方已知的、或稍加分析便可得知的原因,有时可译作"既然"。例如: (1) He will succeed because he is in 他一定会成功,因为他很认真。 (2) Since you are so sure of it he”ll believe 既然你对此如此有把握,他会相信你的。 (3) As rain has fallen, the air is 因为下过雨,空气比较清爽。 as作连词引导让步状语从句 as与although (或though),however (或no matter how)等都可以引导让步状语从句,含义是"虽然,尽管",但它们有区别:although语气稍正式些,可放在句首,也可放在句中,主句中不能再用but,但可以用yet;as所表示的语气较强,引导的让步状语从句用倒装语序;however引导让步状语从句时,它的后面可跟形容词或副词,也要用倒装语序。例如: (1) Although he is quite old, he still jogs every 他虽然年纪相当大,仍然每天慢跑。 (2) Strange as it may seem, nobody was injured in the 这次意外虽然显得令人不可思议,却没有人受伤。 (3) However hard he may try, he will not attain his 无论他怎样努力也达不到目标。 二、as作关系代词的用法 关系代词as引导定语从句时,既可以单独使用,也可以与其他词连用,其用法要比that和which更为复杂。 as引导定语从句与其他词连用 ①用于the as结构中 This is the same book as I read last 这本书和我上周读的那本是一样的。 ②用于as结构中 I don”t like such books as he 我不喜欢他推荐的那些书。 ③用于"so + + a/an + (单数) + as "结构中 I am not so strong a man as I 我已经没有从前那么强壮了。 as单独引导定语从句 as单独引导定语从句时,先行词可以是一个词,也可以是一个句子或短语。例如: (1) She is late, as is often the 她迟到了,这是经常的事。(先行词是整个主句) (2) To shut your eyes to facts, as many of you do, is 对事实视而不见--你们好多人都是如此的愚蠢。(先行词是不定式短语) 三、as作介词的用法 as作介词,意思是"作为","以……身份"。例如: He came to China as a tourist five years 他五年前以游客的身份来过中国。 四、as作副词的用法 to the same degree or amount; equally "相同地","同样地"。例如: They don”t have as many 他们没有同样多的飞机。
as可用作连词,引导比较、时间、原因及方式等四种状语从句,应注意的是,引导的比较状语从句往往有省略;引导的时间状语从句一般用一般现在时而不用一般将来时;引导原因状语从句时与“Because”和“since”引导的从句比较起起来语气最弱。本题就是比较状语从句,是一种省略的用法。as作介词,意思时“作为”,“以……身份”。例如:He came to China as a tourist five years 而表示像…一样时,like通常作介词用,而介词后面通常接名词,代名词和动名词。as in Australia“和在澳大利亚一样”。As一词的词性通常为介词、副词和连词,其意思也较为简单,如:“象”,“像”,“作为”,“虽然”,“当时候,”“因为”,等等。但是,它的具体用法,对于广大考生来讲,在平时的学习中,成为一大疑难点,大学英语四级考试中,虽出现不甚频繁,但却是一拦路虎。试举一例:As_________announcedintodayspapers,theShanghaiExportCommoditiesFairisalsoopenonS(9701)A)beingB)isC)tobeD)been这一道题,很多考生认为该选A),其实不然。若选A),being单独使用就可以表示原因,如:Beingill,I我今天病了,没法去上课。而这里不表原因。而且,as单独使用也可表原因,如:Asyouarehere,既然你在,我们就聊聊。那么,as在这里的用法是什么呢?不是介词,不是连词,而是关系代词,等于“正如一样。”所以,该句应理解为:正如今天报子讲的那样,上海出口商品交易会也在礼拜天举行。答案为B。究其原因,在于学习方法不当,难以掌握用法。笔者分析了近十年的语法考题,试着以as在考试中的考法来巧记用法,希望对广大考生有所帮助。一、主要考固定搭配,如:suchas,solongas等。Studiesshowthatthethingsthatcontributemosttoasenseofhappinesscannotbebought,___________agoodfamilylife,(9706)A)asforB)inviewofC)incaseofD)suchas此题比较简单,应选Dsuchas在这里表示列举。Asfor主要用于谈话中,“至于。”常见的固定搭配还有:asregards关于asaresultof由于asarule通常serveas作为asfollows如下regardas把…看作consideras/lookonas把…看作beknownas以…著称asto至于aswellas/aswell和,也asfaras…concerned就…而言asthough虽然asyet到目前为止mightaswell还是…好not…somuchas与其说…不如说二、作为关系代词,用于关系从句中。Ihopealltheprecautionsagainstairpollution,_________suggestedbythelocalgovernment,A)whileB)sinceC)afterD)as此题较难,也往往是考试的重点。While作为连词,表示“当…时候”,也表示对比;Since表原因;as可表示“当…时候”,也表原因,但在这里却作为关系代词所以应选D。,“正如…一样”。三、As用于让步状语从句中,等于though,although,表示“虽然”,但结构不一样。As的结构为:形容词/副词 as 主语 谓语;though的结构为:Although/Though 主语 谓语。如:__________,(0006)A)AlthoughmuchhelikesherB)MuchalthoughhelikesherC)AshelikeshermuchD)Muchashelikesher此题也往往是考试的重点突破点在于分清二者的结构。答案为D。四、用于倍数表达中。ThediameteroftheSunismorethan100timesasbigasthatoftheE倍数的表达公式也是考点中的重点。由as构成的公式也是重点。Americanseat__________(9806)A)twiceasmuchproteinB)twiceproteinasmuchtwiceC)twiceproteinasmuchD)proteinastwicemuch由as构成的倍数表达公式为:倍数 asmuch/many 名词 as分句;数字 timesas 形容词/副词原级 as分句。所以此题应为A。五、As常用于同等级的比较句型中,要求as前后的结构一定要对等。TheboyspentasmuchtimewatchingTVashe_________(0201)A)doesB)hadC)wasD)did这种题型是考试中的难点。其基本结构为:asmuch/many 名词 as分句。因为as前的谓语为spent,as后的动词也应为过去时。所以答案为D六、As 形容词/副词原级 asThecomputerrevolutionmaywellchangesocietyas__________asdidtheIndustrialR(0001)A)certainlyB)insignificantlyC)fundamentallyD)comparatively答案为C。七、As作为连词,表示“当…时候”和when,while的区别。Ihadjuststartedbackforthehousetochangemyclothes________I(9706)A)asB)whenC)afterD)while在这里的用法,as表示伴随“”;while表示某一时间内进行的动作;when表示时间点。所以答案为B。又如:Whileshereadthepaper,I她看报期间,我打扫厨房。I他打来电话时,我跳了起来。Astheelectionapproached,随着大选临近,骚乱越来越凶了。八、和so/such搭配表示目的或结果。HI九、asitis和asitwereasitis表示“实际上”;asitwere“也可以说”。Wehadhopedtofinish,butasitis,weprobablywon’Heis,asitwere,amodernSherlockH
