As的用法:
1.按传统用法,用as…as 表比较和用so…as 表比较二者有别。
so…as 结构传统上用于否定句,(如莎士比亚“不如井深” ),和疑问句中(如在如她所说的那样糟糕吗? ),和某些if 从句中(如在如果象你所说的那样糟,你就该离开)。
但so…as 结构在美国英语中日趋少见,而在所有语境中使用as…as 现在则是完全可以接受的。
在有as…as 和than 同时用作比较时,在书面语中,第二个as 应该保留。
一种写法He is as smart as,or smarter than,his brother,(他如他兄弟一般聪明,甚至超过他了),而不应写成He is as smart or smarter than his brother,这在正式文件中被认为是不可接受的。
在很多方言中,用as 代替that 如We are not sure as we want to go 或It's not certain as he left 。
这种结构在书面语中尚不成立。
当as 表示一个因果关系时,前面应有逗号,如She won't be coming, as we didn't invite her。
(她不会来这里,因为我们没有邀请她)。
当用于表示时间关系时,as 前没有逗号:She was finishing the painting as I walked into the room.[x]
She was finishing the painting as I walked into the room(我走进房间的时候她刚好画完画)。
2. 当as 引导一个从句且位于句首时,应注意弄清as 是表示“原因”还是表示“与…同时”。
句子As they were leaving,
I walked to the door 既可表示我向门口走去,因为他们离开了,也可表示在他们离开的时候,我向门口走去。
as 有时赘用,引导动词的补助成分诸如consider,deem,和account,。
如在他们将此认为是民权运动的里程碑。
认为此测量标准不必要。
这种用法也许源于词的类比用法regard 和esteem ,在此as 这种形式的用法是标准的:We regarded her as the best writer among us.[x]
我们认为她是我们中最好的作家。
as用法小结

① 作“当……的时候”解,引导时间状语从句,表示从句动作与主句动作同时发生、同时进行。
As he looked at her she made a face. 他看她时,她作了个鬼脸。
/ He san
g as he walked. 他一边走,一边唱。
② 作“由于”、“因为”解,引导原因状语从句,表示比较明显的原因。
由as引导的原因从句通常放在主句之前。

He is not so diligent as y ou. 他不如你勤奋。
(so…as…只用于否定句。
若为肯定句必须用as…as…)
④引导让步状语从句时,作“虽然”、“尽管” 解,这时,要将表语或状语提到主语之前,使句子部分倒装。
如果表语是名词,放在句首时不能加冠词。
Young as he is, he knows a lot. 尽管年轻,他懂得很多。
Old man as he is, he still works hard. 尽管他是个老人,他仍然工作很努力。
(2) as用作代词

/ I'm reading the same books as you. 我读的书与你读的书相同。

in the map. 正如你在地图上看见的那样,这两座城市相距甚远。
/ As everybody kno ws, all that glitters is not gold. 大家都知道,闪光的东西不都是金子。
3) as if (as though) 用作连词,作“就像…似的”“仿佛”解
(1) as if (as though)引起的方式状语从句或表语从句中动词一般用虚拟语气, be通常为were或was。
如从句动作与主句动作同时发生,从句用一般过去时;若从句动作在主句动作之前发生,从句用过去完成时。
Jane shouted in surprise as if she saw th e land. 珍妮惊喊着,好像看见了陆地。
/ Tom is talking about China as if he had been there. 汤姆正在谈着中国,好像他去过一样。
(2)若主句谓语动词为look,seem,taste,smell等词时,as if引导的表语从句常常使用陈述语气。

/ This m eat tastes as if it has already gone bad. 这肉尝起来好像已变坏了。
(3)当从句中主语和句子主语一致,从句谓语又包含动词be时,这个主语和be可以省略。

(4) as if (as though)可以接一个不定式短语。
He waved his hand to me as if to h ave something to tell me. 他向我挥了挥手好像有事要告诉我。
辨析:as,when与while
as,when,while作为连词,都有“当……的时候”的意思。
* as常可与when或while 通用,但它较强调主句和从句中的动作或事情同时发生。
因此,常作“一面……一面……”解。
* while常表示一段较长的时间或一个过程,强调主句的动词和从句的动词所表示的动作或状态是同时发生的。
用while引导的从句中用延续性动词。
As (When/While) I was walking down the street, l noticed a police car in fr ont of Number 37. 我沿着大街往前走的时候,注意到37号门前停着一辆警车。
/ When the clock struck twelve, all the lights went out. 钟敲12下时,灯全熄了。
/ W hen I went into the lab, the professor was doing an experiment. 当我走进实验室时,那位教授正在做实验。
/ Please keep quiet while others are studying. 别人在学习的时候,请保持安静。
/ While I was writing letters last night, he was wa tching TV. 昨晚我在写信的时候,他在看电视。
误:As he is old, my teacher works hard.
正:Old as he is, my teacher works hard.
尽管我的老师年龄很大了,但是工作很努力。
误:So as to catch the early bus, he got up very early.
正:He got up very early so as to (in order to) catch the early bus. 他起早是为了赶早班车。
