such as用法

such as用法

一、表示举例

意为“例如,诸如此类的,像……那样的”,相当于like或for example。如:

There are few poets such as Keats and Shelly、像济慈与雪莱这样的诗人现在很少了。Adverbs are used to modify verbs, such as “quickly” in “she ran fast”、副词用来修饰动词,例如“她跑得快”中的“快”。

Animals such as rabbits and deer continue to be active all winter,finding food wherever they can 、像兔与鹿这样的动物整个冬天都就是很活跃的,它们到处寻找食物。

用于此义时的几点说明。如:

(1) 这类结构既可表现为“名词+such as+例子”,也可表现为“such+名词+as+例子”。如:

I enjoy songs such as this one、= I enjoy such songs as this one、我喜欢像这首歌一样的歌。

(2) 若后接动词,通常用动名词,有时也可用动词原形。如:

Don’t do anything silly such as marry him、不要做什么蠢事,比如说去嫁给她。

Magicians often perform tricks such as pulling a rabbit out of a hat、魔术师常常变从帽子里抓出兔子的戏法。

(3) 不要按汉语意思将such as用作such like。

(4) 其后不可列出前面所提过的所有东西。如:

正:I know four languages, such as Japanese and English、我懂四种语言,如日语、英语。误:I know four languages, such as Chinese, French, Japanese and English、我懂四种语言,

如汉语、法语、日语与英语。

(5) 在现代英语中,such as可与etc、连用。如:

They planted many flowers, such as roses, sunflowers,etc、她们种了许多种花,如玫瑰花、向日葵等。

They export a 1ot of fruits,such as oranges,lemons,etc、她们出口许多水果,如桔子、柠檬等。

二、表示“像……这样的”

其中的as 用作关系代词,引导定语从句,as 在定语从句中用作主语或宾语。此外,不要按汉语意思把该结构中的as 换成like。如:

He is not such a fool as he looks、她并不像她瞧起来那么傻。

Such men as he (is) are rare now、现在像她这样的人很少了。

三、表示“凡就是……的人(或事物)”、“所有……的人(事物)”

其意相当于everything that, all those, those that (who)等。其中的such 为先行词,as 为关系代词。如:

Take such (things) as you need、您需要什么就拿什么。

You may choose such as you prefer、您可挑选自己想要的东西。

Such (people) as have knowledge and skill will not want to work、有知识与技能的人不愁没有工作。

四、用作关系代词

有时such as 整个儿用作关系代词,用以引导定语从句。如:

We had hoped to give you a chance such as nobody else ever had、我们本来希望给您一个别人从未有过的机会。

Then I left it,feeling a weight at my heart such as I had never had before、然后我离开那里,心头感到一种前所未有的沉重心情。

五、用于such…as to do sth

表示结果,其中的such为限定语,as to do sth 表示结果。如:

It was such a loud noise as to wake everybody in the house、声音很大,屋里的所有人都被吵醒了。

You shouldn’t put such high prices as to frighten your customers off、您不应该要价这么高,以致把顾客都吓跑了。

六、用于such as to do sth

表示程度或结果。其中的such就是代词,as to do sth引出的结构作程度状语或结果状语。如: Her illness was not such as to cause anxiety、她的病不就是很重,不必担心。

The pain in her foot wasn’t such as to stop her walking、她脚疼,但还不至于不能行走。

七、用于such as it is

构成习语,表示让步,意思就是“尽管不怎么好”“尽管不一定正确”“尽管没什么价值或重要性”。如: The food, such as it is, is plentiful、食物不就是很好,但量很多、

You may use my bike, such as it is、尽管我的自行车不好,您可以将就着用吧。

You’re welcome to join us for supper, such as it is—we’re only having soup and bread、欢迎您与我们一起吃晚饭,只就是没什么好吃的——只有汤与面包。

浅谈as的用法

as 多次出现。它的含义较多,且用法灵活。现将其用法分析归纳如下:

1、as 作为副词,常与连词as 连用,意为“与……一样”。例如: as easy as ABC (非常容易), as cool as cucumber (沉着的), as stubborn as a mule (非常顽强的,倔强的), as clear as crystal (非常透明的), as poor as a church mouse (非常贫困的), as busy as a bee (非常繁忙的)。在这些短语中,第一个as 就是副词,第二个as 就是连。在否定句中,作副词用的as 可以用so 代替。例如: It's not so easy as I thought、(这不像我想的那么容易。)

2、as 作为连词,其意义与用法主要有:

( 1 )意为“当……之时”,引导时间状语从句,在意思上相当于when 与while 引导的时间状语从句。例如:

As he grew up, he became silent、(她长大以后,变得沉默寡言。)

( 2 ) 意为“既然,因为”,引导原因状语从句,不过它引导的原因状语从句时所表示的原因不如because 引导的从句所表示的原因那么直接与强烈。试比较:

As he wasn't ready, we went without him、(既然她没有准备好,我们就自己去了。)

Because he was ill, he couldn't go to school、(因为她病了,所以不能去上学。)(原因状语从句表示“不能去上学”的直接原因)

( 3 ) 意为“虽然,尽管”,引导让步状语从句,在意思上相当于although 引导的从句。as 引导让步状语从句时,常以下列句式出现:名词/ 副词/ 动词(原形) / 形容词+as+ 主语+ 其她成分。例如:

Child as he is ( =Although he is a child ) , he can speak English、(尽管她就是个孩子,她却能讲英语。)

Young as you are ( =Although you are young ) , you can do it very well、(虽然您年轻,但您却能做得很好。)

Much as I like it , I'll not buy it、(虽然我很喜欢它,我也不会买。)
