as的用法小结

as可以作连词、介词及关系代词。现将其用法小结如下:

一、 as作连词的用法:

1. 作"当……的时候",引导时间状语从句。注意与when、 while的用法区别。

① when作"当……的时候"解,可以指较短的(一点)时间,也可指一段时间。如: When he was at college, he could speak several foreign languages. (表示一段时间)

When the clock struck twelve, all the lights in the street went out. (表示时刻)

② while常表示一段较长的时间或一个过程,强调主句谓语动词与从句谓语动词同时发生。如:

Work while you work. Play while you play.

③ 但属下列情形时,只用as, 而不用when或while。

A) 用于表示同一个人的两种动作交替进行,指"一边……,一边……"。如:

The girl dances as she sings on the stage.

He looked behind from time to time// as he went forward.

B)表示两个同步发展的动作或行为,译为"随着……"。如:

As time went on / by, she became more and more worried.

As children get older, they become more and more interested in the things around them.

C)表示两个短促行为或事件几乎同时发生。如: I thought of it //just as you opened your mouth.

Just as the flying worm hit her face, she gave a loud cry.

D) 后接名词表示某一年龄段时,用as。如:

As a young man, he was active in sports.

2. as=since, 作"既然"、"由于"解,引导原因状语从句,常用来表示已为人们所知或显而易见的原因或理由。如:

As / Since you're not feeling well, you may stay at home.

As he wasn't ready in time, we went without him.

3. as=in the way that, 作"像"、"按照……的方式"解,引导方式状语从句。如:

He speaks English as Americans do.

Remember, you must do everything as I do. 4. 用于as...as...或not so/ as...as...中,前一个as引导让步状语从句,常用倒装语序,,后一个as是连词(连词后面可以跟动词、形容词、句子),引导比较状语从句。如:

5. 作"虽然"、"尽管"解即adj. /adv. / n.+ as +主语+谓语+主句。如: Child as he is, he knows a lot. (child前不用冠词)

二、 as作关系代词,引导定语从句,作"正如"、"这一点"解。如:

He is very careful, as his work shows.

As is well-known, Taiwan belongs to China.

as的这种用法,请看2001年的高考题:

is known to everybody, the moon travels round the earth once every month.

A. It B. As C. That D. What

字母下划横线的为正确答案)

另外,当先行词被the same, such等词修饰时,常用as来引导定语从句。如:

Such a clever boy as he can learn anything quickly.

I was reading the same book as he bought yesterday.

三、 as作介词的用法:

as引导的介词短语大多用作状语,as译为"作为";少数情况可引起宾语补足语。如: As a League member, I'll take the lead in everything. (状语)

She works as a doctor. (状语)

They have me as one of their own children.(引起宾语补足语)

as … as… 结构

“as + 形容词或副词原级 + as…” 意为“和……一样”，表示同级的比较，但要注意第一个 as 为副词，第二个 as 为连词。根据比较对象和性质的不同又可以把此种结构分为三种：

(一)“ as … as …结构”用于表示不同人或物同一性质的比较，意为“……和……一样…… " 。例如： The tree is as tall as the building(is) .

这棵树和那栋楼一样高。

注意此结构也常用于形象比喻中： 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 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。这些短语生动活泼，浅显易懂，记住这些短语可以提高学生的英语写作和口语能力。

(二)“ as … as …结构”用于表示同一个人或物不同性质的比较，意为“既……又……” 。例如： This swimming pool is as wide as it is long.

这个游泳池宽度和长度相等。

(三)“ as … as …结构”用于表示两个人或物不同性质的比较，表示程度相同或相当，意为“……而……”。在否定句中结构是“ so/as…as… ”。例如：

He was as handsome as his wife was beautiful .

他长得非常英俊，他的妻子也长得非常漂亮。

He was as experienced as his brother was green .

他经验丰富，而他兄弟却涉世未深。

He cannot run so/as fast as you.

他没你跑得快。

Danny is not so/as wise as he is witty .

丹尼为人风趣，但欠明智。

需要注意的是： “as + 形容词或副词原级 + as…” 结构的变体形式是“ as + 形容词 + a + 单数名词 + as 或 as + many/much + 名词 + as ”。意为“……和……一样…… " 。例如：

I don't want as expensive a car as this. = I don't want a car as expensive as this . 我不要这么贵的汽车。

This is as good an example as the other is.

这个例子和另外一个例子一样好。

Tony is as clever a boy as his brother .

托尼是一个和他兄弟一样聪明的男孩。

I can carry as much paper as you can.

我能搬得动和你一样多的纸。

此外，变体结构的否定形式为“ so +adj. + a/an + n. ( 单数 ) + as " 。例如：

I am not so strong a man as I was.

我已经没有从前那么强壮了。

二、 “as … as… 结构 ” 中常见词组和句式的用法

“as … as… 结构 ” 中常见词组和句式有很多，最常见的词组有“ as soon as ”意思是 " 一 …… 就 ……", 引导一个时间状语从句，还有“ as much as ”和“ as many as ”意思是“像 …… 一样多 ……” ，用来表达极其多的语气，学生在学习中时常会遇到这些词组，对这些词组的用法并不陌生。笔者对此无需赘述。下列笔者将要介绍 “as … as… 结构 ” 中其他一些常用词组和句式：

(三)句式 “ as+ many/much+ 名词 +as” 意思是“ …… 和 …… 一样”。此结构是词组“ as much as ”和“ as many as ”的变体形式。如：

(六)“ as … as …结构”可以用来表示倍数。具体用法是倍数词： twice ， three times ，

quarter 置于第一个 as 之前，意思是“ …… 是 …… 的几倍”。如：

你可不像自己想象的那么聪明。

我的年龄是他是两倍还不止。

他用功的程度是我的三倍还不止。

他搜集的邮票是我的四倍还不止。

(七)词组“ as well as ”意思是“像…一样好，既…又… , 除之外还”，此短语使用频率十分高，用途非常广泛。它可以用作连词和介词，也可以表示比较。具体用法如下：

1. 词组“ as well as ”用作连词。连接两个并列的同等成分，其意义为“不但……而且……”，“既……又……”，这时相当于“ not only … but also… ”。它所连接的部分既可以是单词、短语，也可以是句子。例如： He speaks Japanese as well as English and French.

他不但讲英语和法语，而且还讲日语。

2. 词组“ as well as ”用作介词。此时，相当于 besides ，意为“除……之外”，后常接名词、动名词。如

As well as visiting the old man, he helped to clean the room.

除看望老人外，他还帮助打扫房间。

3. “ as well as ”用于同级比较 , 意为“和……一样(好)”，这时，第一个 as 是副词，第二个 as 是连词，引导一个状语从句，表示同级比较。如：

He can operate the machine as well as I do.

他操作这台机器和我一样熟练。

4. 在使用“ as well as ” 时还应注意以下几点：

( 1 )当“ as well as ” 连接主语时，谓语动词的人称和数应与“ as well as ” 之前的名词或代词的人称和数保持一致。如：

Mary as well as I has been to the Great Wall.

我和玛丽去过长城。

( 2 )当“ as well as ”连接两个谓语动词时，前后时态与形式应保持一致。如：

They play the piano as well as sing.

他们不但会唱歌，而且会弹琴。

( 3 )当“ as well as ”连接两个简单动词时，也可充当插入语，这时 as well as 后的动词在人称和数上应与主语保持一致。如：

He works, as well as sleeps, in the room.

他既在这房间里睡觉，又在这儿工作。

( 4 )当“ as well as ”前的动词是分词或不定式，那么“ as well as ” 后的动词应取相应的形式(不定式不带 to )。如：

You can’t expect her to do the housework as well as look after the children.

你不可能叫她既做家务又照看小孩。

( 5 )如果“ as well as ”前的谓语动词是一般现在时或一般过去时，“ as well as ” 之后的动词可与前面一致，也可用动名词形式。如：

She sings as well as playing the piano.

她不但会弹琴，而且会唱歌。

Heavy smoking runs away with your money, as well as being bad for your health. 抽烟多既浪费金钱，又对健康不利。

( 6 )如果“ as well as ” 前面的动词是分词，那么“ as well as ” 后的动词也应用分词形式。如： We are repairing the roof, as well as painting the walls. 我们既油漆墙壁，又修房顶。

( 7 ) “ as well as ”也可以用于否定结构中，当 not 位于“ as well as ” 后时，两者都否定;当 not 用于 as well as 前时，否定前者，肯定后者。试比较：

I shall not see the film as well as he.

他将去看电影，而我不去。

I, as well as he, shall not see the film.

他不去看电影，我也不去。

通过以上分析可以发现“ as … as …结构”看似简单，但此结构变化太多，不易掌握。只有在平时的学习中多做练习才能熟能生巧。

As… as 的否定形式： not as … as

Not as half … as …

My daughter is not as half clever as your daughter.
