Fortunately, as Igrew older, there came a turning point. One day a white girl caught my eye onthe school bus when she suddenly turned back. To my astonishment, she had athin sheet of sweat on her nose too, and it was in November! “Wow,” I whisperedto myself, “this isn’t a geneticdisorder after all. It’s perfectly normal. Days later, my life took anothertwist . Searching the internet for stutteringcures, I accidentally learned that suchfamous people as Isaac Newton and Winston Churchill also stuttered. I wasgreatly relieved and then an idea suddenly hit me—if I’m smart, I shouldn’tallow my stuttering to stand between me and my success.
我了解,such students as me and you, such people asNewton 等使用方法,也就是 as 后面是接一个单词或短语,但这里的 as 后面为何用动词呢?它是一个句子吗?
你的句子中的 as 仍是介词,即asIsaac Newton and Winston Churchill只不过一个介词短语,后面的谓语动词stuttered 的主语其实是 such famous people。句意:像艾萨克·牛顿和温斯顿·丘吉尔如此的名人也会口吃。
又如:
Such food as theygave us was scarcely fit to eat. 他们给大家的那些食物简直没办法下咽。
Such poets asKeats and Shelley wrote Romantic poetry. 有的诗人,如济慈和雪莱,写的是浪漫主义的诗歌。
Such delicatenegotiations as these call for great tact and patience. 像如此一些微妙的谈判需要有很大的机智刼耐心。
Such blemishes asthere are in the work do not seriously take from its merits. 工作中的这类缺点,对其功绩并无多大影响。
注意领会下面的同义表达:
Such books asthese are rare. =Books such as these are rare.= Books like these are rare. 这种书是罕见的。
Such men as theseare dangerous.= Men such as these are dangerous.=Men like these are dangerous. 他们这种人非常危险。
另外有时as可能是关系代词(引导定语从句)。如:
Such experience as I have is useless in this situation.我的这类经验在这样的情况下派不上用场。
Such changes as they made were minor and did not gofar enough. 他们所做的这类改变都无关痛痒,不够深入。
