1. 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
济慈和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 . 像兔和鹿这样的动物整个冬天都是很活跃的,它们到处寻找食物。用于此义时的几点说明:(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: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、日语和英语。(5) 在现代英语中,such as可与etc. 连用。如:They planted many flowers, such as roses, sunflowers,etc. 他们种了许多种花,如玫瑰花、向日葵等。They export a 1ot of fruits,such as oranges,lemons,etc. 他们出口许多水果,如桔子、柠檬等。2. 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. 他并不像他看起来那么傻。Such men as he (is) are rare now. 现在像他这样的人很少了。3. 表示“凡是……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:You may choose such as you prefer. 你可挑选自己想要的东西。Such (people) as have knowledge and skill will not want to work. 有知识和技能的人不愁没有工作。4. 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. 我们本来希望给你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。5. 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。
