such as 的七個用法
1. 表示舉例,such as 意為“例如,諸如此類的,像……那樣的”,相當於like。
such as用來列舉事物時,壹般列舉同類人或事物中的幾個例子。插在被列舉的事物與前面的名詞之間,as後面不可有逗號。例如:
Some of the rubbish, such as food, paper and iron, rots away over a long period of time. 有些廢物,如剩飯、廢紙和廢鐵,時間壹久就爛掉了。
(1)這類結構既可表現為“名詞+such as+例子”,也可表現為“such+名詞+as+例子”。如:
I enjoy songs such as this one. = I enjoy such songs as this one.
我喜歡像這首歌壹樣的歌。
(2)若 such as 後接動詞,通常用動名詞,有時也可用動詞原形。如:
Don’t doanything silly such as marry him. 不要做什麽蠢事,比如說去嫁給他。
(3)such as 後不可列出前面所提過的所有東西。如:
正:I know four languages, such as Japanese and English.
我懂四種語言,如日語、英語。
誤:I know four languages, such as Chinese, French, Japanese and English.
我懂四種語言,如漢語、法語、日語和英語。
(4)不要按漢語意思將suchas 用作such like。
(5) 在現代英語中,such as可與etc. 連用。如:
They planted many flowers, such as roses, sunflowers,etc.
他們種了許多種花,如玫瑰花、向日葵等。
2. such as 表示“像……這樣的”,其中的' as 用作關系代詞,引導定語從句,as 在定語從句中用作主語或賓語。此外,不要按漢語意思把該結構中的 as 換成like。如:
He is not such a fool as he looks. 他並不像他看起來那麽傻。
3. such as 表示“凡是……的人(或事物)”、“所有……的人(事物)”,其意相當於
