as if 和like的区别
as if 和like的区别
as 和 like 在汉语中都译做"像",但字面下的隐含意思是不同的.
like侧重A B两者间的比较,并不意味着A和B属于一类或完全相似.
例如:He speak English like an Englishman.(=in a way an Englishman
speaks English.)
表示有些相象
as则侧重于同一性,意味着A B两者属于同一类或完全相似.
例如:He speaks English as an Englishman.(=as well as an English.)
表示讲得一样好
as与like是英语中常见的两个词,他们的语义和用法很多.在语义上者两个词都可以当"像.","正如."讲,说明人与人、物与物、动作与动作、状态与状态之间的相似之处.但其语法结构却是不一样的.
一、当“像”讲时,语法结构的不同之处是:
1、as作连接词.她引导比较状语从句和方式状语从句,而且这两种从句通常为省略句.例如:
1、She is a fine singer,as her mother used to be.
2、There is as much water in this cupas in that one.
2、like作介词.例如:
3、My sister isn''t much like me.
4、The robot can''t work like man.
如果需要加强语气,再这两个词之前加上just之类的词即可.例如:
5、All the plants and animals need air just as they need water.
6、Mary goes to school at seven every morning just like her brother.
含义不同之处是:
(1)like只是单纯表示比较,而且通常不是同类事物进行比较:
7、The ship looks like a high building.
8、The sky was like ink over my head.
(2)as可表示同类事物比较.
9、This ship is as long as that one.
二、当“正如.”意义讲时,语法结构的不同之处是:
(1)as作关系代词或关系副词、引导定于从句.
as 在这样的句子里指全句所谈到的内容,引出非限制性定于从句,在从句中一般做主语或宾语.例如:
10、Metals have many good properties,as has been stated before.
11、As we said before,you have done a good job.
(2)like作界词.
12、She,like thousands of others,is fascinated by this work.
三、as与like有时可以换用.
(1)在非正式的美国英语中like可用作连词,代替as.例如:
13、Nobody loves you like I do,baby.
(2)在非正式的文体中,like,常被用来代替as if.
14、Duke said:"You feel like you could reach out and touch it (the space)."
四、as常用于下列词组:在as you know ,as we agreed,as you suggested 这些词组中,as的实际意义不是比较,也不是相似,而是同一事物或人之义.例如:
as you know 的意思不是you know somthing like this ,而是you know this.
15、As he knew,she wasn''t much at letter-writing.
16、As all his friends agree,he was unusually warm-hearted,loving and generous.
在非正式问题中,有时可以在这种词组里用like,但在受过教育的人所使用的英语中不多见
