As a husband, I should try to be the anchor of the family.
类似 as a husband, as a man, as a student 这种结构是作状语吗?如果是,是方式状语吗?
刘老师:
as 用作介词,当它后面接名词时,既可以表示“时间”,也可以“身份”。表示“时间”就是时间状语,表示“身份”则是方式状语,意为“以......身份(做某事)”。
例如:
1. 表示时间:
As a small boy, he was rather naughty.
他小时候挺淘气。
She loved singing as a child and started vocal training at 12.
她从小就喜欢唱歌,12岁开始了声乐训练。
2. 表示身份:
As a teacher, you should be strict with your students.
作为一名教师,你应该对你的学生要求严格。
He's not in the first grade as a musician.
他不是第一流的音乐家。
as到底是表示“时间”还是“身份”,可以从后面接的名词和语境上判断出来。
As a student, you should study hard. 在这个句子中,as表示“身份”,意为“作为”。“作为一名学生,你应该努力学习。”
唐老师:
句中的 as a husband 是同位语,其主体词是后面句子主语 I。根据张道真的《英语语法大全》,下面句子句子中的 as…短语是同位语:
As a man of strong character, John would not agree.
As a professor of philosophy, he shouldn’t live a boisterous life.
