课堂探究
1.As Victor Hugo once said,"Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face",and up to now nobody has been able to do this better than Charlie Chaplin.
维克多·雨果曾经说过"笑容如阳光,驱走人们脸上的冬天",关于这一点,直到今天也没有人能比查理·卓别林做得更好。
剖析:1)本句的as在句中引导定语从句,位于句首。代替其后的双引号内的内容。如:
As your mother said,"You are too naughty."
正如你妈妈说的"你太顽皮"。
2)as引导的非限制性定语从句中,as 可代表主句整个句子,引导的定语从句可以放在主句之前或主句之后。
My girlfriend is a nurse,as you have known.
如你已知道的,我女朋友是个护士。
