背部比前面的肋间隙更宽
这里的as 有什么意义, 可否刪除?
老师答疑
陈老师:
The interspaces are wider in the back as compared to the front.(省略形式时间状语从句)
参考译文:当与/和前面相比时,背部间隙要更快些。
句子语法结构分析:
主语:The interspaces(间隙)
系动词:are(是)
表语:wider(更宽些)
地点状语:in the back(在背部)
引导时间状语从句连词:as(当....的时候)
时间状语从句主语(省略了):they(它们,指代间隙)
时间状语从句部分谓语(即助动词 省略了):are
时间状语从句部分谓语:compared
时间状语从句部分状语:to the front与...相比)
(特别备注:从句谓语为:are compared,在英语的状语从句种,如果主句和从句相同,且从句含有be形式,可以把从句的主语和助动词be省略,从而达到语言更加简洁的效果)
以上句子可以改写为下面的句子
(1)=The interspaces are wider in the back as they are compared to the front.(they指代前面复数名词the interspaces)(没有省略时间状语从句)
(2)=As interspaces are compared to the front, they are wider in the back.(没有省略时间状语从句)
(3)=Compared to the front, the interspaces are wider in the back.(删除as后,就是过去分词短语作状语)
回答如下:
赞同 刘老师 解答
The interspaces are wider in the back as (they are)to the front
as引导的时间状语从句 省略 从句的(主语+助动词)直接以过去分词形式出现并保留引导时间状语从句连词,,在在英语中的状语从句是非常常见的语言现象,也属于英语特殊句式中“省略“句式
实际上,以上句子结构可以作compare A with B /compare A to B被动语态的简化结构做状语
(1) Compare A with B 把A和B比较
(2) A be compared with B A被和B作比较,这个结构还经常,以compared with B放在句首,后面在接完成句子

这里的as 有什么意义, 可否刪除?
【答】这里的as 表示时间,意为“当...时”。as compared to the front,完整的表达是as they are compared to the front,还可以继续省略为:compared to the front。
举个类似的例子:
If he will be given more time, John will do the work better.
从句的主语跟主句的主语相同,而且含有be动词时,为了简练可一并省略:
If given more time, John will do the work better.
干脆把从属连词省略掉,分词短语也可表示从句(时间,条件,原因等)的含义。
Given more time, John will do the work better.
