问题描述
It was a lavish reception as befitted a visitor of her status.
这场铺张的招待可算得正适合她这种身份的来访者。
查了as的所有意思都觉得没有适合这里的，似乎这里的as只是一个连接词，没有实际的意思
老师答疑
刘老师：
It was a lavish reception as befitted a visitor of her status.
【翻译】那是一次铺张的招待，可谓正适合她这种身分的来访者。
【分析】as在本句中用作关系代词，指代前文reception。在很多情况下，还可指代整个主句的内容，本身又充当了定语从句的主语。本句中的as可以换成which，意思基本不变。
befit是由系表结构“be fit” 合成而来的及物动词，意为“适合于”。as befits或as befitted现已成为英语习语，意为“适合于；不愧于；与......相适应”。
又如：
Braves, as befits their status, wear wooden armour.
与军中地位相对应，突袭者部队得以装备木甲。

但是那时的普京先生作为一名经验十足的前克格勃官员，他开始掩盖自己的一切行径。
