what differences between " as" and " like"”像”意思上的区别
what differences between " as" and " like"
”像”意思上的区别
what differences between " as" and " like"”像”意思上的区别
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
很早的时候,like是形容词,表示相象、相同、类似等意;as是连接词.
Samy and Sammy are very like.Samy和Sammy长得很像.
Paul behaved as a child(does).保罗的举止像个小孩.(句子有省略)
后来,like作为介词使用,表示像…一样;as也可以作为介词使用了.
Paul behaved like a child.保罗的举止像个小孩.(句子没有省略)
再比较:
Let me speak to you as a father.让我以父亲的地位对你说说.(=I am your father and I am speaking to you in that character)
Let me speak to you like a father.让我像你父亲那样对你说说.(= I am not your father but I am speaking to you in the way your father might)
再后来,有些语法学家把以往like不允许作连词使用的规则也改了,用来代替引导方式状语从句的as.
I can't sing like I used to do.我不能像过去那样地唱了.(指唱的音色)
He writes just like his brother did when he was young.他写字的手法和他兄弟年轻时写的差不离.(指书法的风格和字型)
即使如此,like和as有时还是有些区别的.试比较:
The prisoner was hanged like a murderer.这个囚徒像杀人犯那样被处以绞刑(=…as if he were a murderer).
The prisoner was hanged as a murderer.这个犯人作为杀人犯被处以绞刑.(这个犯人就是杀人犯)
简单地说,like通常只做介词用,后接名词不接句子.例如:He looks like his brother.like后接句子的用法是口语中比较随便的用法,很多人不赞成这样用.但实际语言中有人用.在考试中最好不要在后面用句子.
as做介词用,它的意思是"做为",例如:I treat it as a joke.我把它当成一个笑话看待.
as做连词用,它的意思是"像",后接句子,例如:You must do as I told you.在规范的用法中,这里是不能用like代替as的.
