标题: 再问OG 207

207. In the textbook publishing business, the second quarter is historically weak, because revenues are low and marketing expenses are high as companies prepare for the coming school year.

(A) low and marketing expenses are high as companies prepare

(B) low and their marketing expenses are high as they prepare

(C) low with higher marketing expenses in preparation

(D) low, while marketing expenses are higher to prepare

(E) low, while their marketing expenses are higher in preparation

A, the best choice, correctly balances the contrasting terms low and high in parallel form (adjectives in the positive degree). It also makes clear who, exactly, is preparing for the coming school year (companies). B uses the plural pronouns their and they without an appropriately stated referent. C, D, and E violate the parallelism needed for the contrasting terms by making the second term an adjective in the comparative degree (higher). Furthermore, the use of higher without a stated point of comparison makes it unclear what the expenses are higher than. E also uses the pronoun their without an appropriate referent.

请问A选项后面的AS 怎么解释

这里的as相当于while

这里的AS 能理解成因为吗？也做连词谢谢

I think "as" here means "because", not "while".

I agree with Stoneren, 'as' acts as 'while' or 'when'.

又看了一遍句子，“as”在这里的确是“while”或“when”更符合句意。

如果理解成“because”，好像就不通顺了。

呵呵～

我看了好几遍，怎么觉得as作为“由于”比较好，正式要为下学年作准备，营销成本才升高的，请ＮＮ进一步解释一下，多谢

究竟as是表原因，还是表时间？

个人理解也是表"时间"比较好.

把"while"或"when"代入原句: ..., because revenues are low and marketing expenses are high while companies prepare for the coming school year.

while从句表明marketing expense较高时的一项特征, 即通常是新学年即将来临时marketing expense较高.

而用because代as显得有点太突兀, 且该从句本身已经是because从句了.

一家之言, 大家继续讨论.

不知有没有nn能够把as表原因和表时间的不同用法总结一下，澄清一下。

作者: oceanalma 时间: 2005-9-15 22:07

我想问问，as和 while在引导从句的时候，有什么区别吗？

我想是不是这样的：

从逻辑上说，这两件事情是同时发生的，所以as = while。

或者说as引导了一个“时间”，是在发生这件事情的时候发生了那件事情。

判断原则：逻辑＞语法
