1：Ryonosuke Akutagawa's knowledge of the literatures of Europe, China, and Japan was instrumental in his development as a
writer, informing both his literary style and the content of his fiction.
这句话是真么意思呢？
2 informing 是做 writer 的定语吗？ 不是应该做Ryonosuke Akutagawa's knowledge 的定语吗？
3Ryonosuke Akutagawa's knowledge of the literatures of Europe, China, and Japan was instrumental in his development as a writer, as it informed his literary style as much as the content of his fiction. 为什么错啦？

RA关于欧、中、日的文学知识对于其在作家方面发展有益，对其小说的文体风格和内容均由影响。


informing 状语  表结果吧，动作发出者为knowledge


D中as只能是连词表原因，但句子意思就不对了，对a和b的影响相同对于说明前半句话没有任何意义啊

很受用~谢谢

informing 应该是修饰句子的主语xxx's knowledge作伴随状语吧？还是您说的结果状语？求指教啊~~

从逻辑上考虑，D选项容易造成歧义：是文学知识对文体风格的影响，与小说内容对文学风格的影响一样多，还是文学知识对其文体风格和小说内容的影响一样多？显然原文要表达后者意思，但D用informing就把as much as后面的content of fiction的比较对象给弄得有歧义了~这应该是不选D的最主要原因~

这句话的inform是什么意思啊？

想了好久，关于OG上主句和从句之间的因果关系终于想通了。下面是我的理解：
在原句中，主句的意思是"对于各国文学的了解深刻影响了他作为一个作家的成长"，并没有着重强调“影响”。而从句的意思是“对于各国文学的了解影响了他的文学风格和小说内容”。所以这里，主句是原因，从句是结果。整个句子可以解释为“对各国文学的了解影响了他作为作家的成长，例如（表结果）影响了他的文学风格和小说内容”。

但是如果主句这样说：“对于各国文学的了解对于他作家的成长产生了深刻的影响”（着重强调了影响），那么从句就是原因，主句就是结果。整个句子可以理解为：因为对于各国文学的了解影响了他的文学风格和小说内容，所以（我们可以判断）对各国知识的了解对于其作家身份的成长产生了深刻的影响）.Th English version should be: RA's knowledge of the literature of ECJ influenced his development as a writer, because it informed his literary style and the content of his fiction.

看到这两个英文版本区别了么？因为动词不一样。
在原版的句子中，谓语是were，其后面跟表语。表语的目的是表语是用来说明主语的身份、性质、品性、特征和状态的，因此表语并非句子的中心。（不过我不知道句子的中心是什么。是主语么？）
而在我改编后的句子中，谓语动词是influence,这其实就完成了一个转换。因为句子的中心是动词么，所以整个句子在强调“influence”。所以强调部分的不同完成了因果关系的转换。
