细嚼慢咽（61）

1、Christic stared angrily at her boss and turned away, as though to go out of the office.

【译文】 克里斯蒂生气地瞪着她的老板，然后转过身去，好像要走出办公室似的。

【点睛】该句中副词angrily为stared 的状语。短语stare at sb./sth.意为“对某人/某物瞪着眼睛凝视，盯着看”，短语 turn away 意为“转过脸，转过身”，这两个短语是该句并列的谓语。as though引导动词不定式短语，作句子的状语。

【归纳】和as相关的常见搭配有

*so as to do sth.为了做某事

The thief ran off so as not to be caught.为了不被抓住，小偷跑开了。

*as for sb./sth.至于，就某人/某事物而言

As for you, you can stay.至于你，可以留下来。

*as if/though好像

You look as if you've had a good time.你看起来好像玩得很开心。

2、While there are almost as many definitions of history as there are historians, modern practicc most closely conforms to one that sees history as the attempt to recreate and explain the significant events of the past.

【译文】 尽管对于历史的定义几乎和历史学家一样多，但现代实践最符合这样一种定义，即把历史看作是对过去重大事件的再现和解释。

【点睛】该句中while 引导的是让步状语从句，其中包含比较结构as many...as...，比较的是 definitions of history和 historians 的数量。主句中，that引导的是以one 为先行词的定语从句，而one 指代的是definition of history. see sth.as...意为“把某事物看成..”。
