词组 according as
释义

■ according as

according to(见 according to 条)是介词短语,后面引入的是个名词成分;according as 则是连词短语,后面引入的是个从句。这个介词短语有些人认为不规范,但是莎士比亚的作品和《圣经》中都有用例。

  • Is all things well, according as I gave directions? (William Shakespeare, 2 Henry VI, III-ii)一切都妥当,都照我吩咐的那样吗?
  • ... the land which the Lord will give you according as he hath promised... (Exodus 12:25)…耶和华按着所应许赐给你们的那地…

从这几个例句看来,according as 意思是“按照”,后面接的词语或句子的意思也可以是不固定的、可变的。

  • Each of us will give according as we're able.我们每人都会量自己的可能作贡献的。
  • Behold, I come quickly, and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his works shall be.(Revelation 22:12)看那!我必快来。赏罚在我,要照各人所行的报应他。
  • ... and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need. (Acts 4:35)…照各人所需的,分给各人。
  • In like manner, again, according as the ulterior development of the representation varies, so does the whole development of the man vary. (Hippolyte Adolphe Taine, Introduction to the History of English Literature)同样,表象的进一步发展情况不同,这个人的进一步发展也就随之而不同。

但是 according as 后面也可以有两个意思(用 or 连接),表示“按照 X 或 Y 的不同而不同”。

  • Whether a human act is meritorious or demeritorious before God according as it is good or evil? (Saint Thomas Aquinas, The Summa Theologica, Q. 21, Art. 4, p.364)人的行为是否因为或善或恶而在上帝面前或者为功或者为过?
  • According as actual loss to the injured party following upon the act of the wrong-doer is or is not essential to its tortuous character. (Thomas Erskine Holland, The Elements of Jurisprudence, p.279)要看加害方的行为使得受害方蒙受的实际损失是否实质上构成为侵权。
  • According as the representation is distinct, as if stamped by a coining-press, or confused and blurred; according as it concentrates in itself a larger or smaller number of the characters of an object; according as it is violent and accompanied with impulsions or tranquil and surrounded with calmness, so are all the operations and the whole running-gear of the human machine entirely transformed. (Hippolyte Adolphe Taine, Introduction to the History of English Literature)表象或者像钱币压模机压出来的那样清清楚楚,或者模糊不清;它对于一个对象,或者集中了其大量的特征,或者只是集中较少的特征;它或者猛烈冲动,或者平和安详,因而人类机械的一切运作和整个传动装置都随之而改造。

后面还可以进一步有两个以上的意思,其中最后两个也是用 or 连接。

  • It (=the lever) is usually named as the first of the six mechanical powers, and is of three kinds, according as either the fulcrum F, the weight W, or the power P, respectively, is situated between the other two.杠杆通常列为六种机械力的首位,本身又分为三类,视支点 F、阻力点 W 和力点 P 三者哪一个在其他两者中间而分。
