as与which

as引导的定语从句可以前置,as代表后述句子的内容,which不可以

As we know now, heavy objects and light objects fall at the same speed unless air holds them back.

as也可指代前述某个具体先行词,但通常在该先行词前必须有such (an), the same或as等修饰词与之相呼应,which则不可以。这种情况下,as前不能再用逗号和主句分开,当然也不能用which替换。

as还可指代某些非谓语动词或谓语动词及其意义,which则不可以。

To affect poverty (装穷), as was often done in the past, is no longer meaningful.

as指代to affect poverty,在从句中作主语。

as, which都可在定语从句作介词的宾语,但as前不仅必须有such, the same, as等词相呼应,而且从句可省掉与主句完全重复的部分(包括介词),which则不可以。

I live in the house which he lives in. (不能说:which he lives)

I live in the same house as he lives. (不说as he lives in)

当as引导的定语从句的谓语动词时态与主句不同或时态虽然相同但形式不同时,定语从句的谓语动词不能省略:

Jason does the same work as they do. 杰森和他们干同样的活。

as引导非限制性定语从句时,它代表主句的整个意思,没有明确的先行词,在从句中多作宾语。as引导的非限制性定语从句常表示说话人关于某事的依据、态度、解释或评论等,译作“正如……”,放主句的前面、中间、句末都可以。which表示某事的状况或结果,只放在主句后。

She married him, which was natural.
