Mr Yameen has weathered plenty of adversity, as the long list of his opponents attests. Media reports in August about moves to oust him came to nothing.(亚岷先生经历了很多磨难,这一点可以从他一长串的反对者名单中得到明证。媒体在8月报道了一些关于罢免他的行动,但最终不了了之。)
在上面的句子中as引导的是一个非限制性定语从句,它所指代的先行词是前面整个主句Mr Yameen has weathered plenty of adversity,此时as在从句中充当的是attest的宾语。Attest的含义是“证明,作为……的证据”。上面的句子也相当于:The long list of Mr Yameen’s opponents attests that he has weathered plenty of adversity.
我们可以使用…as…attest…这一句型来替换for example/for instance,例如:
Air pollution can have a negative impact on people’s health. For example, people living in areas with poor air quality are prone to respiratory disease. (空气污染对人们的健康有不利的影响。比如,生活在空气质量较差地区的人更容易得呼吸道疾病。)
我们可以将其改写为:
a) Air pollution can have a negative impact on people’s health, as the rise in respiratory disease in areas with poor air quality attests.b) Air pollution can have a negative impact on people’s health, as is attested by the rise in respiratory disease in areas with poor air quality.
