such as 與 as such 用法

such as 和as such兩個片語有點像，但意思卻不同。

 

A) and as such

as such的第一個意思大概是「以此身份」、「因其身份」，前面加個and，用來代替其前所提過的名詞，以避免重複。舉例

1. I’m an English teacher, and because I’m an English teacher I am sensitive to see grammar mistakes. 變成

2. I’m an English teacher, and as such I am sensitive to see grammar mistakes.

 

He’s a renowned actor, and as such he has made a lot of money.

The film was a comedy(喜劇), and as such it had the usual happy ending.

 

B) as such, but

的第二個意思是「就其真正的意義來說」，後面加個, but。例如：

The shop doesn’t sell books as such, but it does sell comics. (就書的真正意義來說，這家店沒有賣書，但有賣漫畫) –漫畫跟書相似，但它們不是真正的書。

He isn’t a Hong Konger as such, but he has spent most of his life here. (就香港人的真正意義而言，他不是香港人，但他的大半生都在香港度過)

 

such as 就簡單多了，它意為「像…之類；例如」(like; for example)，舉例：

Many countries in Europe, such as Spain and Italy, use Euros. (歐洲有許多國家，如西班牙和意大利，都用歐元)
