as在句中的含义和前后句时态

We _____ at the house as we ______ of buying it.

A. looked: were thinking

B. were looking; were thinking

C. were looking; thought

D. looked; had thought

本题正确答案是 B,请问老师 as 在本句中是否翻译成“当……的时候”,在我印象中,while 后面要用进行时,as 之后也必须这样用吗?做此类题是通过语法分析呢,还是通过翻译来做呢?请老师说说为什么其他选项不行。谢谢老师!

你说正确答案是 B,我在百度上搜了一下这道题,这道题在网上至少出现在数十个地方,所给答案几乎都是 B,其相关解析基本上是将 as分析为表示时间的连词,意思是“当……的时候”。但我对这道题有不同看法。我觉得这道题的AB均可选。同时我认为,此句中的 as 不是表示时间而是表示原因

1. 若选A,可以假设是这样的语境:

What did you do this morning? 你们上午做什么了?

We looked at the house as we were thinking of buying it. 我们去看了房子,因为我们打算要买下它。

2. 若选 B,可以假设是这样的语境:

What were you doing then? 那时你们在做什么?

We were looking at the house as we were thinking of buying it. 我们正在看房子,因为我们打算要买下它。

【补充】做此类题要注意两点:一要使句子符合语法要求,二要使句子意思要通顺(要合情理、合逻辑)。
