问题是这样的:由题得到一些关于as的困惑,如何判断as前后的肯定和否定所表达的含义?as是作为连词有指代意义的?as作为连词指代前面的宾语从句时关注的是从句的肯定形式而不是否定意义(在有关否定前移时例句345)?
还是这里有的是as的其它特殊用法?
注:主要是题目,例句是某个老师给的补充。 题:
Few would dispute that the term applies to the Unabomber, whose manifesto, published in 1995, scorns science and longs for return to a pre-technological utopia. But surely that does not mean environmentalists concerned about uncontrolled industrial growth are anti-science, as an essay in US News & World Report last May seemed to suggest.
判断:Environmentalists were blamed for anti-science in an essay. (Tor F )
还有几个例句:
1~He is not arguing, as many do, that we can no longer think straight because we do not talk proper.
2~The father believes that the job is suitable for the son, as the mother believes.
3~The father does not believe that the job is suitable for the son, as the mother believes.
4~The father believes that the job is not suitable for the son, as the mother believes.
5~The father does not believe that the job is suitable for the son, as the mother does not believe.
给出的解释是: 判断题是对的,各例句的翻译是
1~很多人认为因为我们不能恰当说话,所以我们不能正常思考,但他并不这么认为。
2~父亲认为工作适合儿子。妈妈认为工作适合儿子。
3~父亲不认为工作适合儿子。妈妈认为工作适合儿子。
4~父亲认为工作不适合儿子。妈妈认为工作不适合儿子。
5~父亲不认为工作适合儿子。妈妈不认为工作适合儿子。
5~The father does not believe that the job is suitable for the son, as the mother does not believe.
这个句子中,as从句用否定结构为错误。应改为:分号后接 nor/neither does the mother.
其实,as引导比较分句,表示主句说的情况和从句说的情况一样。所以主从句如果都是肯定句,则理解没有问题。如果主句为否定句,则否定范围涵盖从句,即not否定的是这句+从句。例如:
Spiders are not insects, as many people think.
not否定的是 spiders are insects as many prople think. not对“蜘蛛像许多人认为的那样是昆虫”这个陈述予以否定,即这个陈述是不正确的。蜘蛛并非像许多人认为的那样是昆虫。逻辑是,许多人认为蜘蛛是昆虫,这是不正确的,蜘蛛不是昆虫。
所以,as从句通常要用肯定结构,不用否定结构。

《新概念》中有这句,我学英语时,就开始接触到对此句不少的叽叽歪歪。
Spiders are not insects, as many people think, nor even nearly related to them.
对于as many people think / as many people know.
不必想多了,01. 简单看做是插入语;02. 记住下面两句就基本OK了:
1. He is a student, you know,… (他是个学生,这点你知道的,…. )
2. He is not a student, as you may think,… (他不是个学生,尽管你可能会认为他是,. )
句子2有没有"是" 或"不是" 两种意思?可能会有这两者情况,
但是, 但是, 但是,
英语的意思主要是由 “本句”决定的(如反义疑问句那样),
as many people think 这个局部可没有否定词,不是么?担心个啥?

回到你题目:
Few would dispute that the term applies to the Unabomber, whose manifesto, published in 1995, scorns science and longs for return to a pre-technological utopia. But surely that does not mean environmentalists concerned about uncontrolled industrial growth are anti-science, as an essay in US News & World Report last May seemed to suggest.
斜体部分,挖去修饰语与枝节:
that does not mean environmentalists are anti-science,
as an essay seemed to suggest. (类似 as many people think结构)
尽管一篇论文暗示他们是(反科学的) (类似"尽管许多人认为是" 结构)
理解的关键,仍然是“本句”没有否定词,所以就是暗示是
故题目答案是“T”
判断:Environmentalists were blamed for anti-science in an essay. (Tor F )

你的“还有几个例句”
这些例句与上面的有所不同,
这里的as是另一种用法,使用上大体还是相同的:
10. in the same way that:
he died of cancer, as his father had done.
再如:
I didn't play football, as you did. (我不踢,你踢)
I wasn't a student, as you were. (我不是,你们是)
1~He is not arguing, as many do, that we can no longer think straight because we do not talk proper.
他并不是在争辩说,正如许多人争辩说的那样,....
2~The father believes that the job is suitable for the son, as the mother does.
2~父亲认为工作适合儿子。妈妈认为工作适合儿子。 OK
3~The father does not believe that the job is suitable for the son, as the mother does.
3~父亲不认为工作适合儿子。妈妈认为工作适合儿子。 OK
4~The father believes that the job is not suitable for the son, as the mother does.
4~父亲认为工作不适合儿子。妈妈认为工作不适合。OK
5~The father does not believe that the job is suitable for the son, as the mother does not believe.
5~父亲不认为工作适合儿子。妈妈不认为工作适合儿子。OK
1-5其实都是简单的对称结构,
都是 A do that XXX as B do that XXX = A do, as B do, that XXX.
