各位老师好
A study of food resources in the North Pacific between 1989 and 1996 revealed that creatures of the seabed were suffering because food supplies were dwindling , possibly as a result of an increase in sea surface temperatures during the same period.
①请问as在这里是连词吗?②as a result of ... 这里是做什么句子成分呢?③这是要修饰哪一部分呢?
句子来源:GMAT official guide
as 是介词,不是连词。as a result of 可视为 “短语介词” 表原因,作宾语从句中的原因状语。意思是:作为……的结果 ; 由于…的原因,大致等于 because of 的用法。
句子基本框架是:
A study revealed that ...
重点分析宾语从句:
that creatures of the seabed were suffering because food supplies were dwindling , possibly as a result of an increase in sea surface temperatures during the same period.
宾语从句是一个“因果关系”复合句:蓝色是“因”,红色是“果”。网友的疑问是:绿色介词短语表示的“原因”,是修饰“红色”、“绿色”,还是“红绿全句”?
我认为,绿色修饰蓝色。意思是:
由于食物供给减少,可能是同一时期海洋表面温度升高的结果,海底生物正在蒙受灾难。
