网友问mentioned的逻辑主语。这里不存在逻辑主语的问题，而是省略了某个成分。

★英语在朝着表达简洁的方向发展，我认为，as的这种用法其实是一种省略现象。以下两种解释都可接受：

第一、把as看作关系代词，指代后面整个主句的内容，as是定语从句的主语，后面省略了is。因此，As already mentioned等于As is already mentioned。

第二、把as看作从属连词，引导方式从句，意为“像......那样”，as之后省略了it is，it指代整个主句的内容。因此，As already mentioned等于As it is already mentioned。

★能用于此句式的动词，一般都是“陈述，叙述，描述，提及，说及，显示，指出”之类的词，多用于议论文体，是带有总结性的提示语。除了As already mentioned以外，常见的有：

1. as already said 正如已经说过的（那样）

2. as already mentioned 正如已经提到的（那样）

3. as already described 正如已经描述的（那样）

4. as already discussed 正如已经讨论过的（那样）

5. as already noted 正如已经叙述到的（那样）

6. as already stated 正如已经指出的（那样）

7. as already announced 正如已经宣布的（那样）

8. as already pointed out 正如已经指出的（那样）

9. as already indicated 如前所示（那样）

10. as already hinted 正如已经暗示的（那样）

11. as already told 正如已经告知的（那样）

12. as already shown 如已显示（那样）

13. as already emphasized 正如已经强调的（那样）

14. as already observed 正如已观察到的（那样）

15. as already explained 正如已经解释过的（那样）

16. as already suggested 正如已经提出的（那样）
