这里二个as从句都是时间状语从句,分别修饰其前面的主句谓语动词。这不是比较分句。
A fresh disease could be about to take off right now, as a freak bacterium escapes from an antibiotic-abusing factory farm, say, or a mutated virus sweeps out of a laboratory or a forest, as a bat passes it on to a new host which can infect humans.
请问这两个as都是什么用法?这种一句话里两个as之间只有一个逗号的情况不会造成歧义吗?这种用法多么?
第一个as是连词?
第二个as是引导修饰forest定语从句的先行词?
PS:as adj as里第一个as是副词,第二个as是介词(+名词)或连词(+句子),对吧?
