重提as...as before结构的分析

  Consequently he was still as poor as before. 请问在这句话中第二个 as 是介词还是连词?如果是介词,我猜想 as before 是一个介词+副词的结构,就像 until recently、by now 等那样;如果是连词,我猜想 as before 是 as he had been before 的省略形式(语法上,如果状语从句的主语与主句一致而且状语从句谓语中有be动词,可以将状语从句的主语连同be动词一起省略)。不知道我的这些猜想对不对,应该怎样分析 as before 的结构?请老师们解答。

Consequently he was still as poor as before.

as在这里不是介词,不能分析为介词+副词before。

as和than引导比较状语从句时,从句通常都省略和主句相同的成分。还原后的句子为:

Consequently he was still as poor as he had been before.

比较从句中的省略不同于其它状语从句的省略,不仅仅是可以省略主语和be, 凡是和主句相同的结构都可以省略。

如He runs as fast as I (do).

He has as much money as John (does).

He swims as frequently in winter as (he does) in summer.
