as从句中,用于代替主句出现的谓语动词的困惑

As a linguist, he acknowledges that all varieties of human language, including non-standard ones like Black English, can be powerfully expressive - there exists no language or dialect in the world that cannot convey complex ideas.

He is not arguing, as many do, that we can no longer think straight because we do not talk proper.


书上说,这里的do(包括does,did等), 用于代替主句出现的谓语动词,那么我的疑问是:

这句话中,主句的谓语动词应该是is not arguing, 还是后面的think straight呢?

如果是is not arguing, 不应该用as many be吗?如果是think straight, 应该是用as many do吧?

好困惑,恳请老师指点迷津!


又例如:

I don't want to set down a series of facts in a diary, as most people do.

as most people do中的do是替换want呢? 还是set down呢?为什么?

He is not arguing, as many do, that we can no longer think straight because we do not talk proper. 

do 指“通常情况”,is doing 指“眼前情况”。主从句的时态不一定要完全一致或等同。如果人们过去那样认为,则用 as many did。

【翻译】不像其他许多人那样,他并不认为我们说话方式不再规范就会使我们不能够准确的思考。


I don't want to set down a series of facts in a diary, as most people do.

as most people do. 中的 do 是替换 want 呢? 还是 set down 呢?为什么?

——这很简单。do 是替代谓语动词的,而不是“非谓语动词”。

最后那个判断不是根据语法判断的,而是根据语义判断的。你觉得你是知道,大部分人都是怎么想的,还是大部分人怎么做的?
