3 关于是否为状语前置的问题

Against staying longer, however, Elizabeth was positively resolved——nor did she much expect it would be asked; and fearful, on the contrary, as being considered as intruding themselves needlessly long.

然而Elizabeth下定决心反对再继续待下去——她也不期望他们再邀请她们住下去;相反地,她也很害怕,由于毫不必要的待下去会被看作是打扰他们。(没有前后文语境,我把翻译给出来)

我想请教老师几个问题:

1Against staying longer原本是在resolved的后面吗,作状语还是作resolve的形补?

2.分号前后是并列关系,所以fearful这里省略了与前句相同的部分Elizabeth was,对不对?

3as状语从句部分应该是as Elizabeth was considered…简化成的分词结构,但主句和从句怎么可以同时省略主语?

感谢(*^_^*)

Against staying longer, however, Elizabeth was positively resolved——nor did she much expect it would be asked; and fearful, on the contrary, as being considered as intruding themselves needlessly long.

1. Against staying longer,在结构上看作是形容词 resolved 的补足成分,但在意思上可以分析为方面状语resolved + against 搭配关系不是十分密切,也不是固定搭配。介词短语提前主要是为了强调这个方面状语。

2.  分号前后是并列关系,所以fearful这里省略了与前句相同的部分Elizabeth was,对不对?——理解正确。

3as状语从句部分应该是as Elizabeth was considered…简化成的分词结构,但主句和从句怎么可以同时省略主语?——这就是文学作品的特点。很多句子是无法按照语法去分析的。不单是英文小说,中文小说何况不是如此?有时候,只有半句话就使用句号,甚至单独占一个段落。例如:“因为她不知道他的下落”,就这一个原因从句,就单独成句不说,且独自占一段。

as being considered 不应该是 as Elizabeth was considered, 原因状语从句似乎不能这样省略。即便能省略,按照状语从句省略规则,应该是省略了 she was,即 as she was being considered...(过去进行时)

请注意,这里的问题是:intruding themselves, 用的是反身代词,由此可以判断Elizabeth是他们(they)中的一员,即是东道主中的一员;按照常规理解,东道主一般会盛情挽留客人多住几日;可能的情况是,Elizabeth作为东道主的一员,心理不乐意客人们再多住下去,她当然也不希望客人们主动提出再多住几日;但同时又担心(fearful), 如果不主动提出让客人多住几日,别人会认为Elizabeth一家感觉客人已经住的很久了,打扰的太多了,希望客人们走;这其实是反映了Elizabeth内心的矛盾状态. 可以理解为:Elizabeth was positively resolved against (the guests)staying longer, nor did she much expect it would be asked and (she was) fearful, on the contrary, as(if it wouldnt be asked, the guests were)being considered as intruding themselves needlessly long.
