"regarded as" 是一个表达评价或归类的常用短语,意为:把……看作;认为……是(强调对某人/某物的主观或普遍看法)。
该短语源于动词 `regard` 的固定搭配 `regard sb/sth as...`(把某人/某物视为……),但被动语态(be regarded as)更常用(因为更强调“被评价的对象”)。
主动形式(较少用,强调“评价者”):
主语(人/群体)+ regard + 宾语(sb/sth)+ as + 补语(名词、形容词、动名词等)
例:I regard this painting as a masterpiece.(我把这幅画视为杰作。)
例:People regard him as a reliable leader.(人们认为他是可靠的领导者。)
被动形式(最常用,强调“被评价的对象”):
主语(sb/sth)+ be(根据时态/人称变化)+ regarded as + 补语
例:This painting is regarded as a masterpiece.(这幅画被视为杰作。)
例:He is regarded as a reliable leader.(他被认为是可靠的领导者。)
"as" 后面需接名词性成分(不能接动词原形),常见以下几种:
名词/名词短语(最常见,表“归类”):
Einstein is regarded as one of the greatest scientists ever.(爱因斯坦被认为是有史以来最伟大的科学家之一。)
The old castle is regarded as a symbol of the town’s history.(这座古堡被视为小镇历史的象征。)
形容词(表“特征/评价”):
This book is regarded as essential for students of literature.(这本书被认为是文学专业学生的必读书。)
Her work is regarded as innovative by the industry.(她的作品被业内认为具有创新性。)
动名词(doing)(表“行为/状态”):
Lying to others is regarded as being dishonest.(说谎被认为是不诚实的行为。)
Late arrival is regarded as showing a lack of respect.(迟到被视为缺乏尊重的表现。)
"as" 不可省略:必须保留 "as" 来连接“评价的内容”,如不能说"He is regarded a hero"(需加"as")。
同义替换:可与 `be considered as`(认为是)、`be seen as`(被视为)、`be viewed as`(被看作)互换,语气略有差异(`regarded as` 更正式,侧重“普遍看法”)。
"regarded as" 是表达“看法/归类”的核心短语,被动形式更常用,结构简单,只需注意"as"后接名词性成分即可。通过例子能更直观掌握:
正确:The Internet is regarded as a double-edged sword.(互联网被视为一把双刃剑。)
错误:The Internet is regarded as double-edged sword.(缺冠词,需加"a")
错误:The Internet is regarded double-edged.(缺"as")
