"regard…as…"是英语中表达“看法、归类”的核心短语,意为:把…看作…;认为…是…;将…视为…。
它强调说话者对某人/某物的主观判断或归类,相当于"consider…as…"或"think of…as…"。
"regard"是及物动词,后面直接接宾语(被判断的人/物),"as"引出宾语补足语(对宾语的判断内容)。
结构公式:主语 + regard + 宾语(sb./sth.) + as + 补足语
"as"后面可接名词、形容词、动名词(V-ing)等,核心是补充说明宾语的“属性、身份或状态”:
接名词(表示“身份、类别”):
I regard my teacher as a role model.(我把我的老师看作榜样。)
We regard this project as a success.(我们认为这个项目是成功的。)
接形容词(表示“特征、状态”):
She regards the math problem as too difficult.(她认为这道数学题太难了。)
Do you regard him as reliable?(你觉得他可靠吗?)
接动名词(表示“行为的性质”):
They regard lying as unacceptable.(他们认为撒谎是不能接受的。)
He regards playing video games as a waste of time.(他把打游戏视为浪费时间。)
若强调“被他人看作…”,可转化为被动结构:sb./sth. + be regarded as + 补足语
例:
Shakespeare is regarded as one of the greatest writers in history.(莎士比亚被视为历史上最伟大的作家之一。)
This book is widely regarded as a classic.(这本书被广泛认为是经典之作。)
"regard"后面不能直接接从句,需先接宾语,再用"as"引出补足语(若要表达“认为某事怎样”,需用"regard sth. as + 形容词/名词",而非"regard that…as…")。
错误:I regard that he is honest as wrong.(×)
正确:I regard his honesty as wrong.(我认为他的诚实是错误的。)或 I don't regard him as honest.(我不认为他诚实。)
"as"是介词,后面接动词时需用动名词(V-ing),不能用动词原形。
consider…as…:与"regard…as…"几乎完全同义,更正式(常省略"as",直接说"consider sb./sth. + 补足语")。
例:We consider her (as) our leader.(我们认为她是我们的领袖。)
think of…as…:更口语化,侧重“脑海中把…归为某类”。
例:I think of this city as my second home.(我把这座城市当作我的第二故乡。)
"regard…as…"是表达主观判断的实用短语,关键是掌握“宾语 + as + 补足语”的结构,通过不同类型的补足语(名词/形容词/动名词)灵活描述对人/物的看法。
