引導(dǎo)非限制性定語(yǔ)從句時(shí)，有時(shí)兩者可互換。如：

I live a long way from work, as [which] you know. 我住得離工作單位很遠(yuǎn)，這你是知道的。

1. 通常要用as的場(chǎng)合

①當(dāng)從句位于主句前面時(shí)，只用 as。如：

As is known to everybody, the moon travels round the earth once every month. 月球每月繞地球轉(zhuǎn)一周，這是每個(gè)人都清楚的。

②用于such, as, the same后引導(dǎo)限制性定語(yǔ)從句時(shí)，只能用as。如：

I never heard such stories as he tells. 我從未聽過他講那樣的故事。

This is the photo which shows my house. 這張照片拍的是我的住宅。

2. 兩者的細(xì)微區(qū)別

①as引導(dǎo)的非限制性定語(yǔ)從句應(yīng)與主句在意義上和諧一致，which無此限制。如：

He went abroad, as [which] was expected. 他出國(guó)了，這是大家預(yù)料到的。

He went abroad, which was unexpected. 他出國(guó)了，這讓大家感到很意外。(不用as)

②as引導(dǎo)非限制性定語(yǔ)從句時(shí)，先行詞通常不能是主句中某個(gè)具體的詞，而應(yīng)是整個(gè)句子、整個(gè)短語(yǔ)或某個(gè)短語(yǔ)推斷出來的概念，而which 則無此限制。如：

The river, which flows through London, is called the Thames. 這條流經(jīng)倫敦的河叫泰晤士河。(不用as)

③當(dāng)as引導(dǎo)非限制性定語(yǔ)從句作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，其謂語(yǔ)通常應(yīng)是連系動(dòng)詞，而不宜是其他動(dòng)詞，而 which則無此限制。如：

She has married again, as [which] seemed natural. 她又結(jié)婚了，這似乎很自常。

She has married again, which delighted us. 她又結(jié)婚了，這使我們很高興。(不用as)
