air is to us___ water is to fish可以填as吗?为什么?

2个回答

  • 不能换成as,这是一个固定用语,在英语里是一个表修辞的句式(类比)

    汉语意思是:A之于B正如C之于D

    Air is to human what water is to fish.

    空气之于人类犹如水之于鱼.

    补充:

    what引导比较状语从句

    A is to B,what C is to D或者

    What A is to B,so is C to D

    As A is to B,that C is to D

    翻译成,A和B的关系正如C和D的关系一样

    有些托福的语法书上讲有的,或你也可参考《修辞学》黄任著(上海外语教育出版社)
