　　我們先來(lái)看看as for的一些語(yǔ)用場(chǎng)合:

　　1.用以轉(zhuǎn)換話題：as for總是出現(xiàn)在句首，用來(lái)引出一方或者新的談話內(nèi)容，但與前方內(nèi)容也有一定的聯(lián)系，起到補(bǔ)充前文又突出后方的作用，使之與前文形成對(duì)照。譯作而、可是、至于較合適。請(qǐng)看例句：

　　1)You can have a bed; as for him, hell have to sleep on the floor.你可以睡床，而他只好睡地鋪啦。

　　2)Much pasture land is under water; and as for the grain, most of that has been ruined.大片草原淹在水里，至于谷物，也大部分被毀。

　　1)As for you, I never want to see you here in my house again.至于決不想在我家再看到你了。

　　2)As for his performance, I suppose youve read the sarcastic reviews!要說(shuō)他表演得如何，我想你已讀過(guò)那些帶有諷刺意味的評(píng)論文章了吧!

　　3)Ive invited Andy, Bob and Sissy. As for Derek, I dont care if I never see him again in my life.我已邀請(qǐng)了安迪、鮑勃和茜茜。至于德里克嘛，我一輩子不見(jiàn)他，也不在乎。
