262. The scientists checked the data for all possible natural influences such as the lunar cycle as well as random variations and found neither to be at play.

英語(yǔ)四級(jí)譯文:
科學(xué)家檢查了所有自然界可能影響的信息，例如月球周期，以及隨機(jī)變異，卻發(fā)現(xiàn)兩者都沒(méi)有產(chǎn)生影響。

四級(jí)詞匯講解:
本句的主干是scientists checked data and found neither。for all possible natural influences為data的后置定語(yǔ);such as...為natural influences的補(bǔ)語(yǔ)，其中as well as起到了并列連接作用;to be at play為neither的賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)。

such as的意思是“例如，諸如”，用于舉例說(shuō)明。如:
The town is still reliant on traditional industries such as farming and mining.該鎮(zhèn)仍然依賴于務(wù)農(nóng)和采礦之類的傳統(tǒng)產(chǎn)業(yè)。

as well as的意思是“也，又，還”。如:
They sell books as well as magazines.他們既賣書也賣雜志。

at play此處的意思是“起作用”，還可指“在玩耍”。如:
I can hear the happy laughter of children at play.我能聽(tīng)到孩子們玩耍時(shí)歡快的笑聲。

英語(yǔ)四級(jí)考點(diǎn)歸納:
such與as的常見(jiàn)組合及用法如下:

※ as such意為“從字面意義來(lái)看，嚴(yán)格說(shuō)來(lái)”。如:
My new job is not a promotion as such.我的新職務(wù)算不上真正的晉升。

※ such as還可指“像……這樣，諸如……之類”。如:
Opportunities such as this did not come every day.這樣的機(jī)會(huì)不是每天都有的。

※ such...as意為“……的那些”。如:
Such food as they gave you was warm and nutritious.他們給你的食物是熱的，而且很有營(yíng)養(yǎng)。
