这个句子中的as.as是什么意思?
Of the two proposals for solving the traffic problems on Main Street, Chen's plan is better for the city as a whole, as is clear from the fact that the principal supporter of Ripley's plan is Smith Stores.
可以肯请各位大神用语法知识讲解一下么~谢谢!

Answer 1

as a whole,作为一个整体.
as is clear from……是定语从句.意为正如……
这句话是说：在这两个解决主要街道交通问题的提案中,陈的方案在整体上来说对这个城市更加好,这一点从Ripley的方案支持者是Smith Stores这个事实上来看就清楚了.
