Question

英语句子
a university has no real existence and no real purpose except as it succeeds in putting you in touch.
这句话当中的as是起什么作用的,能换成when吗

Answer 1

as在此作为连词.
When I say that a university has no real existence and no real purpose except as it succeeds in putting you in touch,both as specialists and as humans,with those human minds your human mind needs to include.要是一所大学不能使你们学生,无论是专门人才还是普通人,去接触那些你们的头脑应该有的大师们的思想,那么这所大学就没有真正的办学宗旨,也就没有存在的必要了.
你可从中体会as的意思.
