Question

请问下面的这一句话是什么意思,as在其中的用法是什么,是引导让步状语从句吗?
As we move away from living in communities where everyone knows one another to a more anonymous style of city life,fear of crime has grown around the globe.

Answer 1

as意思是：当.时.
句意：当我们离开我们所生活的互相熟悉的社区过上互不相识的生活时,全世界对于犯罪的担心也随之增加了.
as用于让步状语从句,从句要倒装.如：
Small as atoms are,they can be split.
