This is from Wuthering Heights. What does "as" mean?



(1)when

(2)in the manner I found him

"I found him starving in the Liverpool Streets. He can't talk English. Nobody knew to whom he belonged, and I could not leave him as I found him!"
 
Nekocat, are we supposed to translate the whole book to you or what? It feels to me we are making your homework.
 
:148:shush mate! she only asked a question!

why so angry, she only wanted to be helped would you liked it if we do the same to you if you ask something to us? reconsider first before typing, savvy?
 
I personally like helping out people with anything I can be of assistance with.

1,2,5 questions..ok. 69 threads of solving homework and using people as an encyclopedia, hell NO!

You should reconsider first before typing, mr Sparrow -_-; Shouldn't you be playing pirate or something?
 
RockLee that is a question we may never find out the exact answer, as if someone would do that sort of thing, but mind you the net is used for many different reasons.........
 
I think it's a very intelligent way to find help with learning English, asking people on a forum. I enjoy giving help when I can!

I agree with Geostigma that number 2 has the same meaning as "as".
 
but doing someones homework for them is counterproductive.
that being said.... If someone wants to do a 16 year olds calculus work for him email me!!!!
 
This clearly isn't homework. The person is obviously an ADVANCED learner of English as a second language and its tackling some difficult material, which would probably confuse even the occasional native speaker if their education wasn't up to snuff. If this person wasn't asking us, they'd be paying out the nose for some 'advanced' English course or pouring over stiffly written grammar books trying to do piece-work, very inefficient. Seeing as they live in Tokyo and this is the 21st century, posting on an internet forum seems entirely appropriate.
 
Thanks for the kind words, it's very nice of you. If I didn't find this forum extremely useful and informative, I wouldn't have posted more than 20 threads asking English questions. I'm glad that you defended me.
I don't want everyone of you to understand my intention in the first place. As I expressed my feelings in other threads, I'm grateful for all the help I can get from your answers.
 

Dear Nekocat,

I - as well as others - find your questions highly interesting and appreciate your posting them! I am also glad that you find this forum helpful (kudos to our members!) and strongly encourage you to post any English-related questions you may have.

I have said so in another thread: "Wuthering Heights" is one of my most favourite pieces of literature too.
 
お言葉にお甘えいたします。どんなに貴殿の励ましを読んで感動したことか。How moved I was by your encouragement.

ここのサイトの回答、レベルが高いのでつい甘えちゃっています。The level of answerers here is high indeed.
質が低かったらとっくに去っています。
レベルが高いのは、

日本語や日本について感心のある人は、日本語を勉強する人も多い→外国語を学ぶということは、それだけ母語についての洞察も深くなる→教える能力アップ

という理由かもしれません。

嵐が丘は本当に衝撃的ですよね。Wuthering Heights is shocking.

日本語ですみません。 Sorry, this is Japanese.

これからもよろしくお願いします。時間ができたら日本語学習フォーラムでも回答するつもりです。

I think it's great !

To have new posts in something besides J-Rock is a nice change. Maybe we should have a thread for Wuthering Heights questions.

When you type Japanese in the Non-Japanese section *this is the learning English section* it would be best to add a translation, or a small summary about it so that everyone can understand it a little bit. Thank you in advance.

批判した人の怒りを静めるのはこれしかないと思いますね。

(Helping us in the Japanese learning forum I think is the only thing that will appease the anger of nekocat's critics).

お願いします。 (Pleasee....)
 
it wasn't meant as criticism. sorry if i offended.:sorry: It was just an observation and humor also i didn't realize the situation. Despite my age i will help in any way possible.
