问题描述:

英语句中as是连词还是介词?
Another policeman has been injured as fighting continued
this morning.
又一名警察在今天上午打斗继续过程中受了伤.

as既可以当连词 也可以当介词 本句中应该是连词,意思是 当……的时候


各举一例:
连词:(表示两件事情同时发生)当…的时候,在…的同时 If something happens as something else happens,it happens at the same time.
    介词 :作为;当作  You use as when you are indicating what someone or something is or is thought to be,or what function they have.
