请问The rise in divorce as such这句中,as such指的具体是什么呢?
On the other hand,the increase in divorce rates and the concomitant increase in single-parent households represent a much more dramatic transition in our times.The rise in divorce as such,however,which often has been cited as a symptom of family breakdown,should not be misconstrued.

as such这个短语通常指前面的名词,此处指rise of divorce.翻译为“本身”.
虽然离婚常被说成是家庭破裂的征兆(或现象),但离婚增多本身不应被曲解.
