如何理解这里的as - 柯帕斯英语网

Here, in America, they relied on one another as reminders of their motherland and families.

如何理解这里的as，整句话又如何翻译呢？

这里的as就是“作为”的意思。reminder的意思是：a person or thing that reminds or causes one to remember. （the free dictionary释义）

这句话的意思是：身在美国，他们彼此互相依赖，这样就总会想起祖国和家人。言外之意，彼此都是中国人，看到彼此就自然想到家人和祖国。我给你几个外刊例句，供你比较体会一下：

That day I took the box that saved him as a reminder of who I was.

Swedish Americans erected statues of him as a reminder of ' the old country'

But they see them as reminders of things they need to work on.
