请问各位专家老师，文章中这句话怎么理解，AI说是一种压缩型结构，用于文学表达。
句子：I ask the reader
to note that I, an Englishman who no longer lives in England and can’t spend more than
six months at a stretch in any other European country, home to America as to a
country more stimulating than depressing.
问题：home to修饰什么？AI说的是一种压缩结构，相当于regard sth as sth。补全后相当于：I regard America
as home, just as I would regard any country that is more stimulating than
depressing as home.我想知道在日常阅读中碰到该怎么去分析。
原文：Is America
falling apart？最后一段
