範例

II
Coming out, as it did, at such a time, his work attracted much attention.

解説
I
(a) Published, as it was, at such a time, his work attracted much attention.
(b) Published at such a time, his work attracted much attention.

II
(a) Coming out, as it did, at such a time, his work attracted much attention.
(b) Coming out at such a time, his work attracted much attention.

(a) と (b) とは意味に於て異なる所なし、唯 (a) の前の Verb を反復する爲に用ひたる as it was (published), as it did (=came out) なる Adverbial Clause を用ひ文意を強めたるに過ぎず。

　As it was ｜
  As it did ｜は「彼が如く」又は「實際」など譯す可し。

〔註一〕I の Published の如く Past Participle を用ひたる場合は（,）の有無に依りて次の如き差を生ず。
(1) Published, as it was, ......
    實際（又は、あの通り）出版されたから。
(2) Published as it was, ......
 ｜Published, ......
 ｜Being published, ......
=｜As it was published, ......
 ｜Since it was published, ......
　出版されたから。

 ｜Published though it was, ......
=｜Though it was published, ......
　出版されたけれども。

　即ち (1) に在りては as（＝如く）は比較を示し、(2) に在りては（前後の關係に依り）as（＝「故に」「とも」）は理由又は讓歩を示すことあり。

〔註二〕II の Coming (out) の如く Present Participle を用ひたる場合には I の如き區別なきが故に（,）を附する事あり、附せざる事あり、何れにても可なり。
