问题描述：

定语从句先行词：The size of the audience,_____ we had expected,was well over one thousand
The size of the audience,_____ we had expected,was well over one thousand
填which还是as?
我在其他地方看到两种解释：
一、as 表示“正如.”的意思,which没有这个意思.
二、本句中的先行词是整个句子.于是原句应该是：
As I had expected,the size of the audience was well over ..thousand.
如果要用which 引导的话,应该是：
The size of the audience was well over ...thousand,which I had expected.
which引导非限制性定语从句的时候,位置可以在句中或者句末,但不能在开头对吗?但是这个句子中which放句中,意思就不太对了.而从表面看来就是解释不出“正如”的意思.
那么是否可以理解成这样一条规律：which引导非限制性定语从句时,若先行词是一个词或词组,那么which的位置可以在句中或句末；若先行词是一个完整的句子,那么which的位置只可以在句末?相反,as的位置则可以任意.

我来补答

：The size of the audience,_____ we had expected,was well over one thousand这个从句只能用as引导.因为它表示对已知事实提供依据.译为"正如"而which表示主句和从句之间的因果关系.这两个引导词都是代替整个主句内容的,不是代替某个先行词的.看下面的一些例子.
As we can see ,this cap is very beautiful.
=this cap is very beautiful ,as we can see.
As we all know ,the earth goes around the sun .
= The earth goes around the sun ,as we all know .
As is reported in the newspaper,his company is closing down.
Tom passed the exam ,which made his parents very happy.
He came late again ,which didn't surprised us .
He said he worked in the office until ten last night,which I doubt.
as ,which代词引导这种定主从句,可在从句中做主语或宾语.which位置必需在主句之后.as从句可前可后.
再问：谢谢！能否麻烦分析一下我的理解。。。【which引导非限制性定语从句时，若先行词是一个词或词组，那么which的位置可以在句中或句末；若先行词是一个完整的句子，那么which的位置只可以在句末？相反，as的位置则可以任意。】可以这样理解吗？
再答：可以这样理解
