Grammar detail: 〜を〜とする
〜を〜とする - have as; use as; consider as
Tweet
My current mastery of this grammar point:
A + を + B + とする
means set A as B; have A as B; use A as B; consider A as B; treat A as B etc
In the following example, the entire phrase
むちつじょ
無秩序
などしゃ
土砂
のたいせき
堆積
をぼうし
防止
すること (prevention of a disorderly accumulation of earth and sand) is 'A' and もくてき
目的
(purpose) is 'B'. So the meaning is 'set prevention of a disorderly accumulation of earth and sand as the purpose'.In the following simpler example, バイオ
かがく
化学
(biotech) is 'A' and きじく
基軸
(yardstick, criterion) is 'B'. So the meaning is 'use biotech as the yardstick' or 'consider biotech the basis for' or more loosely 'draw on'.See also:
