三语法核心总结

原因状语从句 as

I smoked with concentration … as I was sure that …

keep on doing sth.

不断地做某事

make no effort to do sth.

毫不努力做某事

as 引导非限制性定语从句

as Brian pointed out

as 引导原因状语从句 vs as 引导定语从句：I smoked with concentration and pleasure as I was sure that this would be my last cigarette. 中的 as 表原因（因为）；而 as Brian pointed out 中的 as 是关系代词，指代整个主句（正如……）。同一个 as，靠句意和位置判断其功能。
give up smoking 的构成：give up 是「放弃」，后接动名词 smoking，表示「戒烟」。注意 give up 后接动名词，不接不定式。同类还有 stop smoking（停止吸烟）。
the usual symptoms of someone giving up smoking：句中 someone giving up smoking 是「动名词复合结构」，someone 是 giving up 的逻辑主语，整个短语作 of 的宾语，意为「戒烟者（通常）的症状」。
