請問referred AS or TO?

Question

先說一下
我的歷史老師是加拿大人

我第一次寫
"China" and "Chinese" are to be defined as, and to be referred to(<---) the Republic of China (Since 1911).
他把 referred to 改成 referred as

我第二次交給他後我寫
"China" and "Chinese" are to be defined as, and to be referred as (<---) the Republic of China (Since 1911).
我拿回來的時候他改成 referred to

我想請問一下到底是
referred to
還是
referred as
正確?

希望能夠參考你的回答
謝謝

Answer 1

沒聽過refer as 都是refer to(也有可能是我沒學到吧 不過就我所知是醬的)當然 refer to st. as 是有的The little boy refer to the brown sugar as the sand.小男孩把黑砂糖稱作沙子

Answer 2

Thank you man..
Maybe you are right..
But yeah.. maybe it's because he's one of the very well-respected teachers in school and I respected him, so I wouldnt or perhaps not even want to question his profession, but he really confused me
anyway Thank you people

是喔?
好吧那我就放"referred to as".
所以就是
"China" and "Chinese" are to be defined as, and to be referred to as (<---) the Republic of China (Since 1911).

同意..
referred to as
文句 流暢

Answer 3

我想他指的是"referred to as"吧，因為你用的是被動
只是"referred to" as跟"defineded" as意思不是重複嗎？

Answer 4

referred to

The minister often referred to the Bible.這個牧師常引用《聖經》.
I never refer to you by the remark.我那句話決不是指你.
