The result is that our body starts feeling tired which can affect our productivity.【句意】结果是身体感到身体疲惫，效率也会大打折扣。【分析】that our body starts feeling tired是表语从句。which can affect our productivity是定语从句。【语法点滴】方式状语从句1. 方式状语从句通常由as, (just) asso, as if, as though引导。1） as, (just) asso引导的方式状语从句通常位于主句后，但在(just) asso结构中位于句首，这时as从句带有比喻的含义，意思是正如，就像，多用于正式文体，例如：Always do to the others as you would be done by.你希望人家怎样待你，你就要怎样待人。As water is to fish, so air is to man.我们离不开空气，犹如鱼儿离不开水。Just as we sweep our rooms, so we should sweep backward ideas from our minds.正如打扫房屋一样，我们也要扫除我们头脑中落后的东西。2） as if, as though两者的意义和用法相同，引出的状语从句谓语多用虚拟语气，表示与事实相反，有时也用陈述语气，表示所说情况是事实或实现的可能性较大。汉译常作仿
