大概意思是,我们对于他工作的认识以及理解是基于一本自传.这里就不说排除法了,在韦氏大学词典里,consequently意思有如下几种as a result :in view of the foregoing :accordingly,其中,accordingly表示“相应地,相对应地”,在这里可以行得通.
或者,理解成,在认识后产生的理解,这样更清晰.是否可以改写成much of our knowledge of his work and much of ourappreciation of his work consequently is based on his biography那么不用are 而用is一般根据语法来说你的修改行得通，但是，much of our knowledge and much of ourappreciation 是作为整体来理解的则用is，而且修改后的句子很罗嗦，不符合习惯
