[求助] og 258 关于句义的解释 谢谢！：）

Sedulously

The British sociologist and activist Barbara Wootton once noted as a humorous example of income maldistribution that the elephant that gave rides to children at the Whipsnade Zoo was earning annually exactly what she then earned as director of adult education for LACE>LondonLACE>.

不太明白提干的意思，尤其是A note as B that C 我知道C是补充说明B的，但是note as怎么解释？

1 A 引用了一个例子B。。。

2 A 被当作一个例子B来引用。。。

看来看去，我觉得解释2更符合句义，但是如果是被动，原句是不是应该改为:

A was noted as B that…?

疑惑，请nn指点！谢谢！：）

不是NN
本来句子的语序是note sth as a humorous example,个人认为这里note as 并不是固定搭配，as a humorous example是对sth的补充说明，由于sth太长 that the elephant that gave rides to children at the Whipsnade Zoo was earning annually exactly what she then earned as director of adult education for LACE>LondonLACE>，后置。
这样的例子应该很多的，好像杨鹏难句中前面几个例子里面就有一个
