In his last years, while still keeping a terribly busy and active public life, he was tortured by pneumonia, cancer, and embolism.
這裡的紅字是一個分詞構句，用來修飾was tortured ....這個述部，屬副詞性修飾語。可以再加上連接詞while在前面，表示與述部是同時發生。while (he was) still keeping ... life ...因為主詞同主句主詞，故he was可省略不寫出來。
as和because of通常用來帶出原因，前者當連接詞時，接子句，後者是介系詞，接名詞當受詞，均不符本句上下文的邏輯和語法。
As I was leaving, the phone range. (連接詞，接子句）
He works as a waiter.(當介系詞，接名詞）
Nylon is as strong as leather.
She retired in 1987, partly because of ill health.
yet可當對等連接詞或副詞，意思是相反，不符本句上下文邏輯的語法。The weather was cold, yet bright and sunny.（連接詞）
Her advice seems strange, yet I believe she's right.
I haven't seen him yet.(副詞）
