began to snow. 正當(dāng)我們出門(mén)時(shí),雪開(kāi)始下起來(lái)。這只能算是特例了。 3. As years go by,China is getting stronger and richer. 隨著時(shí)間一年一年過(guò)去,中國(guó)變得越來(lái)越富強(qiáng)了。1. As the time went on,the weather got worse. 隨著時(shí)間的推移,氣候更加糟糕。 as 表達(dá)的事件,往往只是主句動(dòng)作發(fā)生的背景或條件時(shí),as 只是一個(gè)次要的時(shí)間說(shuō)明,不像while 從句有強(qiáng)調(diào) while 動(dòng)作本身的意思。 4. The little girls sang as they went. 小姑娘們一邊走,一邊唱。 2. The students took notes as they listened. 學(xué)生們邊聽(tīng)課邊做筆記。as 從句一般可以翻譯成“邊……邊……”。re there, can you get me some stamps? 三、as 的用法 as 從句表示的也是一件事情正在發(fā)生,另一件事也正在進(jìn)行當(dāng)中?! ≡倮骸 狪39。如果換成 when 意思就變了,相當(dāng)于說(shuō)鐵只熱了一下,打一下,然后鐵就冷了。6. Strike while the iron is hot. 趁熱打鐵。這是while 的側(cè)重點(diǎn)。 5. While John was sitting biting his nails, I was working out a plan to get us home. 約翰坐在那里咬指甲時(shí),我正在制定一個(gè)回家的計(jì)劃。3. While they were talking, the bell rang. 正在他們談話(huà)的時(shí)候,上課鈴響了。1. While my wife was reading the newspaper, I was watching TV. 當(dāng)妻子正在看報(bào)紙的時(shí)候,我正在看電視。所以,while 從句一般用的是正在進(jìn)行時(shí)。 二、while 的用法 相比于when 來(lái)說(shuō),while 從句的側(cè)重點(diǎn)就不一樣了。 3. Why do you want a new job when you have got such a good one already? 你已經(jīng)找到如此好的工作,為何還想再找新的?4. You shall borrow the book when I have finished reading it. 在我讀完這本書(shū)后,你可以借閱。1. When I got to the airport, the guests had left. 當(dāng)我趕到飛機(jī)場(chǎng)時(shí),客人們已經(jīng)離開(kāi)了。根據(jù)這一點(diǎn),有的文章補(bǔ)充說(shuō):when 從句的動(dòng)詞大多是瞬時(shí)動(dòng)詞。也就是說(shuō),when 從句的重點(diǎn)不在動(dòng)作本身發(fā)生的狀態(tài),而只是把它作為一個(gè)時(shí)間點(diǎn),所以when 多數(shù)情況下用的是一般過(guò)去時(shí),則不用正在進(jìn)行時(shí)。7. I had hardly[scarcely] closed my eyes when someone knocked at the door. 我剛一閉上眼,就有人在敲門(mén)了。5. He was on the point of leaving when someone knocked at the door. 他正要走,這時(shí)有人敲門(mén)。 2. When she came into my room, I was just reading a book. 她走進(jìn)我房間時(shí),我正在看書(shū)。. ..
