2、to take a taxi when you could easily walk there in five minutes.既然你五分钟就可以走到那儿,可你还打的去,真的太傻了。(2)从属连词while引导的动作必须是持续性的,侧重主句动作和从句动作相对比。如:Please dont talk so loud while others are working.别人在工作时请别那么大声谈话。Father was cleaning the car while I was doing my homework.我在做作业时,爸爸在洗车。(3)as引导时间状语从句,意为“正当;一边一边;随着”等意思
3、,表示两个动作同时发生。As she sang,tears ran down her cheeks.她一边唱歌,眼泪一边从脸颊流下。As time goes on,its getting warmer and warmer.随着时间的推移,天气变得越来越暖和了。2as soon as,immediately,directly,instantly,the moment,the minute,the instant和once(一就)这些从属连词引导的从句都表示从句的动作一发生,主句的动作随即发生,常译为“一就”。从句中用一般时态代替将来时态。如:The moment I heard the voi
4、ce,I knew my father was coming.一听到那个声音,我就知道父亲来了。The boy burst into tears immediately he saw his mother.那个男孩一见到他妈妈便放声大哭。3till,until和 not.until(1)肯定句:主句的谓语动词必须是延续性动词,主句、从句都为肯定式,意为“某动作一直延续到某时间点才停止”。如:He remained there until/till she arrived.他在那儿一直待到她来。You may stay here until/till the rain stops.你可以在这里待
5、到雨停。(2)否定句:主句的谓语动词必须是非延续性动词,从句为肯定式,意为“某动作直到某时间才开始”。如:He wont go to bed till/until she returns.直到她回来他才睡。4before和since(1)若表达“还未就;不到就;才;还没来得及就”时,需用连词before。如:We had sailed four days and four nights before we saw land.我们航行了4天4夜才看到陆地。We hadnt run a mile before he felt tired.我们跑了还不到一英里他就累了。Before I could

7、从句的谓语动词一般是非延续性动词,主句的谓语动词是延续性的或者是反复发生过的动作。since从句的时态若是一般过去时,主句中的时态常是现在完成时或现在完成进行时。如:I have written home four times since I came here.自从我来到这儿,我已经给家里写过四封信了。(5)在“It is一段时间 since从句”句型中,since引导的从句的谓语动词若是持续性动词,常理解为某一状态的终止;若是终止性动词,则理解为某一动作的开始。如:It is three years since the war broke out.(终止性动词)自战争爆发以来已有三年了。I
8、t is three years since I smoked a cigar(since I stopped smoking a cigar)(持续性动词)我不吸烟已有三年了。如果译成“我吸烟已有三年了”,应为:It is three years since I began to smoke.(终止性动词)5every time,each time,next time,the last time,any time等名词短语用来引导时间状语从句,表示“每当;每次;下次”等。如:Every/Each time I was in trouble,he would come to help me o

11、the place where you have any questions.(定语从句)你最好在有问题的地方做一下标记。三、原因状语从句原因状语从句通常由because,since,as,now that,seeing(that),considering that等引导。I was absent from the meeting because I was ill.因为我病了,所以我开会缺席了。As it is raining,we shall not go to the park.由于在下雨,我们不去公园了。Now that/Since everybody is here,lets beg

17、句应放在主句之后。其中as if或as though引导的从句一般用虚拟语气,但如果从句中所陈述的情况很可能实现,也可用陈述语气。如:Do as you are told to,or youll be fired.告诉你怎么做你就怎么做,否则你会被解雇。The old lady treats the boy as if he were her own son.(虚拟语气)这位老太太对待这个男孩就像他是她自己的儿子似的。I feel as if I have a fever.(陈述语气)我感觉好像发烧了。八、让步状语从句1although/though(尽管,虽然),even though/ev
18、en if(即使)引导让步状语从句。although与though两者意思相同,一般可互换,都可以与yet,still或nevertheless连用,但不能和but连用。如:He is unhappy,though/although he has a lot of money.虽然他很有钱,但他并不幸福。Although/Though it was raining hard,yet they went on playing football.虽然雨下得很大,但他们还是继续踢足球。Even though/if it is raining,well go there.(陈述语气)即使下雨,我们也要

22、d any idea of it.(强调句型)Not until you told me did I have any idea of it.(not until置于句首,主句要部分倒装)直到你告诉我,我才知道这件事。3在so/such.that.句型中当so或such置于句首时,主句要用倒装语序。如:So clever a student was he that he was able to work out all the difficult problems.他是如此聪明的一个学生,以至于成功地解出了所有难题。4as引导的让步状语从句须用倒装,句型为:adj./adv./n.(一般不带冠
23、词)/v.(原形)as主语谓语。Angry as/though he was,he managed to speak calmly.尽管他很生气,他还是设法让自己平静地讲话。5在时间、条件、方式、让步状语从句中,如果从句的主语和主句主语一致或从句的主语为it而且从句的谓语又包含be,就可以省略从句中的“主语 be”部分,构成下列结构:(1)连词分词Look out while crossing the street.穿过街道时要小心。(2)连词形容词Come tomorrow if possible.如果可能的话明天来。(3)连词介词短语While in Beijing,I paid a visit to the Great Wall.在北京的时候,我参观了长城。(4)连词不定式He cleared his throat as if to say something.他清了清嗓子好像要说些什么。
