新概念英語第二冊語法精粹：狀語從句（上）

知識(shí)要點(diǎn)狀語從句是副詞性從句，它在句子中擔(dān)任狀語，修飾主句的動(dòng)詞、形容詞或副詞。根據(jù)修飾的方面，狀語從句可以分為以下九種：時(shí)間狀語從句、地點(diǎn)狀語從句、原因狀語從句、目的狀語從句、結(jié)果狀語從句、條件狀語從句、方式狀語從句、讓步狀語從句和比較狀語從句。一、時(shí)間狀語從句1.when指的是“某一具體的時(shí)間”。whenever指的是“在任何一個(gè)不具體的時(shí)間”。

When I came into the room, he was writing a letter.

當(dāng)我進(jìn)屋時(shí)，他正在寫信。

We shall go there whenever we are free.

我們什么時(shí)間有空，我們就去那里。2.when意為“這時(shí)”或“在那個(gè)時(shí)候”，可以看作是并列句,這種用法的when分句一般位于句末。

I was walking along the street when suddenly someone patted me on the shoulder from behind.

我正在街上走著，這時(shí)忽然有人從后面拍我的肩膀。3.while指“在某一段時(shí)間里”，“在……期間”，while引導(dǎo)的動(dòng)作必須是持續(xù)性的。

While it was raining, they went out.

天下雨的時(shí)候，他們出去了。

I stayed while he was away.

他不在的時(shí)候我在。4.as引導(dǎo)持續(xù)性動(dòng)作，強(qiáng)調(diào)主句和從句的動(dòng)作同時(shí)發(fā)生。

He hurried home, looking behind as he went.

他趕快回家，不時(shí)地一邊走一邊向后看。5.before譯為在……之前

Be a pupil before you become a teacher.

先做學(xué)生，再做先生。6.after譯為在……之后

He arrived after the game started.

比賽開始后，他到了。7.如主句動(dòng)詞是持續(xù)性動(dòng)作，常用肯定式，表示“直到……為止”。從屬連詞為till/until

We waited till (until) he came back .

我們一直等到他回來。8.如主句動(dòng)詞是瞬間動(dòng)詞，常用否定式，表示“直……才”“在……以前不”，從句放在句首表示強(qiáng)調(diào)，一般用until

She didn’t stop working until eleven o’clock.

她到11點(diǎn)鐘才停止工作。

Until he had passed out of sight, she stood there.

她站在那里看著，直到看不見他的身影。9.hardly…when和no sooner…than的意義相當(dāng)于as soon as，但只表示過去發(fā)生的事情，主句為過去完成時(shí)，從句為過去時(shí)，如hardly或no sooner位于句首時(shí)語氣強(qiáng)，而且主句的謂語要用部分倒裝。

I had hardly got home when it began to rain.

我剛一到家，就下雨了。=Hardly had I got home when it began to rain.

No sooner had we got to the station than the train left.

我們剛到車站，火車就走了。

Hardly had we begun when we were told to stop.

我們剛開始就被叫停。10.在時(shí)間狀語從句中，不能用將來時(shí)或過去將來時(shí)，而要用現(xiàn)在時(shí)或過去時(shí)代替將來時(shí)。

我每次乘船都暈船。

我一聽到這首歌，就感到很愉快。

Next time you come, you’ll see him.

下次你來的時(shí)候，就會(huì)見到他。11.狀語從句在主句之前時(shí)一般用逗號(hào)與主句分開，從句在主句之后則不必用標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)。

Great changes have taken place in China since 1978.

自從1978年以來中國發(fā)生了巨大的變化。

As soon as I arrive in Shanghai, I’ll write to you.

我一到上海就給你寫信。二、地點(diǎn)狀語從句where與wherever意義基本相同，但后者語氣較強(qiáng)，多用于書面語。

有志者，事竟成。

鑒于他病情嚴(yán)重，我們派人去請醫(yī)生去了。四、目的狀語從句

1.目的狀語從句中常用情態(tài)動(dòng)詞may (might), can (could), should 等放在動(dòng)詞之前，從句往往放在主句之后，主從句之間不用任何標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)，從屬連詞一般為that, so that, in order that, lest = for fear that。
