状语从句(一)
在复合句中修饰主句或主句中的某一成分的从句叫状语从句。状语从句通常由从属连词或起连词作用的词组引导,有时甚至不需要连词直接和主句连接起来。状语从句根据它表达的意思不同,可分为时间、地点、原因、目的、结果、条件、方式、比较、让步等九类。
一、 时间状语从句。
时间状语从句是表示时间关系的从句。可以引导时间状语从句的连词很多,根据意义和主从句之间的时间关系,通常可分为以下几种情况:
a. when, while, as, whenever
when, while, as表示主句谓语作和从句的谓语动作同时发生或几乎同时发生。
1.when
①when表示点时间时,从句中用短暂性动词;表示段时间时,用持续性动词。
when i got home, my family were already h**ing dinner.
我到家的时候,全家已在吃晚饭。
(when表示点时间)
when they were still talking and laughing, the teacher came in.
当他们还在说笑的时候,老师进来了。(when表示段时间)
he w**ed a hello when he saw her.
当他看见她的时候,就挥手打了个招呼。(when表示点时间)
when you think you know nothing, you begin to know something.
当你认为自己一无所知的时候,就开始知道一些事情了。(when表示段时间)
注意:当when意思是正当……时候(and at that moment)时,when只能跟在前一分句之后。
he was about to go to bed when the doorbel rang.
他正要**,忽然门铃响了。
they were watching the world cup when suddenly the lights went out.
他们正看着世界杯比赛,突然灯灭了。
they had just arrived home when it began to rain.
他们刚到家,天就开始下雨了。
②有时when表示虽然,尽管的含义,相当于although或since。
he walks when he might take a taxi.
尽管可以打的,但他还是步行。
how can you hope for mercy yourself when you show none
既然你不宽恕别人,你自己又怎能希望得到别人的宽恕呢?
2.while
①while通常表示一段时间,从句中宜用持续性动词作谓语。
strike while the iron is hot.
趁热打铁。she fell asleep while she was reading the news*****.
她在看报的时候睡着了。
②while有时可以作并列连词,表示对比,可译成……而……。

我喜欢英语而他却喜欢数学。
we slept while the captain kept watch.
我们睡觉而上尉担任警戒。
③while有时可引导让步状语从句,意思是虽然。
while they love te children, they are strict with them.
虽然他们都爱他们的孩子,但却对他们要求严格。
提示:虽然during 与 while 意思很相近,但是during是介词,不能引导从句。
3.as①as表示点时间时,从句中用短暂性动词;表示段时间时,用持续性动词。as和when两者经常可以通用。
the thief was caught as when he was stealing in the supermarket.
小偷在超市行窃时被逮住了。

吉姆离开会议室时候我看到了他。
②as表示一边……一边……,强调从句和主句中两个动作交替进行或同步进行。
they talked as they walked.
他们边走边聊。
he looked behind from time to time as he went.
他一边走,一边不时地往后看。
③as表示随着。
as time goes on, it's getting warmer and warmer.
随着时间的推移,天气变得越来越暖了。
as spring warms the earth, al flowers begin to bloom.
随着春回大地,百花开始绽放。
4.when, while, as的用法区别。
①只有当从句表示的是段时间,即其谓语动词有持续性特征时,这三者可以通用互换。
i got the news on the radio when while as i was h**ing breakfast.
我在吃早饭的时候从收音机里获悉这一消息。
②在下列情况下,三者彼此之间不能替换使用:
a.as更强调同一时间或紧接的一前一后或伴随着的变化。
we listened to the singer sing as he played the guitar.
我们听着歌星边弹吉它边演唱。
i thought of it just as you opened your mouth.
你一张嘴我就知道你要说什幺。
as he grew older, he became less and less active.
随着他年龄的增长,他变得越来越不活泼了。
提示:状语从句可放在主句之前或之后,放在主句之前时一般用逗号与主句分开。有时可置于主句中间,前后用逗号。
b.when更强调特定时间,还可表示从句中的动作先于或后于主句的动作。
when i had given mary the spare ticket, i found my own already gone.
当我把多余的票给了玛丽时,我才发现我自己的票已不知去向。(从句动作发生在主句之前,注意主从句的时态)
when i finally got there, he meeting had been on for ten minutes.
当我最终赶到那里时,会议已开始十分钟了。(从句动作发生在主句之后,注意时态)
c.while从句只能表示延续的动作或状态或主从句中动作的对比。
she thought i was talking about her daughter, while in fact, i was talking
about my daughter.
她以为我在谈论她女儿,而事实上,我在谈论我的女儿。
d.若表示两个短促动作几乎同时发生时,用as场合多于when。
as he finished his speech, the audience burst into applause.
他结束讲话时,观众爆发出雷鸣般的掌声。
5.whenever
whenever是when的强势语,它描述的不是一次性动作,而是经常发生的习惯性动作。

无论你何时来都欢迎。

提示:before 从句往往带有否定的含义。
