时间状语从句
一、when, while和as
,也可引导一个短暂动作,可用于主句和从句动作同时发生或从句动作先于主句动作。当主句是将来时,从句的时态用现在时。(when在实际中用得最多)
I told my children when Lincoln was your age he walked twelve
miles to school everyday. But my son said, “That’s nothing. When he
was your age, he was president.”
我告诉我的孩子:当林肯你那么大岁数时他每天走12英里去学校,我儿子说,“那没什么,当他你那么大岁数时已经当总统了”。
there’s a side to President Reagan that people don’t know. When he
was a young man, he plete works of Shakespeare. Of course,
when Reagan was young, Shakespeare hadn’t written all that
里根总统还有一面人们并不知道,年轻时他曾读过莎士比亚全集——当然里根年轻时莎士比亚还没写那么多。
注:讽刺里根读书少,岁数大。
当when引导的时间状语从句为系表结构,而且其主语和主句的主语一致,其标语又是一个名词,就可以以as引导的省略句来代替when引导的从句。如:
As a young man, he plete works of Shakespeare.
他年轻时读过莎士比亚全集。
When the game is finished, the king and the pawn[卒] go into to the same box.
游戏结束时,国王和士兵进入同一个盒子。
注:人生就象一场游戏,游戏结束时,亿万富翁也好,平头百姓也好都进入一样大小的棺材(或骨灰盒)。Finish为短暂动作,从句动作先于主句动作。
场景再现:在筹集善款的晚会上,可以这么调侃:
How noisy an audience can be when you ask for quiet ____ and how quiet it can be when you ask for money.
(多么令人惊奇啊,)当你要求安静时听众乱烘烘的——当你要钱时全场一片寂静。
,侧重主句动作和从句动作相对比。如:
Plumber(水暖工): I’m sorry I was late.
Man: While we were waiting for you, I taught my wife how to swim.
水暖工:很抱歉我来晚了。
男人:我们等你的时候,我教我太太学游泳。
,多用于主句和从句的动作同时发生。如:
A man ate each night in the same restaurant and at the same table.
One night, as he was leaving, he walked up a wall, across the ceiling, down another wall, and out the door.
“That’s odd,” his waiter said. “Usually he says good night.”
一个人每天都在同一家饭馆同一张桌子上吃饭,一天晚上,当他离开时,他走上墙,穿过天花板,从另一面墙走下来,从门出去。
服务员说“真奇怪,他通常说晚安”。
注:服务员对那个男人的天马行空****以为常,但对于他不打招呼就走感觉奇怪。
As I look back, there is only one thing I wish I could have saved for my old age --- the years between twenty and thirty.
我回头看看只有一件东西是我希望为自己的老年保存起来的——20岁到30岁的岁月。
,其意义为“在那时,在这时”,相当于and at this/that time。
Heisenberg is out for a drive when he\'s stopped by a traffic cop.
The cop says, "Do you know how fast you were going
