8、: The question is when they will get so much money to set up the factory. 问题是他们将在什么时候弄到这么多钱来把这个工厂办起来。when, while 和 as 引导时间状语从句的用法这三个词的意思很简单,都有“当 , 时候”的意思。但学生经常会问三个词的区别在哪儿,特别是在做选择题的时候。别说是学生,就我个人而言,做这样的选择题要保证百分之百的正确也是不可能的。现根据大量的实例和个人的思考,做一点小结,供大家参考。一、when 的用法 如果只从现象来看, when 从句用的最多的是一般过去时, 而主句的时态没有限制 ,

9、根据具体情况而定 1. When he was a child he was always trying out new ideas.他小时候就常常试验一些新的设想。 2. When she came into my room, I was just reading a book. 她走进我房间时,我正在看书。3. Were you writing when the teacher came in? 老师进来的时候,你在写信吗？4. Sorry, I was out when you called me. 对不起,你打电话来的时候我出去了。5. He was on the pointof le

10、aving when someone knocked at the door. 他正要走,这时有人敲门。6. I thought of it just when you opened your mouth. 就在你要说话的时候,我也想到了。1 7. I had hardlyscarcely closed my eyes when someone knocked at the door.我刚一闭上眼,就有人在敲门了。根据以上的例句,我们可以总结出一点：when 从句的 A 事件,相当于另一个事件B 发生的时间点。也就是说, when 从句的重点不在动作本身发生的状态, 而只是把它作为一个时间点,

11、 所以 when 多数情况下用的是一般过去时,则不用正在进行时。因为如果用正在进行时,它表示的就是一段时间而不是一个时间点了。根据这一点,有的文章补充说：when 从句的动词大多是瞬时动词。这种说法也可以参照。实际上, when 从句也可以有其它的时态,但几乎也不用进行时,因为它也只是作为一个时间参照点。例如： 1. When I got to the airport, the guests had left. 当我赶到飞机场时,客人们已经离开了。2. When he had finished his homework, he took a short rest.当他完成作业后,他休息了一会儿

12、。3. Why do you want a new job when you have got such a good one already?你已经找到如此好的工作,为何还想再找新的？4. You shall borrow the book when I have finished reading it.在我读完这本书后,你可以借阅。5. When the manager comes here for a visit next week, Ill talk with him about this.下周,经理来这参观时,我会和他谈谈此事。二、while 的用法相比于 when 来说,while

13、 从句的侧重点就不一样了。 while 从句的侧重点在于描述动作正在发生的状态,它的意思是：当while 事件正在发生的时候,另一件事如何如何。所以,while 从句一般用的是正在进行时。而另一件事的状态没有硬性的要求,根据具体情况而定。例如：1. While my wife was reading thenewspaper, I was watching TV.当妻子正在看报纸的时候,我正在看电视。2. While Jim was mending his bike, Lin Tao came to see him.正当吉姆修自行车时,林涛来看他。3. While they were talk

14、ing, the bell rang. 正在他们谈话的时候,上课铃响了。4. You cant do your homework while you re watching TV.你不能一边看电视一边做家庭作业。5. While John was sitting biting his nails, I was working out a plan to get us home.约翰坐在那里咬指甲时,我正在制定一个回家的计划。从时间的角度来看, while 表示的是一段时间,是一个过程。这是“一段时间”的含义的时候,就可以用 while。while 的侧重点。因此,如果含有6. Strike w

15、hile the iron is hot. 趁热打铁。这句话中,是说趁着铁是热的这段时间,赶紧打铁。如果换成一下,打一下,然后铁就冷了。这显然不符合文意。when 意思就变了,相当于说铁只热了I'm going to the post office.While you're there, can you get me some stamps?三、as 的用法as 从句表示的也是一件事情正在发生,另一件事也正在进行当中。但与while 从句不同的是, as 从句用的一般不用正在进行时,而只是一般过去时。as 从句一般可以翻译成“边 , 边, ”。例如：1. As my mothe

16、r sang those old songs, tears ran down her cheeks.当我妈妈唱起那些老歌时,眼泪顺着她的脸颊流了下来。2. The students took notes as they listened. 学生们边听课边做笔记。3. As we talked on, he got more and more excited. 我们继续往下谈的时候,他越来越兴奋。4. The little girls sang as they went. 小女孩们一边走,一边唱。2 5. Just as he caught the ball, there was a teari

17、ng sound.当他抓住球的时候,有一种撕裂的声音。as 表达的事件, 往往只是主句动作发生的背景或条件时,as 只是一个次要的时间说明, 不像 while 从句有强调 while 动作本身的意思。因此, as 常常翻译成“随着 , ”之意。例如： 1. As the time went on ,the weather got worse. 随着时间的推移,气候更加糟糕。2. The atmosphere gets thinner and thinner as the height increases.随着高度的增加,大气越来越稀薄。3. As years go by,China is ge

18、tting stronger and richer.随着时间一年一年过去,中国变得越来越富强了。少数情况下,如果强调动作正在发生,as 从句也可以用正在进行时。这只能算是特例了。1. The sad mother sat on the roadside, shouting as she was crying.伤心的妈妈坐在路边,边哭边叫喊。2. As we were going out, it began to snow. 正当我们出门时,雪开始下起来。3. He came in as I was going to bed. 我正要上床睡觉,他进来了。四、when, while, as 的互换

19、如果从句动作和主句动作同时发生,并且从句动作为延续性动词时,这种情况下,它们的细微区别恐怕连英、美人自己也说不清了。1. When /While /As we were dancing, a stranger came in.when,while,as 可以互换使用。当我们跳舞时,一位陌生人走了进来。2. When /While /As she was making a phone call, I was writing a letter.当她在打电话时,我正在写信。 make 为延续性动词 dance 为延续性动词 3. While/When/ As I was walking down t

20、he street, I noticed a police car in front of the bank.我顺着马路往前走时,发现银行门前停着一辆警车。五、比较 while, when, as1）as, when 引导短暂性动作的动词。例如： Just as / Just when / When I stopped my car, a man came up to me.我刹车后,有一个人向我走来。2）当从句的动作发生于主句动作之前,只能用when 引导这个从句,不可用 as 或 while。例如： When you have finished your work, you may hav

21、e a rest.干完活后,你可以休息一下。3）从句表示“随时间推移”连词能用as,不用 when 或 while 。例如： As the day went on, the weather got worse. 日子一天天过去,天气越变越坏。2）比较 until 和 till此两个连词意义相同。肯定形式表示的意思是“做某事直至某时”,动词必须是延续性的。否定形式表达的意思是“直至某时才做某事” 。动词为延续性或非延续性都可以。正确使用这两个连词的关键之一就在于判断句中的动词该用肯定式还是否定式。肯定句： I slept until midnight. 我一直睡到半夜时醒了。Wait till

22、I call you. 等着我叫你。（在肯定句中可用 before 代替。例如： Let's get in the wheat before the sun sets.）否定句： She didn't arrive until 6 o'clock. 她直到 6 点才到。Don't get off the bus until it has stopped. 大众汽车停稳后再下车。I didn't manage to do it until you had explained how. 直到你教我后,我才会做。区别： 1）until 可用于句首,而 till 通常不用于句首。例如： Until you told me, I had heard nothing of what happened.直到你告诉我以前,出了什么事我一点也不知道。3 3）until when 疑问句中, until 要放在句首。例如：-Until when are you staying? 你呆到什么时候？- Until ne
