医生劝我爸爸戒烟,但没成功。
advise; suggest
advise 与suggest 都可作“建议”讲,二者用法有同有异。
(1)相同点 表示建议做某事,advise与suggest都可采用下列三种句型:
① + 名词
② + 动名词
③ + that从句(从句中常用should加动词原形,should可以省略。)
eg. He advised/ suggested an early start.
He advised/ suggested (our) starting early.
He advised/ suggested that we (should) start early.
(注:只要是用从句表示建议该做的事,从句中就可用“should+动词原形”,should可以省略。)上面的第三句可转化为:
It was suggested that we (should) start early.
What he suggested was that we(should) start early.
His suggestion was that we (should) start early.
(2)不同点
①advise后可以跟人称代词作宾语,而suggest后不可以跟人称代词作宾语。故可以说:
advise sb. to do sth.; advise sb. against (doing) sth.; advise sb. on/ about sth.; suggest(to sb.)that...
前三种结构中不可将advise改为suggest,如:
他建议我们去参观博物馆。
[正]He advised us to go to visit the museum.
[误]He suggested us to go to visit the museum.
[误]He suggested us that we go to visit the museum.
②suggest还有“暗示、表明、说、指出(一个事实)”的意思。此时从句中用陈述语气,不用虚拟语气。如:
The smile on his face suggested that he was pleased.
Having examined carefully, the doctor suggested that the patient was seriously ill.(句中suggest陈述了一个事实,故用陈述语气。)比较:
Having examined carefully, the doctor suggested that the Patient be
operated on at once.(句中suggest表示建议该做某事,从句中用should加动词原形,should在从句中省略。)
affect(=have an effect on sth.)vt.影响(effect n.影响)
This may affect your health. 这或许会影响你的健康。
My throat is always affected by bad weather.我的嗓子总是受恶劣天气的影响。

1)“be afraid of+名词”,意为“害怕”。
2)“be afraid of doing sth”意为“担心,害怕……”。
3)“be afraid for…”意为“为……担心。”
4)“be afraid that…”意为“担心,恐怕”。
5)“be afraid to do ”意为“害怕,担心而不敢做某事”。
6)I’m afraid so/not.恐怕是这样/恐怕不会这样

You may do it another day.
你可以改天做这件事。
He stayed there (for) another day/another two days after I lift.

apologize是不及物动词,意为“道歉”,其表达式为“apologize to sb.for sth.”。如:

从意义上讲:
(1)appear强调外表给人的印象,有时含实质上并非如此的意思,如:
He appears to know more than he really does。他看起来好像懂得很多。(其实懂得没有那么多)
(2)seem暗示有一定根据的判断,这种判断往往接近事实,如:
His health seems to be better.他的健康状况似乎有所好转。
(3)look着重由视觉得出的印象,如:
He doesn’t look his
age.他看起来比实际年龄年轻(或老成)。
从用法上讲:

+to v.
It + ~ +(that)从句如:
He seems/appears(to be)very sad today.=It seems that he is very sad today.
It seems like years since I saw you last time.
He seems a kind doctor.(=It seems that he is a kind doctor.)
He seems/appears to have caught a cold.=It seems/appears that he has caught a cold.
look当“看起来似乎…和as if从句。如:
He looks strong.
She looks like her mother.
It looks as if we are going to miss the train.…”讲时,可接形容词、过去分词、名词、介词短语

This is a less developed area.这是个欠发达地区。
Most of the large land areas are connected.多数大块陆地是相连的。

该结构意为“拥抱”。如:

consider用法小结
consider是个很常用的动词,其意义不同,句型结构也不同。我们在学习中要特别注意。
(1)作“仔细考虑、深思熟虑”解,consider可作不及物动词或及物动词。
作及动词时,后可接名词、代词、动名词作宾语,不能接动词不定式,但可以接疑问词+不定式,相当于宾语从句。例如:
Consider carefully before you decide.你要慎重考虑后再做决定。
They considered your suggestion.他们仔细考虑了你的建议。
He is considering studying abroad.他在考虑出国留学。
We are considering how to help them.我们在考虑如何帮助他们。
(2)作“将……视为、认为、以为”解。
①可用consider+名词+(to be)名词(形容词)或consider+名词+as+名词(形容词)结构,但当不定式为行为动词时,不能省略,不可用于进行时。这样用时相当于that引导宾语从句。例如:
He considers himself(to be)clever(=as clever).=He considers that he is clever.他认为自己很聪明。
I consider him(to be)my closest friend(as my closest friend).=I consider(that)he is my closest friend.我把他视为我最亲密的朋友。
He is considered to have invented the first computer.他被认为是最早发明计算机的人。
②还可用于consider+it(形式宾语)+形容词+不定式结构。例如:
I consider it wrong for students to smoke.我认为学生抽烟是不对的。
consider的用法:①You should consider the question.你应该考虑这个问题。
②跟从句
He began to consider when he would get married他开始考虑什么时侯结婚的事情。
③跟疑问词 + to do sth.
He is considering how to get there in time.他正想怎么能及时赶到那儿。
④跟动名词
Who considers answering the question?谁正在考虑回答这个问题?
⑤为……着想
He always considers others before himself他常先为别人着想。
⑥名词为:consideration(不可数)
take sth. into consideration把……考虑在内

(3)discover指“发现或找到”某种自然界本来已存在,但以前未被人类发现或认识的事物,如发现元素、电、煤、石油、铁等矿藏以及新星、星系或科学真理等。例如:
I discovered an unopened letter in the drawer.我在抽屉里发现了一封未拆的信。
crowd
crowd 可用作名词,表示“人群,群”;用作动词,表示“群集,拥挤”。如:

Key:

②If necessary,we’ll employ more men for the harvest.
no longer 常可相当于not…any longer. not 用来否定谓语, any longer 置于句末。上面的句子可分别改作:
①He don’t live here any longer.
②Don’t worry about her. After all she isn’t a child any longer.
③I shall not wait any longer.
注意:no more(相当于not…any more)也是“不再”的意思。no longer是把现在的情况和过去对比,时态以现在时为多,有时也用过去时或将来时;no more 指今后如何,通常用将来时态。
①I can no longer stand it.我再也受不了。
②I will go there no more.我再也不到那地方去了。
美国人有时用起来比较随便。
He is no more/no longer ill.他的病好了。
另外:涉及数量或程度时要用no more; 谈到时间表示once but not now(有一度、曾经那样,但现在不了时),要用no longer.
①There is no more bread.没有面包了。
②I no longer support the Conservative Party.我不再支持保守党了。(曾经支持过)
no more
than:only仅仅;只有。具有感情色彩,强调“少”。与no less than 相对。
Not more than:less than;at most不到;至多。说明客观事实。与not less than相对。
①He has no more than 20 yuan.他只有20元钱。(强调钱“少”)
He has not more than 20 yuan.他有不到20元钱。(说明客观事实)
②No less than 50 people attended the meeting.参加会议的人不少于50多个。(强调“多”)
Not less than 50 people attended the meeting.参加会议的有50多人。(说明客观事实)
注意:no用于比较级之前总含有感情色彩;not用来否定比较级则只说明客观事实。
①you are no taller than I.你并不比我高。(我们两人都矮)
you are not taller than I.你不如我高。
②This question is no more diffcult than that one.这个问题并水比那个(容易的)问题难。
This question is not more diffcult than that one.这个问题不如那个问题难。
no more than;not more than;no more...than;not more...than
no more than 意为“仅仅、只不过”,相当于only。它与数字连用时,意为“仅仅至多”,强调“少”,带有说话者的感情色彩。如:
I am no more than a teacher.我只是个教师而已。
There were no more than two hospitals in this city before liberation.解放前,这座城市里只有两家医院(表示很少)
not more than 后面接数词时,表示“不超过、最多”的意思。用来说明情况,并含有“少”之意,也不带有说话者的主观色彩。如:
There are not more than ten minutes left.最多只剩下10分钟了。(表示客观事实)
“no more+形容词(副词)原级+than”意为“两者同样不”,前面和后面同时否定,带有感情色彩。如:
This tool is no more useful than that one.
这件工具与那件工具一样没有用。(两者都没有用)
“not more+形容词(副词)原级+than”意为“A不比B更……”。这是比较级的正规用法,表示比较的事实,两者都肯定。如:
This tool is not more useful than one.这样工具不及那件工具有用。(两者都有用)
noise ; voice; sound
这三个词均指“声音”
voice是可数名词,指人发出的声音。如:

We could hear the children’s voices in the garden.我们能听见花园里孩子们的声音。
sound词意最广泛,它包括各种性质的声响,不论大声还是小声,音乐或噪音,有意义的还是无意义的声音均可,多作可数名词。如:
A joyful sound came from the distance. 远处传来欢快的声音。
The door was open, and the sound came from the kitchen.门开着,声音是从厨房传来的。
noise泛指一切在的、杂乱的或令人讨厌的杂声和吵闹声,既指单一的刺耳、尖锐、磨擦的声响,也可指混合在一起不协调的声响,不论是由人或物所发出的,可以是可数的,也可以是不可数的。如:
Loud noise can make people ill.大的噪音能使人生病。
Don’t make such a loud noise.别弄出这么大的声响。
Not all the parts of the car will be made in the factory.并非所有的汽车零件都在这个工厂里制造。

常见的总括词有:both/all/every/everyone/everybody/everything/everywhere.

该句型可连接两个并列的主语、谓语、宾语、表语和状语,说话的侧重点在后一部分。当连接两个并列主语时,谓语应同靠近的主语在人称和数上取得一致。

(2)倒装语序

(3)强调句型

It was not until the next day that I knew the truth of it.
(4)注意事项
①在not…until句型中,主句中的动词均为短暂性动词,如leave,start等。而在until的肯定句型中,主句的谓语动词一定要用延续性动词,因为until作为连词和介词意为up to the time when; up to“直到……时”。如:
②until只连接表示时间的短语和从句,不能用于地点和数量。如:
We walked until the edge of the forest.(误)
Our classroom can hold until fifty students.(误)
from time to time
now and again means now and then 时而
sometimes
once in a while
at times
now that; due to; because of; owing to; since; as
now that作“既然”讲时,相当于since。now that中的that 可省去。如:Now(that)you are well again, you can travel, 你既然恢复了健康,就能够旅行了。

owing to“由于、因为”,常在现代英语中与because of, due to换用。如:

nowhere放在句首,该句应使用倒装结构。
Nowhere is there a place for him to settle down.
类似的副词还有hardly scarcely, no sooner,seldom, never, little等。
Of + n.(抽象句词)相当于该名词相应的形容词,在句中可用作表语或补语。
能用于该句型的名词有:help/ use/ value/ importance等。其对应的形容词分别为:helpful/ useful/ valuable/ important.
①This book is of great use/ very useful.这本书很有用。

若表示另外一人也如何如何,则采用倒装形式,把系列动词,情态动词,助动词等提到主语之前;若主语为同一人,表示其就是如何,是系动词等不用提前。
若句子为否定句,则用neither, nor ,如:
I don’t know, nor do I care .我不知道,也不关心。
若前句既有肯定又有否定,或并列谓语形式不一致,则采用so it is with……,或It is the same with……的结构,如:
—— He is writer and has written a lot of works .
—— So it is with me. ( 或It is the same with me)
此时说明我也是作家,也写了很多作品。若用so am I 只能说明我是作家。若用so have I 只能说明我也写了很多作品。再如:
—— He is good at English, but doesn’t do well in maths.
—— It is the same with me .( 或So it is with me )
若用So am I 或 Nor do I 则只能分别说明其中一个方面。

①He got up early in order to catch the first bus.
②I put on my glasses in order to see more clearly.
上面的③句不可简化。但:
He spoke loud so that he could be heard by everyone.可转换为:He spoke loud in order to be heard by everyone.

There are safety measures to follow while training.
该句意为“训练时必须遵守安全措施”,这句话里应注意两点:
①while training 是从属连词与分词连用,在句子中做时间状语。结构“when/while + -ing 或过去分词短语”的使用条件是:
when/while 从句中的主语与主句中的主语相同。如:
You should have dropped in on me when staying here.
除了when/while 外,其他的从属连词如if,as if, though, as
before,after等,也有这样的用法。如:
If heated, ice can be turned into water.
②to follow 是不定式做定语,修饰名词measures,是主动表被动。在There be 句型中,用不定式做的定语时,即就是不定式与所修饰的名词之间是动宾关系,也常用不定式的主动语态形式。如:
There is a lot of work to do.
there be句型:①是一种倒装句式,be后的主语要和be在数上保持一致。如:
There is a pen, two books and some other things on the table.桌上有一支笔,两本书和一些其他的东西。
②there be句型有完成式there have(has)been;有将来式there is
going to(will)be。
③there be句型中可加情态动词。如:
I am sure there used to be a shop near here.我肯定在这附近以前有家商店。
④there be句型中有的be,还可以用其他词表示“有、存在”,there live(一般跟人,有……一个人),there stand(指物,树、高楼之类),there lie(物,如一片土地等)。如:
There stand many tall buildings in our school and there lies a large wheat field in front of it.
我们学校里耸立着许多高楼,校门口是一大片麦田
there is no need…
need 在此为不可数名词,意为“需要”、“必须”,使用时应该注意它使用的句式结构,即我们只能说“There is no need for +n./(for sb.)to do ...”
不能说“It is no need (for sb.)to do sth.”
There is sth.wrong with...,......出问题了,出毛病了。
相当于sth.is wrong with….
①—What’s wrong with you?你怎么了?
—There is something wrong with my back.我的背有点毛病。
②—Is there anything wrong with yous radio?你的收音机出毛病了吗?
—Yes.It doesn’t work.是的,不响了。
think to oneself
该动宾词组意为“心里想”。如:
She was thinking to herself how cold the room was.
Think aloud意为“自言自语”(=talk to oneself)。如:
He stood there with his lips moving as if he talked to
himself/thought aloud.
think up 想出,想起(办法等)
The students try to think up an idea to play football without$being seen.
think over熟虑;think out 想出,想透(问题等)
think of考虑,认为,想起think about 考虑,想出
think aloud自言自语
Think well/highly/much of 篙度赞扬……;对……赞赏、印象好。
①All the teachers think well of Yang Pei.所有老师都对杨蓓印象很好。
②Our work was well thought of.我肎的工作受到了高度评价。
反义词组为:think poorly/little/nothing of
this/that kind of…
┉of this/that kind“葩种……”
析:this/that kind of 后常用“单数名词”;而…of this/that kind前常用“复数名词”。即:
this/that kind of+单数名词=复数名词+of this/that kind
例:This kind of car is made in China.(单数谓语动词)
= Cars of this kind are made in China.(复数谓语动词)
throughout; all over; all through
本组词都有“遍及、贯穿”的意思,但所接名词不同。throughout后接表示时间和地点等名词。如:
He worked throughout the night and the next day.他工作了整整一夜和第二天一天。
The disease spread throughout the country.这种病蔓延全国。
all over一般接表示地点的名词。如:
Just before he was killed, he sent a message to his comrades all over the country.在他被杀害之前,他把信送给了全国各地的同志们。
all through 一般接表示时间的名词。如;
The light was burning all through the night.灯彻夜亮着。

注意:have a good time 过得愉快,have a hard time/have hard times 日子过得艰难

to be honest
该固定词组意为“老实说”,是动词不定式结构,与“to tell the truth”同义,它常用来表达某人的期望。如:

The sentence is too difficult for me to translate.这个句子太难我译不了。
但在以下情况,“too…to ”并不表示否定意义。

常用短语:eat up吃光;tear up撕掉;use up用光;lock up锁住;burn up烧光;get up起床;up and down上上下下,来来往往。
up until…
该结构意为“一直到……为止”,谓动常用完成时态。如:

used to ;would; be used to
(1)used to 表示“过去惯常”,但“现在不做了”,指过去的习惯或状态,to 为不定式符号,后跟动词原形。有两点须注意:
①否定式。used to do sth.的否定式有两种形式:
used not (usedn’t)to do sth.
didn’t use to do sth.例如:
He didn’t use to (usedn’t to)like country music,but now
he is getting interested.
②疑问式。used to do
sth.的疑问式也有两种形式。其简短回答中的to通常不予省略,但动词原形常被省略。
Did + sb.(主语)+ use to do sth.?
Used + sb.(主语)+ to do sth.?
Did he use to play basketball?
Used he to play basketball?
(2)would(可以)是will的过去式,也可表示习惯动作。
①would用于过去将来时。
过去将来时的基本形式是:would+动词原形,在英国英语中,主语是第一人称时,would可换做should,第二、三人称用would。
I thought I would make lots of new friends.我曾认为我会交上许多新朋友。
②would表示过去习惯的动作。
“would + 动词原形”表示过去的习惯动作,与used to 同义,但与used to 有别。Used to do表示过去经常发生的动作或存在的状态,同时隐含有“现在已经有所改变”的意思,而“would+do sth.” 可以用来表示“过去经常发生”,但不表示“过去存在的状态”。
She used to say“No pains,no gains”。
她过去常说:“不劳而获”。(used to可以换为would)
I used to live in the countryside.我过去住在农村。(此句的used to不可用would换用)
(3)be used to具有双重含义:
①be used to是use sth.to do sth的被动形式,意为“被用来干某事”,to为不定式符号。例如:Rice may be used to make wine.
②be used to表示“习惯于……,”be可以换为get或become,表示“开始、变得习惯于……”,to 为介词,其后接名词、代词或动词作宾语。例如:
I’m used to English food.
very当形容词用时,意思为“正是,恰好是……”如果有定语从句则常用that 引导。如:This is the very book(that)I’m after.这正是我要找的书。
waste
It is a waste of time/money to do sth.干……浪费时间(钱)
It’s a waste of time to fix this watch.
watch over
该短语动词意为“照看”,“保护”,“监视”。如:
Will you watch over my clothes while I go shopping.
Watch out(for sth.)意为“注意”,“监视”,“当心”。如:
The doctor told her to watch out for anything unusual.
way(s)后的定语从句
修饰way(s)(方法,方式)的定语从句其关系词可以用in which,that也可省略关系词,但不能直接使用which.如:I feel angry about the way(that)he has treated me./I feel angry about the way in which he has treated me.我对他对待我的方式感到生气。
对比:He found a way that/which led to success.(way在从句中作主语) 他找到了一条通往成功的路。

①I don’t like the way which you laugh at her.
②They didn’t to the experiment the way in that we do now.
key:①在which前加in或改which为that
②改that为which或去掉in

when conj. (就在)这时、那时。用作并列连词,不能置于句首。
① I was listening to music when I heard someone knocking at the door. 我正在听音乐,这时听到有人敲门。

②when意为“当……的时候”,“在……时”,引导时间状语从句。
③when是并列连词(=and then)意为“就在这/那时”,连接两个句子。如:We are about to go to city when it is raining.
whenever,“无论什么时候”,既可引导让步状语从句,也可引导名词性从句,whoever,whichever,whatever,wherever,however等也同样。
“no matter when” 只能引导让步状语从句,no matter what(who,where,which,when,how) 也同样。

work on/ work at
work on与work at可通用,表示“忙于……”。但在work on sth.中,sth是work的具体对象;而在work at sth.中,sth. 只说明所从事工作的性质,即时间、精力用在某一方面的事情上,而不在于说明正在做什么。如:
He is working on/ at a novel.他正在专心写一部小说。
They have worked at this subject for many years.他们从事这项课题的研究已经好多年了。

Worth
be worth doing = be(well)worthy of being done / to be done(很)值得做
The city is worth visiting.这个城市值得参观。
(= The city is worthy of being visited. = The city is worthy to be visited.)
worth; worthy
两者均是形容词,意思是“值得……的”,用法如下:
(1)worthy可以作定语,worth不能。例如:
a worthy rival值得较量的对手
(2)worth后面直接跟名词(多为表示钱或代价的名词),其作用相当于介词;worthy后面接名词时须与of连用(一般不接表示钱的名词)。例如:This second-hand book is worth 100 dollars.这本旧书值100美元。
His deed is worthy of praise.他的事迹值得赞扬。
(3)worth后面可直接跟动名词的主动结构;worthy后接动名词的被动结构,且须与of连用,worthy后也可接不定式的被动式。例如:
This book is worth reading./ This book is worthy of being read./ This book is worthy to be read.这本书值得一读。
The city is worth visiting./The city is worthy to be visited./ The city is worthy of being visited.
(4)表示“很值得”,通常用well修饰,而不用very。例如:
The film is well worth seeing.这部电影很值得一看。
would like 想要;愿意;希望。用来表示愿望,常用结构:
(1)would like sth.
Would you like some beer?想喝点啤酒吗?
(2)would like to do sth.愿意、想要做某事。
第一人称作主语时也可用should,用常用缩写形式。
①He’d like to go there but he is too busy.他想到那里去,但太忙了 。
②I would/should like to study medicine and become a doctor.我想学医当医生。
注意:回答时常用省略形式。
—Would you like to drink some beer? 想喝点啤酒吗?
—Yes ,I’d like to .好吧,喝点。
(3)would like sb.to do sth.想要、希望别人做某事。并不是主语做。
①I would like her to stay in the company.我希望她留在公司里。
②I’d like you to lend some money to him.我想要你借点钱给他。
would like; should like
(1)两个短语均指“想要……”,与want同义,但would(should)like的语气较want婉转或客气。
(2)would like 可用于各种人称;而should like则主要用于第一人称。例如:
He would(不用should)like to be a doctor.他希望当大夫。
We would(不用should)like to hear your views about it.我们想听听你对这个问题的看法。
(3)在疑问句中常用would like,而不用should like。例如:
What would you like for breakfast?你早饭想吃什么?
(4)这两个短语常常简略为’d like,后面可接名词、代词或动词不定式,不接动名词。例如:
Would you like to leave a message?你要不要留话?
误:Would you like leaving a message?
(5)在省略回答中,would like to 中的to 不可省略,只省略to后面的词语(但be 除外)。例如:
①—Would you like to join us tonigh?
—Oh, I’d like to (join you),but I have a friend to see off at the station.
② —Would you like to be a singer?
—Yes,I’d like to be (a singer).
would say总是会说……
would有过去、常常……之意,但它与used to 的用法不相同的。
①表示过去持续的状态或感情总是used to 而不是would。因此,would不与表示状态的动词连用。
There used to be a hospital/here.(√)
这里过去有一所医院。
There would be…(×)
②used to 和would都可以表示过去规则的行为,但通常would是在过去不大规则的行为时,或主语的关心、感慨等主观因素较强时使用,而used to 则在客观地陈述相当期间的规则行为时使用。
“I’ll leave this job for a better one”,he would say when he was scolded by his boss.
③“would”常与“often,sometimes,for hours”等表示时间的副词(短语)连用。
④与现在或将来比较而表示“以前经常……”的意思时,用used to。
He will not have the money to spend on books as he used to.
“喜欢”的表示方法
英语中,表示“喜欢”的动词或词组有若干个,它们的语气强弱不同,有重有轻,意思也不完全一样,下面分别举例说明:
(1)love 意为“热爱”,指引起深厚的、强烈的感情的爱,并有一种依附意,语气最重。如:
His mother,whom he loved deeply,died when he was only a small boy.他深深爱戴着他的母亲,当他小的时候,她与世长辞了。
I love doing comedies .我喜欢演喜剧。
(2)be fond of 表示“喜欢” “热爱”,也表示对某人或某事有感情,语气次于“love”。如:
Ants are fond of sweet food.蚂蚁喜欢吃甜食。
I’m fond of this child.我喜欢这个小孩。
(3)care for意为“喜欢、对……有兴趣”。如:
The girl cares much for new clothes.这个女孩很喜欢新衣服。
They do not care very greatly for art.他们对艺术不是很感兴趣。
(4)like意为“喜欢”,指不反感,但不引起强烈的感情和迫切的愿意,反义词为dislike.如:
Do you like reading?你喜欢阅读吗?
I like to read in bed.我喜欢在床上看书。
(5)enjoy意为“欣赏”“喜欢”,具有满足感,如:
I enjoy foreign music.我喜欢外国音乐。
Most students enjoy asking questions in English.大部分学生喜欢用英语问问题。
(6)go in for“喜欢(做某类事)、有某种习惯或做法”。如:
What sports do you go in for?你喜欢哪些体育运动?
We don’t go in for that sort of thing.我们不喜欢那种事情。

“一……就……”英语表达法
On his arrival he was sold to farmer and worked in the fields.他一到就被卖给一个农场主,开始在田里劳动。
The moment he reached the country,he started his search.他一到那个国家,就开始寻找。
以上例句中的On his arrival和The moment均含“一……就……”“刚……就……”之意。下面就该意义的四种表达方式予以归纳。
(1)as soon as 归纳:
①as soon as 引出的时间状语从句既可以放在主句之前,也可放在主句之后,表示它所指的动作发生在另一分句所指的动作之前。
②as soon as 可以与动词的一般现在时,一般过去时或完成时态连用,主句的动词使用相应的动词现在时,过去时或将来时。如:
He started as soon as he received the news.
他一得到消息就出发了。
As soon as he had got into the car, I said“good morning”to him in French and he replied in the same
language. 他一上车,我就用法语向他道了声早安,他也用法语作了回答。
(2)hardly/scarcely/barely…when/before…no sooner…than…归纳:
①注意搭配关系;hardly/scarcely/barely和no sooner不可以放在when/before和than之后。
②hardly/scarcely/barely和no sooner否定词位于句首时,句中的主语和谓语必须部分倒装。
③hardly/scarcely/barely和no sooner引导的是主句,表示它的动作发生在从句之前,故常用过去完成时;而when/before和than引导的从句只能与一般过去时连用。
④该句型含“惊奇”之意。如:
Mrs Winthrop had no sooner left the room than they began to gossip about her.温思罗太太刚离开房间,他们就议论起她来了。
Scarcely/Hardly/Barely had he begun to speak when I sensed that he was in trouble.
他刚一开口,我就感到他遇到麻烦事了。
No sooner had we set out than a thunderstorm broke.我们一动身就遇上了大雷雨。
(3)the moment/the instant归纳:
名词短语the moment/instant/minute/second和副词immediately/
directly可以用做连词,相当于as soon as,引导的是时间状语从句;从句既可放在句首,也可放在句中。如:
The moment I saw him, I knew that there was no hope.一见到他,我就知道没希望了。
The instant you leave this tent, you will get a big surprise. 你一出账篷,便会大吃一惊。
We will leave the minute you’re ready.你一准备好,我们就走。
She returned immediately she heard the bad news.她一听到这个坏消息,就返了回来。
I left directly the clock struck twelve.钟一敲十二点我就离开了。
(4)on + 动名词(或表示动作的名词)归纳:
动名词(或名词)结构表示它所表达的动作刚一发生或完成,句子谓语所表示的动作就接着发生。它相当于as soon as 引导的时间状语从句。如:
On arriving in England, they were taken to the Grystal Palace by train.他们一到英国便乘火车去水晶宫。
On his return from Europe, he set to work in earnest.他一从欧洲回来,便开始认真工作。
He was greeted by the Prime Minister on his arrival at the airport.他一到机场,便受到总理的欢迎。
另外,each time, every time如同上面四种类型一样,可直接用作从属连词,引导状语从句。如:
Every time I listen to his advice, I get into trouble. 我每次听了他的劝告,都会遇到麻烦。
I’ll think of my hometown each time I listen to that song.我每次听这首歌,都会想起家乡。
引导从句的词常有:when/while/whenever/before/after/until/till/和if/unless/though,但简化必须符合下面两个条件。
(1)当从句与主句主语一致,且从句谓语有be的某种形式时,常可以把从句的主语及be省略掉。
①Be careful when(you are) crossing the street 过马路的时候要小心。
②While (he was)walking along the sands.Crusoe saw some footprints in the sand.克鲁索沿沙滩走着的时候,看到沙子上有些脚印。
③I won’t go to her party unless(I am) invited.要是不受到邀请,我就不去参加她的宴会。
④He knows many things though(he is)very young.他年龄不大,但知道的事不少。
(2)当从句为it is + adj.时,也常将it is省略掉。
①When (it is)possible,I’ll go to Beijing to see you.可能的时候,我将去北京看你。
②If (it is)necessary, I’ll come tomorrow.必要的话,明天我就来。
只能接动名词作宾语的词

tand
