状语从句用法详解 ‎ By Mr Gong 一、时间状语从句 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 having 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 waved 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. 他正要上床，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 newspaper. 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……。‎ I am fond of English while he likes math. 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 the 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。‎ 虽然during 与 while 意思很相近，但是during是介词，不能引导从句。‎ ‎3．as ‎①as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。‎ I saw Jim as when he left the meeting room.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，此用法不用when或while替代。‎ 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 having 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。‎ ‎【注意】as 引导时间状语从句表示“当……的时候”“在……期间”时，该从句的谓语通常是那些表示动作意义的动词，而不能是be(是、在), have(有)，like(喜欢)，belong(属于)等表示状态或静态意义的动词。‎ ‎【误】I’m going to the post office.—As you are there, can you get me some stamps?‎ ‎【正】I’m going to the post office.—While you are there, can you get me some stamps?‎ 我打算去邮局。——当你在邮局的时候，请帮我买几张邮票好吗?‎ 正因为 as 引导时间状语从句表示“当……的时候”“在……期间”时，从句的谓语不能是表示状态或静态意义的动词，所以当下面第一句变为第二句这样的状语从句时，不能再用 as，而应用 when：‎ As a student he had known great poverty.＝When he was a student he had known great poverty. ‎ 他当学生时，经历过很贫困的生活。‎ 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，此时不用as或while。‎ 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, the 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。‎ You are always welcome whenever you come. 无论你何时来都欢迎。‎ Whenever we met with difficulties, they came to help us. 每当我们遇上困难的时候，他们就来帮我们。‎ B． before, after ‎1．before ‎ before表示在一段时间之前。‎ ‎ I must finish all the work before I go home. 回家之前我必须干完所有的活。‎ ‎ You must first learn to walk before you try to run.在想要跑以前，你得先学会走。‎ ‎ He had learned English for three years before he went to London. 他去伦敦之前已学了三年英语。‎ She didn’t go out before she finished her homework.她把作业做完才出去的。(=not……until……)‎ 提示： before 从句往往带有否定的含义，常译为：还没等到….就….；还没来得及…就……趁着还没……就……。作此意时，从句中常见情态动词can/ could。‎ He ran off before I could stop him. 我还没来得及阻止他，他就跑掉了。‎ The man hung up the phone before I could answer it.我没坐多久他就回来了。‎ He almost knocked me down before he saw me. 他几乎把我撞倒才看到我。‎ Before I could get in a word, he measured me. 我还来得及插话，他就给我量好了尺寸。‎ I’ll water the flowers before it gets dark. 我要趁着天还没黑把花浇好水。‎ Be a pupil before you

over. 放学后我们踢足球吧。‎ The sun came out soon after the storm stopped. 暴风雨过后不久，太阳出来了。‎ C．till, until ‎1．until till用于肯定句时，表示直到  为止，主句必须为持续性动词。‎ We shall wait until  till he comes back.我们将一直等到他回来。 (注意它们的拼写)‎ Everything went well until till that accident happened.直到发生那意外之前，一切都正常。‎ ‎2． Not……until /till……表示直到……才……  ，主句通常要用短暂动词，这时until和till 可用before代替。Not 有时被no, nobody, nothing, never, hardly, little

frost off the ground than the work began. 地上的霜一消散，人们就开始工作了。‎ Hardly / Scarcely had I got home when it began to rain.=No sooner had I got home than it began to rain.我一回到家，天就开始下起雨来。‎ I．once

‎【区别】such/ so……that……引导的状语从句和such/ so……as……引导的定语从句。‎ He is such a clever boy that we everyone likes him. (状语从句)‎ He is so clever a boy that we everyone likes him (状语从句)‎ He is such a clever boy as everyone likes. ( 定语从句)‎ He is so clever a boy as everyone likes. ( 定语从句)‎ She had such a fright that she fainted.她吓得昏了过去。‎ Luckily such earthquakes as can cause a lot of damage do no happen very often.‎ 很幸运，这种破坏性很大的地震并不经常发生。（关系代词as在定语从句中作主语）‎ D．such that such that可以连用，意思是（是）这样...以致。‎ Mother's answer was such that she didn't say yes and she didn't say no. 妈妈的回答就是这样，既没有同意也没有不同意。‎ His anger was such that he lost control of himself. 他勃大怒，以致不能自制。‎ 六、条件状语从句 ‎ 条件状语从句是表示主句动作发生的前提或条件的从句。条件状语从句分为真实条件状语从句和非真实条件状语从句。引导条件状语从句的有 if, unless, so as long as, as so far as, on condition that, in case, suppose, supposing等。‎ A .if真实条件句 真实条件句表示的假设是可能发生或实现的，主句和从句的谓语动词都要用陈述语气。‎ If he doesn't come at 8, we won't wait for him. 如果他八点不来，我们就不等他了。‎ If a flood happened in the past, there was usually a great loss of life and property.  过去发生洪水的话，常有很大的生命和财产损失。‎ We shall go there unless it rains tomorrow. 如果明天不下雨，我们将去那里。‎ B．if非真实条件句 在含有非真实条件句的复合句中，假设的情况是不存在的或不大可能发生的，主句和从句的谓语动词都要用虚拟语气，其构成有三种形式：‎ 与现在事实相反  if条件句的谓语：were/ did 主句的谓：would (could/ should/ might) + do 与过去事实相反  if条件句的谓语：had done ‎ 主句的谓：would(could/ should/ might) + have done 与将来事实相反if条件句的谓语：did/ were 或 should do 或 were to do ‎ 主句的谓：would (could/ should/ might) + do   ‎ ‎1． 表示与现在事实相反的条件 条件从句用动词的过去式（be动词用were），主句用should（第一人称）或would（全 人称）+动词原形。可用情态动词could, might代替should, would表示情态。‎ If it were Sunday tomorrow, I would go and see my friends. 明天要是星期天的话，我就去看望 我的朋友。‎ If I were you, I should go and try. 我要是你，我就去试试。‎ If wishes were horses, beggars might ride.如果幻想能成为马匹，叫花子都有了坐骑 ‎2．表示与过去事实相反的条件 条件从句用动词的过去完成时，主句用should（第一人称）或would（全部人称）+have done，也可用could, might代替should, would。‎ If I had known your telephone number yesterday, I would have telephoned you. 如果昨天我知道你的电话号码，我就给你打电话了。‎ If it had not rained this morning, I should have gone shopping. 今天早上要是没下雨，我就去买东西了 ‎ ‎3． 表示在将来不太可能实现的条件 表示在将来不太可能实现的条件从句有三种形式：‎ ‎ ① were/ did 条件从句用动词的过去式（be动词用were），主句用should（第一人称）或would（全部人称）+动词原形。也可用could, might代替should, would。‎ ‎ If he were here tomorrow, I would speak to him. 明天如果他在这里的话，我就和他谈谈。‎ If you dropped the glass, it would break. 你要是把杯子掉下来，会打碎的。‎ If she had time, she could help me. 她要是有时间，就会帮我了。‎ ‎② should do 条件从句中不管什么人称都用should do，可表示有偶然实现的可能性。‎ If it should rain, the crops could be saved. 假如下雨，庄稼可能就有救了。‎ We would trust him if he should be honest. 如果他真是诚实的，那我们就相信他。 ‎ ‎③ were to do 条件从句用were + to do。这种形式比较正式，常出现在书面语中，其假设成份很大，实现的可能性很小。‎ If I were to do the work, I should do it in a different way. 要是我做这项工作，我就会以不同的方式去做。‎ If the headmaster were to come, what would we say to him 假如校长来了，我们对他说什么呢？‎ 对比：‎ 将来不太可能实现的三种非真实条件句中的虚拟语气对比 If it snowed tomorrow, I would stay at home. 如果明天下雪的话，我就留在家里。（常用形式）‎ If it should snow tomorrow, I would stay at home. 如果明天下雪的话，我就留在家里。（可能性较小）‎ If it were to snow tomorrow, I would stay at home. 如果明天要下雪的话，我就留在家里。（可能性最小）‎ C．省略if的条件句（if的倒装句）‎ 在书面语中，非真实条件句中有were, had, should时，可以省略if，而把were, had, should放在主语前，用倒装结构。‎ Were I you, I would go.如果我是你的话，我就要去。(= If I were you, ……)‎ Were it necessary, I might go without delay. 如果需要的话，我可以立即去。（= If it  were necessary......）‎ Had I not taken his advice, I wouldn’t have passed the exam.我要是没听他的建议的话，我就不会通过考试。(If I hadn’t take his advice, ……)‎ ‎ Had you taken my advice, you wouldn't have failed in the exam. 你要是听了我的建议，就不会考试不及格了。（= If you had taken my advice......）‎ Should I have time, I would call on her. 要是有时间，我就去看她。（= If I should have time......）‎ Were it not to rain, I would go to the park.要是明天不下雨的话，我就会去公园的。(If it were not to rain, I ……)‎ D．错综时间的条件句 虚拟条件句中的主句和从句涉及的动作发生的时间不一致，这时主句和从句的谓语形式应按照各自动作发生的实际时间来表达。‎ If you hadn't watched TV yesterday, you wouldn't be so sleepy now. 如果你昨天不看电视，你现在也就不会这么困了。（从句yesterday说明过去，主句now说明现在）‎ If they had left home early this morning, they would arrive in half an hour. 如果他们今天一早就离开家的话，再过半小时他们就该到了。（从句说明过去，主句说明将来。）‎ If you hesitated this moment, you might suffer in the future. 如果你此刻犹豫不决，你将来会吃苦头的。（从句说明现在，主句说明将来）‎ 注意：在很多情况下，我们也可以用was来代替当主语是第一人称或第三人称单数时的were。‎ If were here tomorrow...   也可以说成：If he was here tomorrow...‎ I wish I were a bird.也可以说成：I wish I was a bird.‎ 但倒装句型中的were不可被was来替换。‎ Were I in your position, I would not do it.如果我处在你的位置，我是不会干这件事的。‎ E．含蓄条件句 非真实条件句中的条件从句有时不表达出来，只暗含在上下文中，这种句子叫做含蓄条件句。含蓄条件句大体有三种情况：‎ ‎1．条件暗含在单词短语中：常见介词有with假如有, without假如没有, but for要不是因为； 连词有or/ otherwise（前句用陈述语气，后句用虚拟）；but（前句为虚拟，后句陈述）‎ He would not get such a result without your help. 没有你的帮助，他就不会有今天的成果。(条件暗含在介词短语without your help= if you hadn’t help me中)‎ But for you, I could not be recovered so soon. 要不是有你，我就不会恢复得这么快。(条件暗含在But for you= If you hadn’t help me中)‎ This same thing, happening in the past, would lead to a disaster.　同样的事，如发生在过去，就会酿成大祸。(条件暗含在分词短语中happening in the past= if it happened in the past)‎ He must have been there, or he never could know the place so well.　他一定是去过那儿，否则他绝不会对那个地方如此熟悉。(暗含条件是连词or；后句为虚拟)‎ I would have been to your place, but I was really too busy.我本来要到你那里的，但我确实太忙了。=I was really too busy, or/ otherwise I would have been to your place. 我确实太忙了，要不然我就去你处了。‎ She was ill, otherwise she would have been present at the meeting. 她病了，否则的话就会出席会议了。（条件通过连词otherwise/ or表示出来 If she had not been ill...）‎ I told him to go there himself, but perhaps I should have gone together with him. 我让他自己去那里，但也许我应该和他一道去。（连词but暗示条件）‎ ‎2．条件可根据上下文推理出 It would do you no good. 这可能会对你没好处。(条件可能是if you should give up the job 如果你放弃这项工作的话)‎ They could have won.　他们本来是会赢的。(条件可能是if they had been patient 如果他们有耐心的话)‎ Such mistakes could have been avoided. 这种错误完全能避免。（条件可能是if you had been more careful 如果你更加小心一点的话）‎ Why didn't you tell me about it I should have helped you. 为什么你不告诉我？我会帮助你的（条件可能是if you had told me about it 如果你当时告诉我的话）‎ ‎--- Did you go to see him yesterday 你昨天去看他了吗？‎ ‎-- I would have, but someone dropped over to my house for a visit. 原想去的，但有人到我家来玩了。（条件是if no one had dropped over to my house for a visit 如果没人到我家来玩的话）‎ ‎3．条件用其他形式来表示 She was ill, otherwise she would have been present at the meeting. 她病了，否则的话就会出席会议了。（条件通过连词otherwise/or表示出If she had not been ill...）‎ Suppose you were in my shoes, what would you do 假若你站在我的立场上，你会怎么办？（用suppose/ supposing/ providing等词表示if To talk with her, you would know she could not hear well. 如果你同她交谈，你就会知道她的听力不好。（动词不定式带有假设的意思，相当于 If you should talk with her...）‎ Left to himself, he could not have finished the work. 要是放任他的话，他是不可能完成工作的。（动词的-ed形式表示条件 If he had been left to himself...）‎ 提示：  在很多情况下，虚拟式已变成习惯说法，很难找出其暗含的条件。‎ You wouldn't know.　你不会知道。I would like to go with you.　我愿意和你一起去。‎ ‎【 比较】‎ ‎ if only和only if的对比。‎ ‎ if only 解释但愿，要是��就好了，表示一个不可能实现愿望，要用虚拟语气。‎ ‎ only if 解释只有，等于only on condition that，从句用陈述语气。‎ Only if you heat ice, it turns to water.只有当你给冰加热，它才会变成水。‎ If only I knew!要是我知道该多好 ‎ If only I were you!假如我是你该多好啊！‎ If only I had followed your advice!要是我听了你的话建议该多好啊！‎ F．unless unless = if not, 表示反面条件，意思是如果不、除非。‎ They will go tomorrow unless it rains.除非明天下雨，否则他们会去的。（They will go tomorrow if it doesn't rain.）I won't let you in unless you show me your pass.如果你不出示通行证，我就不让你进来。（= I won't let you in if you don't show me your pass. ）‎ ‎【 注意】‎ ‎ if...not和unless通常是可以换用的。但在下列情况下，两者是有区别的：‎ ‎ 1．unless多引导真实条件句，if�not可以引导真实条件句或非真实条件句。‎ ‎ He won’t be able to pass the final exams unless he works hard. 除非他努力，否则就通过不了期末考试。‎ ‎ He won't be able to pass the final exams if he doesn't work hard. 如果他不努力，就通过不了期末考试。‎ ‎ He would pass the final exams if he worked hard. 要是他努力的话，他就会通过考试。（非真实条件句。含义是He doesn’t work hard.）‎ ‎2．如果主句描述的是情感或情绪活动方面的内容，if�not结构不能换成unless。如：‎ ‎ I'll be quite glad if she doesn't come this evening.她今晚如果不来我很高兴。‎ ‎3．unless引导的状语从句可用否定结构，而if�not引导的从句不可再用否定结构。‎ ‎ Don't ask me to explain again unless you really don't understand.不要再叫我解释了，除非你真的不懂。‎ ‎4．unless能作为介词使用，相当于except，而if�not不可以。‎ Nothing will come out of it unless disaster.这种事除非引起灾祸之外不会有什么结果。‎ G．so long as, as long as, on condition that 这几个短语意思差不多，都表示只要，条件是……。‎ As So long as we don't lose heart, we'll find a way to overcome the difficulty.只要我们不灰心，我们就能找到克服困难的方法。‎ ‎ You may use the room on condition that so long as you clean it afterwards.只要你用完后打扫干净，你就可以使用这个房间。‎ H．in case in case 既引导目的状语从句，也可以引导条件状语从句，等于if it happens that。‎ In case I forget, please remind me of my promise.如果我忘了，请提醒我所做的承诺。‎ Send s a message in case you have any difficulty.万一你有什么困难，请给我们一个信儿。‎ I．providing, provided that, supposing, suppose that, given that 这几个短语意思相近，有如果，只要，假如等意思。‎ Given that they are inexperienced, they've done a good job. 考虑到他们缺乏经验，他们的工作已做得很好了。(that可以省略)‎ provided Providing（that）we invite him, he would surely come to dinner. 假如我们邀请他的话，他肯定会来吃饭的。‎ Suppose Supposing we can't get enough food, what shall we do 假设我们弄不到足够的食物，那我们怎幺办？（仅用于疑问句）‎ 七、方式状语从句 方式状语从句是描述动作方式的从句。方式状语从句常由as, as if as though等词引导。‎ A．as, （just） as…so…‎ 其引导的方式状语从句通常位于主句后，但在（just）、as…so…结构中位于句首，这时as从句带有比喻的含义，意思是"正如…"，"就像"，多用于正式文体。这两个连词的意思是如……，正如……一样。just as 比as 语气要强一些。‎ Always do to the others as you would be done by. 你希望人家怎样待你，你就要怎样待人。 ‎ As water is to fish, so air is to man. 我们离不开空气，犹如鱼儿离不开水。 ‎ Just as we sweep our rooms, so we should sweep backward ideas from our minds. ‎ 正如打扫房屋一样，我们也要扫除我们头脑中落后的东西。‎ Do in Rome as the Romans do. 入乡随俗。‎ Leave things as they are. 让一切顺其自然。‎ Please do as you are told.请按照人家告诉你做的去做。（也可说Please do as told.）‎ Balloons float in the air just as boats do on the sea.气球在空中就如同船浮在海面上一样。‎ ‎【注意】在口语中，还可用like来代替as，引导一个方式状语从句。‎ She is doing the work exactly like I want her to. 她正在完全按照我要她的那样在做这项工作。‎ Do you make bread like you make cakes你做面包的方法是不是和做点心一样？‎ B．as if, as though ‎ 由as if 或as though引导的状语从句可以用陈述语气表示可能符合事实的情况，用陈述语气，表示所说情况是事实或实现的可能性较大；也可以用虚拟语气的一般过去时或过去完成时表示与现在或过去不符的或与事实相反的情况。汉译常作"仿佛……似的"，"好像……似的"。‎ It looks as if the weather may pick up very soon. 看来天气很快就会好起来。（实现的可能性较大，谓语用陈述语气。）‎ She looks as if she is ill. 看上去她好象是生病了。‎ The boy plays piano as though he has a natural ear for music.这孩子弹起钢琴来家好象天生很懂音乐似的。‎ 由as if 或as though引导的状语从句可以用陈述语气表示可能符合事实的情况，也可以用虚拟语气表示与事实不符或与事实相反的情况。‎ a. 表示与现在事实不相符，用一般过去时 The teacher treats the pupil as if he were her own child. 这位老师对待这位学生就像自己的亲生孩子一样。（这位学生并不是她的亲生孩子）‎ They completely ignore these facts as if （as though） they never existed. 他们完全忽略了这些事实，就仿佛它不存在似的。（与事实相反谓语用虚拟语气。）‎ b. 表示与过去事实不相符，用过去完成时 I felt as though we had known each other for years. 我感觉我们好像认识多年了。（其实并没有认识多年）‎ He looks as if （as though） he had been hit by lighting. 他那样子就像被雷击了似的。（与事实相反，谓语用虚拟语气。）‎ c. 表示与将来事实不相符，用would/ might/ could It looks as if it might rain. 天看上去好像要下雨。（不大可能下雨）‎ 对比：‎ He looks as if he is young. 看样子他好像很年轻。（他就是年轻）‎ He looks as if he were young. 看样子他好像很年轻。（实际上他不年轻）‎ They talked loudly as if nobody were around.他们大声说话仿佛周围没人似的 ‎【注意】as if / as though也可以引导一个分词短语、不定式短语或无动词短语。‎ He stared at me as if seeing me for first time. ‎ 他目不转睛地看着我，就像第一次看见我似的。 ‎ He cleared his throat as if to say something. 他清了清嗓子，像要说什么似的。 ‎ The waves dashed on the rocks as if in anger. 波涛冲击着岩石，好像很愤怒。‎ 八、比较状语从句 ‎ 比较状语从句由as, than引导。‎ A．as...as, the same as用于同等程度级的比较。否定句用not soas � as, not the same �as。‎ Our country is as big as the whole of Europe. 我们的国同整个欧洲一样大。‎ The result was not asso good as I had expected. 结果不如我预料的那么好。‎ She works in the same building as my sister.她和我的妹妹在同一大楼上班。‎ B．than ‎ than表示不同程度级的比较 It rains mor often in Shanghai than in Beijing.上海下的雨比北京的多。‎ He is two inches taller than his father. = He is taller than his father by two inches.他比他爸爸高两英寸。‎ ‎【注意】在比较从句中通常把和主句重复的部分省掉，如果把省略部分补上，而显得累赘或不合乎习惯。‎ Lily isn't so clever a girl as Lucy is.莉莉是一个不如露西那样聪明的女孩。（如说成：Lily isn't so clever a girl as Lucy is clever 显得累赘）‎ The child sang as sweetly as a nightingale.这孩子歌唱得同夜莺般婉转。‎ C．the more..., the more...‎ 这是表示比例的比较，意思是越……就越……。第一个the more 也可以看成是一个条件。‎ The more you read, the better you understand. 你看的书越多，你懂得就越多。（= If you read more, you will understand better.）‎ The busier he is, the happier he feels. 他越忙越开心。‎ The more difficult the questions are, the less likely I am to be able to answer them. 问题越困难，我就越可能回答。‎ ‎【必背】倍数的表达法：一些常见的倍数比较句型。‎ ‎①倍数+ 名词（+of +比较对象）。常用名词：age, size, width, length, depth等。‎ His father is double /twice his age.他爸爸的年龄是他的两倍。‎ Our new school is four times the size of the old one. 我们的新学校是老学校的四倍。‎ ‎②倍数+as……as+ 比较对象 His father is twice /double as old as he (is).他爸爸的年龄是他的两倍。‎ Our new school is four times as big as the old ne. 我们的新学校是老学校的四倍大。‎ ‎③倍数+形容词/ 副词比较级+than+ 比较对象 Our new school is three times bigger than the old one.我们的新学校比老学校大三倍。‎ The room is twice the size of that one.= The room is twice as big as that one.‎ The room is twice bigger than that one.‎ 九、让步状语从句 让步状语从句表示在某种相反的条件下，主句中的情况依然会出现。让步状语从句由although, though, however, whatever, whoever, whomever, whichever, whenever, wherever, whether（是否）, no matter (who, what, etc), even if, even though等词引导。‎ A．although, though这两个词意思一样，都解释虽然，尽管。although比though正式。‎ ‎1．although指事实，多用于句首。多数情况下可与though换用。‎ Although he is young, he is very clever.他尽管年轻，但很聪明。‎ Although his illness had prevented him from studying, he managed to pas the exam.尽管病情妨碍了他学习，但他还是通过了考试。‎ It was an exciting game, although no goals were scored.那是一场精彩的球赛，尽管一个球都没进。（although也可放在主句之后）‎ ‎2．though既指事实，又指设想。可用于句首、句中或句末。‎ Though he is poor, he is happy.他虽然穷，但很快乐。‎ I haven't checked the information yet, though I thik it is correct.我还没有核实这份资料，但我认为它错不了。‎ My house, though it is large, is also made of stone and wood.我的房子虽然大，但是也是用石头和木料搭成的。‎ ‎【 提示】 有时though= and yet=however但是，然而，放在句子末尾，前面用逗号。‎ It was hard work; I enjoyed it, though.那工作很苦，但是我喜欢干。（= It was hard work, but I enjoyed it.）‎ It’s hard work; I enjoy it, though. 工作很辛苦，可是我乐意干。‎ He is looking fit, though. 但他看起来很健康。‎ You can count on him, though. 不过你可以指靠他。‎ ‎3．though从句有时可以倒装，将从句中的一部分提置句首，把表语或状语提前(名词、形容词、副词、分词、实义动词提前).句首名词不能带任何冠词；如句首是实义动词,助动词放在主语后.如果实义动词有宾语和状语,随实义动词一起放在主语之前.‎ Child though he is, he knows a lot. 尽管他是个孩子,他懂得的东西却很多.(=Although he is a child, he knows a lot.）‎ Strange though it may look, it is true.尽管看起来奇怪，但是却是真的。 (= Though it looks strange, it is true.)‎ Try hard as he will, he never seems able to do the work satisfactorily.= Though he tries hard, he never seems…虽然他尽了努力,但他的工作总做的不尽人意.‎ ‎【注意】although, though不能与but连用，但是可以与yet, still, nevertheless连用。‎ Although Though he blames me, yet I will trust him.尽管他责怪我，但我还是愿意信任他。‎ Though he was hungry, still he would not eat.尽管他饿了，但是他仍然不想吃。‎ B．even if, even though这两个词语气比though, although强，解释即使，两者可以通用。‎ We won't be discouraged even if though we fail ten times.我们就是失败十次也不泄气。‎ Even if though you fail, you will have gained experience.纵然你失败，你也会得到一些经验。‎ C．while, whereas这两个词也可引导让步状语从句，突出主句和从句的对比。‎ While I understand what you say, I can't agree with you.虽然我理解你的意思，但我还是不同意。‎ Some people like fat meat, whereas others hate it.有些人喜欢肥肉，相反有些人讨厌肥肉。‎ D．no matter (who, what, where, when, etc)这几个词引导的让步状语从句语气十分强烈。‎ This is not true, no matter who says so. 不管谁这么说，都不对。‎ Do it no matter what others say.不管别人怎么说，尽管干。‎ No matter how bus he was, he studied English every day.不管他多忙，他都每天坚持学习英语。‎ E．however, whatever, whenever, wherever 这些词在意思上和用法上都等于no matter how /what……‎ Whatever happens may happen, we shall never lose hope.无论发生什么，我们都不要失去信心。（有时从句中的动词与may连用）‎ However (=No matter how) expensive it may be, I'll take it.无论它有多贵，我也要买下它。‎ Don't let them in, whoever (=no matter who) they are.不管他们是谁，别让他们进来。‎ ‎【注意】no matter 不能引导主语从句和宾语从句。 ‎ ‎【误】No matter what you say is of no use now. ‎ ‎【正】Whatever you say is of no use now. 你现在说什么也没用了。（Whatever you say是主语从句） ‎ ‎【误】Prisoners have to eat no matter what they're given, ‎ ‎【正】Prisoners have to eat whatever they're given.囚犯们只能给什么吃什么。‎ F．whether...or (not) ...‎ whether...or (not) ...意思是不管……还是……。‎ Whether you believe it or not, it's true. 不管你信不信，这是真的。‎ Whether the weather is good or bad, they will set off as planned. 不管天气是好还是坏，他们都要按计划启程。‎ ‎【 提示】也可直接用or来连接两个相同结构来表示让步。‎ Walking or sleeping, she always has the question in her mind.无论走路还是睡觉，她总是想着这个问题。‎ G．as 连词as，同though一样，也可以引导让步状语从句，但从句中要用特殊语序。‎ Young as he is, he knows a lot. 他虽然年轻，但懂得很多。(= Though he is young, he�.)‎ Cold as it is, the children play outdoors.虽然天气冷，但孩子们仍在户外玩。‎ H．if if 有时也可用于让步状语从句，相当于even if。‎ If he is poor, he is at least honest. 尽管他穷，但至少他很诚实。‎ We'll go if it rains. 即使下雨我们也要去。‎ I'll do it if I die in the attempt. 即使会丧命我也要试一下。‎ I．when 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？‎ He refuses help when he has many friends. 他虽有许多朋友，但却拒绝其援助。‎ J. granting that, granted that, admitting (that), for all (that), in spite of the fact, despite the fact that等 Granted this is true, you are still in the wrong. 这话即使真实，你仍然是错的。‎ Admitting that he is naturally clever, we do not think he will make much improvement. as he pays no attention to his lessons. 他即使天资聪颖，我们也不认为他会有多大长进，因为他对功课不上心。‎ They are good people, for all that their ways are not the same as ours. 他们是好人，尽管他们的生活习惯和我们的不同。‎
