by the time 的用法
by the time 意为“到……时候(为止)”,是一
个介词短语,在句中常起到连词的作用,
引导时间状语从句。
如果从句中的谓语动词是一般过去式,那么主句的谓语动词通常用过去完成时,表示“截止到从句动作发生时,主句动作已经完成,即过去的过去”。
例:By the time you came back, I had
finished this book.
你回来时我已经把这本书看完了。
(从句谓语动词came back 为一般过去
时,所以主句动作用过去完成时had
finished, 表示过去的过去。)
2. 如果从句中的谓语动词为一般现在时或现在完成时,那么从句中的谓语动词常用将来完成时,表示“截止到将来的某一时刻为止,主句动作将已完成。”
例:By the time I get home, they will have
left. 我到家时他们将已经离开。
By the time I graduate next year, I will
have lived here for five years. 到明年毕
业时,我将已经在这待了五年了。
