要点精析
1.while与when
(1)while意为“当···.··的时候;在·····期间”,其谓语动词必须为延续性动词,常用于过去进行时态中。如:
While he was walking in the park, the accident happened.当他在公园里散步时,意外发生了。
(2)when 意为“当······的时候”,其谓语动词可以是延续性动词,也可以是非延续性动词。如:
The sun was rising when we got to the top of the mountain.当我们到达山顶时,太阳正在升起。2.so...that与so that
(1)so...that是“so+形容词或副词+that...”的句型,引导结果状语从句,意为“如此······以至于”。如:
When the football fans saw Beckham, they got so excited that they cried out. 当足球迷们看到贝克汉姆时,他们激动地大声喊叫起来。
(2)so that引导目的状语从句时,意为“以便;为了”,从句中常使用can/could/may/might/will/would/should 等情态动词;引导结果状语从句时,从句中一般不用can和may等词,在so that前可以用逗号,意为“因此;所以”。如:
The little boy saved every coin so that he could buy his mother a present on Mother's Day.这个小男孩省下每一分钱,以便在母亲节时能为他母亲买礼物。
3.rise与raise
(1)rise意为“升起;提高;增加”,是不及物动词,主语常为物。如:
The sun is rising.太阳正在升起。
(2)raise意为“升起;提高;增加”,是及物动词,主语常为人。如:
The girl raised the box to the truck.女孩将箱子搬到了卡车上。
4.asleep,sleepy与sleeping
(1)asleep 意为“睡着的”,常作表语。如:
He is asleep on the sofa. 他在沙发上睡着了。
(2)sleepy 意为“要睡的;困倦的”,可作表语和定语。如:
I feel sleepy. I'm going to bed. 我感到困了,我要去睡了。
(3)sleeping意为“睡着的”,作定语;还可以表示与睡有关的东西,如:sleeping car卧铺车厢。如:
A young woman with a sleeping baby in her arms got on the bus.一个年轻妇女,怀里抱着一个睡着的婴儿,上了公共汽车。
