状语从句Adverbial clause
时间状语从句:
引导词:
when each/every time
whenever next time
as the moment
while the minute
before
after
until (till)
since
as soon as
once
when, while 和as
when既可引导一个持续动作,也可引导一个短暂动作,可用于主句和从句动作同时发生,也可用于从句动作先于主句动作。如:
When I lived there, I used to go to the seashore on Sunday.
我住在那里时,星期天常到海滨去。
从属连词while引导的动作必须是持续性的,侧重主句动作和从句动作相对比。如:
Please don’t talk so loud while others are working. 别人在工作时,别高声谈话。
从属连词as可表示从句和主句的两个动作交替进行或同时进行,可译为“一边…, 一边…”,或“随着….”。
As time goes on, it’s getting warmer and warmer.
随着时间的推移,天气变得越来越暖和了。
如果主句表示的是短暂动作,而从句用延续性动词的进行时态表示在一段时间内正在进行的动作,此时when, while 与as可互换使用。如:
When/While/As I was walking down the street, I came across an old friend of mine.
当我沿大街行走时,碰巧遇到了我的一个老朋友。
用when, while 与as填空:
1.We were swimming in the lake____suddenly the storm started
A.when B.while C.until D.before
2. ____ I was walking down the street, I noticed a police car in front of the store.
3. ____ John arrived, I was cooking lunch.
4. ____ he grew older, he lost interest in everything except gardening.
5. I was wandering through the street ____ I caught sight of a tailor’s shop.
as soon as, once, the moment,the minute, immediately, instantly, no sooner…than, hardly/scarcely…when 这些从属连词引导的从句都表示从句的动作一发生,主句的动作随即就发生,常译为“一…就…”。从句中用一般时态代替将来时态。
The moment I heard the voice, I knew father was coming.
我一听到那个声音,我就知道父亲来了。
The baby burst into tears immediately he saw his mother.
那男孩一见到他妈妈便放声大哭。
till, until 和not…until
肯定句:主句的谓语动词必须是延续性动词,主句、从句都为肯定句,意为“某动作一直持续到某时间点才停止”。如:
He remained there until / till she arrived.
他在那一直等到她来。
You may stay here until / till the rain stops.
你可以在这呆到雨停。
否定句:主句的谓语动词必须是非延续性动词,从句为肯定式,意为“某动作直到某时间才开始”。如:
He won’t go to bed till / until she returns.
直到她回来他才睡。
till不可以置于句首,而until可以。如:
Until you told me I had no idea of it.
直到你告诉我,我才知道这件事情。
before和 since
若表达“还未…就….;不到… 就…;还没来得及”时,需用连词before.
如:We had sailed four days and four nights before we saw land.
我们航行了4天4夜才看到陆地。
Before I could get in a word, he had measured me.
我还没来得及插话,他就给我量好了尺寸。
It will be +一段时间+before...还要多久才…如:
It will be half a year before I come back.
还得再过半年我才能回来。
It won’t be long before we meet again.
过不了多长时间我才能回来。
Since从句谓语动词一般是非延续性动词,since从句的时态若是一般过去时,相应的,主句的时态是现在完成时或现在完成进行时。

自从我来到这儿,我已经给家里写过四封信了。
