Unit 4 Growing up 词句精讲精练
词汇精讲
1. however
however是副词，意为“尽管如此，可是，仍然”，可以放在句首、句中或句尾，但要用逗号隔开。例如：
It’s raining hard. However, I think we should go to school on time. 雨下得很大，我仍然认为该准时上学。
She waited, however, for no answer. 然而她没有等来回答。
【拓展】however与but的辨析：
(1) 从语义上看，but所表示的是非常明显的对比，转折的意味比however强。
(2) 从语法上看，but是个并列连词，而however却是个副词。
(3) 从语序上看，but总是位于它所引出的分句之首，而however却可位于分句之首、之中或之尾，但在翻译成汉语时，一定要把它放在分句之首。
(4) 从标点上看，but之后一般不得使用逗号，但however位于分句之首时，通常用逗号；位于分句之中时，通常在其前、后各加一个逗号；位于分句之尾时，则必须在其前加逗号。例如：
We love peace, but we are not afraid of war. 我们热爱和平，但是我们并不害怕战争。
He hasn’t arrived. He may, however, come later. 他还没有到，不过，他可能过一会儿来。
You can phone the doctor. However, I doubt whether he will come out on a Saturday night.
你可以给医生打电话。不过，我怀疑他是否会在周六晚上出诊。
He said that it was so. He was mistaken, however. 他说事情是这样的，然而他错了。
2. while
(1) while 作连词，意为“当……时候”，引导时间状语从句，并且是主句和从句动作同时发生，从句中的动词必须是延续性动词或表状态，且常用进行时态。例如：

(2) while作连词，还可意为“而，然而”，强调动作的对比。例如：
I like tea while she likes coffee. 我爱喝茶，而她爱喝咖啡。
(3) while作名词，意为“一会儿，片刻”，常用于after a while中，表示“过了一会儿”。例如：

(1) while强调动作同时进行，从句常用进行时，其动词必须为延续性动词或表状态。例如：

(2) when既可指动作同时进行，也可指先后发生，从句中的动作既可是延续性动词，也可是非延续性动词。若是同时发生且为延续性动词，则可与while互换；若when作并列连词，表示“就在那时，这时候”则只能用when，并且when引导的从句只能放在后面。
试比较：
When the alien got out, the girl was shopping. = While the girl was shopping, the alien got out.
当外星人出来时，小女孩在购物。
We were watching TV when there was a knock at the door. 我们在看电视，这时有人敲门。

He waited until 12:00. 他一直等到12点钟。
He didn’t go to bed until his father came back. 直到他爸爸回来，他才上床睡觉。
(2) until既可用于肯定句，也可用于否定句，但二者所表达的时间界限不同。用于肯定句，表示动作一直持续到until后的时刻；用于否定句，构成….not…until的固定搭配，意为“直到……才……”表示动作从until后的时刻开始。例如：
I did my homework until my mother came back from work. 我一直做作业直到妈妈下班回家。
I didn’t do my homework until my mother came back from work.
直到妈妈下班回家，我才做作业。
(3) until引导的时间状语从句，表将来的动作时，只能用一般现在时代替，即“主将从现”。例如：
I will wait for him until he comes back. 我将一直等到他回来。
4. Before and after can also be used as prepositions of time.
be used as意思是“被作为……使用”，as是介词，意思是“作为”，它强调被当作工具或者手段来使用。
例如：
Our classroom is used as a reading-room. 我们的教室被用来当阅览室使用。
The computer can be used as a tool.计算机可以被当作工具用。
【拓展】
(1) be used for 意思是“被用来做某事”，for是介词，它的后面用名词或者动名词作宾语。例如：
Knives are used for cutting things. 刀是用来割东西的。
(2) be used by意思是“被……使用”，by后面跟人或者物，表示强调动作的使用者。例如：
This radio is often used by my mother. 这台收音机经常被我的妈妈使用。
(3) be used to do something意思是“被用来做某事”，和be used for doing是同义词短语。例如：
It is used for learning English.＝It is used to learn English. 它被用来学习英语的。
(4) be used to doing something的意思是“习惯于做某事”。 例如：
My father is used to living in the village. 我的爸爸习惯于住在乡村。
5. I go jogging every morning.
“go+动词-ing形式”表示“去做某事”，常用于从事某一项体育活动或休闲娱乐活动，动名词前

go bike riding 骑自行车远行 go sightseeing 去观光
go shopping去买东西 go skating去滑冰
go swimming去游泳 go boating去划船
go walking去散步 go climbing去登山
