方式状语从句




一)时间状语从句
据主句和从句的时间关系,时间状语从句可分为主句和从句同时发生,主句发生在从句之前,主句发生在从句之后和主句在从句之后立刻发生四种情形。
1.
主句和从句同时发生,由when, whenever(每当), while , as(常用语口语,强调同一时间)等引导,意为……时候
1when表一个特定时间(at that time),从句可置于主句之前或之后。
例如:
When he was still a young man, he was forced to leave his homeland for political reasons.
You are using energy even when you are asleep.
(1) when引导的从句可用一般现在时表将来。例如:
See you when I get back.
(2) 在从句中如用现在完成时则表示将来的过去,即主句从句均为将来,但从句发生在将来之前。
例如:When you have finished, please fold the map and out it away.
(3) 如从句用过去完成时,则主句用一般过去时。
例如:When she had finished listening to the news, she turned off the radio.
(4) 考研真题分析:

Doing your homework is a sure way to improve your test scores, and this is especially true when it comes to classroom tests. (1998)

2while表一段时间(during that time),从句可置于主句之前或之后。
(1) while所引导的从句常用延续性动词的进行时态。
例如:
I hurt it while I was doing gym.
(2) while所引导的从句常与系动词be连用表状态。
例如:
Your friends are coming to stay in your house for one week while you and your family are away on holiday.
(3) 考研真题分析:
The phenomenon provides a way for companies to remain globally competitive whileavoiding market cycles and the growing burdens imposed by employment rules, healthcare costs and pension plans. 1997
A. but
B. while
C. and
D. whereas

2.
主句发生在从句之前,常用before, until, till引导,意为……之前 从句可置于主句之前或之后。
1
before
的翻译——不要千篇一律翻译为……之前
例如:
It took a few months of investigation before it became clear.


The Greeks assumed that the structure of language had some connection with the process of thought, which took root in Europe long before realized how diverse languages could be.
2
until
till意为直到……时候;从句通常置于主句之后。until前的主句谓语必须是延续性的;其后的从句谓语必须是短暂动词或接时间点。若主句谓语动词是短暂动词,则要用否定形式。故有not…until…直到…………”的结构。
例如:
Until recentlymost historians spoke very critically of the Industrial Revolution. (1998)

It was not
untilthe 19th century that the newspaper became the dominant pre-electric medium. (2002)

3.
主句发生在从句之后,由aftersince引导,意为……之后

二)地点状语从句

地点状语从句一般由wherewhereveranywhereeverywhere等引导,从句可置于主句之前或之后,意为……地方,无论在……地方
例如:

Everywhere they appeared, there were troubles.

三)原因状语从句
原因状语从句由because, as, since, for等引导,从句可置于主句之前或之后,意为因为,由于
1.
because
语气最强,只有它能用来回答why的问句,引出的往往是听话人不知道的或最感兴趣的原因。
例如:
They make fun of me because I am shorter than anyone else.
2.
since
通常置于句首,引出人们已知的不需要强调的原因,译为既然
例如:
Since we do not have class tomorrow, why not go out for a picnic?
3.
as
since用法差不多。
例如:
Wear strong shoes as we shall do a lot of walking.
4.
for
表推断的理由,是对前面分句的内容加以解释说明。
例如:
It rained last night, for the ground is wet this morning.
5.
其他复合连词表示原因:in that, seeing that, now that, considering that, given that意为鉴于……,考虑到……”
例如:

They did the job very well, considering that they had no experience.

四)目的状语从句
目的状语从句主要由so that, in order that, that引导,意为为了,以便。从句通常置于主句之后。由于目的状语从句所表达的是一种尚未实现的愿望,因此,从句中要求有一个情态动词can/could, may/might, shall/should, will/would等。
例如:
Former Colorado governor Richard Lamm has been quoted as saying that the old and infirm “have a duty to die and get out of the way so thatyounger, healthier people can realize their potential. (2003)
其它引导词:lest, for fear(that), in case, 译为以免,以防止,生怕in the hope that, on purpose that, for the purpose that, to the end that等来表目的,从句谓语动词一般用should加动词原形。
例如:
They (scientists) should be quick to respond to letters to the editor, lest animal rights misinformation go unchallenged and acquire a deceptive appearance of truth. (2003)
五)结果状语从句
结果状语从句常由so that so后面接形容词、分词或副词), suchthatsuch后接名词), with the result that引导,从句只可置于主句之后。
例如:

A. became the children
B. become the children

C. had the children become
D. do the children become

其它引导词:to the degree (that), to the extent (that), to such a degree (that), to such an extent (that)等。当它们位于句首表强调时,主句需倒装。
