状语从句
状语从句即指在主从复合句用作状语的从句。按照其意义,状语从句可分为时间状语从句、地点状语从句、原因状语从句、目的状语从句、结果状语从句、条件状语从句、让步状语从句等。
时间状语从句
■引导时间状语从句的从属连词
引导时间状语从句的从属连词很多,如较基本的有before, after, when, while, as, since, till, until, as soon as 等:
Things were different when I was a child. 我小时候情况与现在不同。
We must strike while the iron is hot. 我们要趁热打铁。
It’s a long time since I met you last. 从上次见到你,已有很长时间了。
He waited until she was about to leave. 他等着一直到她准备离开。
除以上基本的引导时间状语从句的从属连词外,还有些本来不是从属连词却可用作从属连词的词:
(1)表示“一…就”的从属连词:the moment, the minute, the second, the instant, immediately, directly, instantly, once, no sooner…than, hardly…when等。如:
Immediately he came I told him the news. 他一来我就把消息告诉了他。
The moment I saw him I knew there was no hope. 我一看到他就知道没希望了。
We had no sooner set out than it began to rain. 我们刚出发就下雨了。
Once he arrives, we can start. 他一来我们就可以开始。
(2)涉及time的几个从属连词:every time(每次),each time(每次),(the) next time(下次),any time(随时),the last time(上次),the first time(第一次)。如:
Every time I see her I’ll think of it. 每次我看到她,我就想起这事。
He felt nervous each time she spoke to him. 每次她和他讲话,他都感到紧张。
He didn’t tell me the last time I saw him. 我上次见到他时他
没告诉我。
■与时间状语从句有关的时态问题
关于这个问题有两点值得注意:
(1)当主句为将来时态或具有将来意义时,时间状语从句通常要用一般现在时表示将来意义,而不能直接使用将来时态:Turn off the lights before you leave. 走前关灯。
I will tell him as soon as he arrives. 他一来我就告诉他。
(2)与since 从句搭配的主句的时态通常是现在完成时态:
He has lived here since 1999. 自1999年以来,他就一直住在这儿。
Where have you been since I last saw you? 自我上次见到你
之后你到哪里去了?
【注】在特定的语言环境中有时也可能用过去完成时或一般现在时:
It seems like years since we last met. 我们似乎几年未见面了。
Yesterday he told me that he hadn’t eaten anything since Tuesday. 他昨天告诉我自星期二以来他一直未吃任何东西。
条件状语从句
■引导条件状语从句的从属连词
主要的有if, unless, as [so] long as等:
You can leave now if you like. 如果你愿意现在就可以走了。
As long as it doesn’t rain we can go. 只要不下雨,我们就可以去。
【注】除以上基本的引导条件状语从句的从属连词外,还有的动词尤其是其分词形式(如suppose, supposing, provided, providing等)和介词短语(如in case, on condition that等)也可用作连词表示条件:
In case I forget, please remind me about it. 万一我忘记,请提醒我一下。
I will come on condition (that) she is invited too. 如果邀请她来, 那我就来。
He may go with us provided [providing] he arrives in time. 他若及时到,就可以和我们一起走。
Suppose 和supposing 引导条件状语从句时,通常用于主句为疑问句的场合:
Suppose the boss saw you,what would he say? 如果老板看到你,他会怎样说?
Supposing he does not come, shall we go without him? 他若不来,是不是不带他去?
■条件状语从句的时态
当主句为将来时态或具有将来意时,条件状语从句通常要用一般现在时表示将来意义,而不能直接使用将来时态:I’ll stay at home if it rains tomorrow. 要是明天下雨,我就呆在家里。
