第七whenwhileas区别及练习

When while as 区别一、根据从句动作的持续性来区分1、“主短从长”型：即主句是一个短暂性动作，而从句是一个持续性动作，此时三者都可用。

如：Jim hurt his arm while ［ when， as］ he was playing tennis. 吉姆打网球时把手臂扭伤了。

2、“主长从长”型：即主句和从句为两个同时进行的动作或存在的状态，状态延续到从句所指的整个时间，此时通常要用while 。

且强调主句动作或I always listen to the radio while I ’ m driving. 我总是一边开车一边听收音机。

He didn ’ t ask me in; he kept me standing at the door while he read the message. 他没有让我进去，他只顾看那张条子，让我站在门口等着。

但是，若主句和从句所表示的两个同时进行的动作含有“一边,, 一边”之意时，则习惯上要用 as。

如：He swung his arms as he walked. 他走路时摆动着手臂。

3、“主长从短”型：即主句是一个持续性动作，而从句是一个短暂性动作，此时可以用as 或when，但不能用 while 。

如：It was raining hard when [as] we arrived.我们到达时正下着大雨。

二、根据主句与从句动作是否同时发生来区分1、若主句与从句表示的是两个同时发生的短暂性动作，含有类似汉语“一英语一般要用 as (也可用 when)。

如：,, 就的”意思，The ice cracked as [when] I stepped onto it. 我一踩冰就裂了。

2、若主句与从句表示的是两个几乎同时发生的短暂性动作，含有类似汉语“刚要“正要 ,, 却”的意思，英语一般要用 as(也可用 when)，且此时通常连用副词,, just。

如：就”I caught him just when [as] he was leaving the building. 他正要离开大楼的时候，我把他截住了。

三、根据是否具有伴随变化来区分若要表示主句动作伴随从句动作同时发展变化，有类似汉语“随着”的意思，英语习惯上要用as，而不用 when 或 while 。

如：The room grew colder as the fire burnt down.随着炉火逐渐减弱，房间越来越冷。

注：若不是引导从句，而是引出一个短语，则用with ，不用 as。

如：With winter coming on, it ’ s time to buy warm clothes. 随着冬天到来，该买暖和衣裳了。

四、根据从句动作的规律性来区分若暗示一种规律性，表示“每当,, 的时候”，英语一般要用when 。

如：It ’s cold when it snows. 下雪时天冷。

五、根据主从句动作的先后顺序来区分若主句与从句所表示的动作不是同时发生，而是有先后顺序时，一般要用when 。

如： When he arrives he’ll tell us all about the match. 等他到了，他会好好给我们讲讲那场比赛的情况。

六、根据是否具有“趁机”意味来区分1、若从句所表示的“当, , 的时候”具有“趁机”的意味，则通常用while 。

如：Strike while the iron is hot. 趁热打铁。

七、根据是否用作并列连词来区分when 可用作并列连词，表示“这时 (突然 )”； while 也可以用作并列连词，表示“而”“却” (表示对比 )；但 as 则没有类似用法。

如：I was just about to go to bed when I heard a knock on the door. 我正要睡觉，听见有人敲门。

One person may like to spend his vacation at the seashore, while another may prefer the mountain s.八、根据所引出的省略句来区分1 、如：as 和when 之后均可直接跟一个名词，构成省略句；但是As [When] a boy, he lived in Japan. 他小时候在日本。

while 一般不这样用。

2、when 和 while 之后可接现在分词、介词短语、形容词等构成省略句，但as一般不这样用。

如：When [While] reading, he fell asleep.他看书时睡着了。
