专题：状语从句

状语从句在句中作状语，修饰主句中的动词、形容词或副词等。状语从句放在主句之前时，常用逗号分开；放在主句之后，一般不用逗号。状语从句根据其句中表达的不同功能，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、方式状语从句、让步状语从句和比较状语从句，共9种。

一、时间状语从句

引导时间状语从句的连接词有when，as, while, after, before, since, ever since, till, until, once, whenever, as soon as, no sooner…than, hardly…when, the moment/minute/second/instant, directly, immediately, instantly, every time, each time, next time, by the time等。

1. when, while, as引导的时间状语从句

1) when的用法

①when既可引导一个持续性动作，也可引导一个短暂性动作，可用于主句和从句动作同时发生或主句动作先于从句动作。

I was thin when I was a child. 当我是个孩子的时候我很瘦。

The film had been on when we arrived. 当我们到达时，电影已经开演了。

②when引导时间状语从句时，如果主从句主语相同，从句有be动词，则从句可省略主语和be动词。

When (you are) in trouble, you can visit this man. 当有麻烦时，可以找这个人。 When (he was) a young man, he was fond of hunting. 他年轻时，喜欢打猎。

③when在be about to do…when…, be doing…when…, be on one’s way…when…, be on the point of doing…when…,等结构中，当“这/那时”讲时，表示某件事正在发生或刚刚发生，另一动作同时发生。

I was about to go out when it began to rain. 我正要出去，这时天开始下雨了。 The telephone was ringing when I got home. 当我到家时，电话铃正在响。 2) while用法

①while引导的动作必须是持续的，强调某一时间段内，主从句动作同时发生，相当于during the time that…。

My mother was cooking while I was doing my homework. 当我在做作业时，妈妈在做饭。 Please don’t talk so loud while others are working. 别人在工作时，请别高声谈话。 ②while除了可以用作从属连词之外，还可用作并列连词，表示对比关系“而，然而”。 I like watching TV while he likes reading. 我喜欢看电视而他喜欢读书。 3) as的用法

①as引导时间状语从句时，强调并行发生，不指先后。

As I left the house, I forgot the key. 我离开家时，忘记了钥匙。

②as还可以说明两种正发展或变化的情况，有“随着”的意思，表时间的推移。 As I get older, I get more optimistic. 随着年龄的增长，我变得更乐观。 ③as常用作“一边„一边„”。

He hurried home, looking behind as he went. 他匆忙回家，边走边往后看。 John sings as he works. 约翰一边工作，一边唱歌。 ④强调两个动作紧接着发生。

As he was going out, it began to rain. 当他出去的时候，天开始下雨了。

1

⑤as有时引起一个名词，这时它相当于一个时间状语从句。 As a boy (when he was a boy), he was hopeless at maths. 当他是孩子时，已对数学失去希望。

2. before引导的时间状语从句

1)before引导的时间状语从句，不用否定式的谓语。 Before they got to the bus stop, the bus had gone.

在他们到达公共汽车站之前，公共汽车已经走了。

2)当before引导的从句位于主句之后时，译成“„之后，才„”，“在„之前”，“还没来得及就„”，“就，便（主句否定）”。如果主句中用一般将来时，before从句要用一般现在时代替一般将来时。

It will be long before we meet again. 我们要过好久才能见面。 Three weeks went by before she realised her mistakes. 三周过去了，她才意识到自己的错误。

The war lasted four years before the north won in the end. 在北方取得最后胜利之前，战争持续了四年。

He had hung up before I could answer the phone. 我还没有来得及接电话，他就挂断了。 We hadn’t waited long before the bus came. 我们等了不久公共汽车便来了。

3. until和till引导的时间状语从句

until和till都表示“直到”，常可换用，但till 不用于句首，也不可用于强调句。 1)“延续性动词(肯定式)+until”表示动作延续到„为止，译为“直到„为止”。 You may stay here until the rain stops. 你可在这里待到雨停。 He waited until (it was) ten o’clock. 他一直等到10点钟。 I waited for him until he came back. 我一直等到他回来。

2)“终止性动词/延续性动词的否定式+until”表示“直到„才„”。

He didn’t go to bed until he had finished his work. 他直到完成工作才睡觉。 They didn’t reach the village till it was dark. 他们直到天黑才到达那个村庄。

He didn’t come until he had gone over his lessons. 他一直到复习完了功课才回来。 3)用于强调句式“It is not until…that…”。

It was not until the professor came that we began the experiment.、 在教授到来之后，我们才开始实验。

4)not until放在句首时，主句要用倒装语序，如：

Not until he graduated did he succeed in obtaining the compound. 直到毕业他才成功获得这种化合物。

4. since引导的时间状语从句

since引导时间状语从句，意为“自从„以来”，主句要用完成时态，但时间的计算方式略有不同。

1)since后如果是终止性动词的过去式，则时间的起点应从该动作发生时算起。 Mr Li has been here since he came back. 自从李先生回来之后，他一直在这儿。

I have written home but once since I came here. 自从我到来这儿以来，只给家里写了一封信。

2) since后如果是延续性性动词的过去式，则时间的起点应从该动作结束时算起。 He hasn’t been back at school since he was ill. 自从他病愈后一直没到学校来。

2

I haven’t heard from him since he lived here.

自从他不住在这儿以来，我就没有收到过他的来信。

3)有时时间的起点要从该动作发生时或状态开始时算起，主要根据句子的意思来考虑。 I’ve known Mr Smith since I was a boy. 我小的时候就认识史密斯先生了。

4)在“It is +一段时间+since…”句型中，时间一律以since从句的动作完成时算起。 It’s two years since we arrived here. 我们到这儿两年了。 It was years since I had known her. 我认识她好几年了。

It is three years since she was not in our class. 她离开我们班有三年了。

5.表示“一„就„”的句型

1)as soon as, once, immediately, directly, instantly, the moment/the minute/the second/the instant等引起的从句都表示从句的动作一发生，主句的动作就随即发生，常译作“一„就„”，这类从句中，经常用一般时态代替将来时态。

As soon as he arrives, I’ll tell him. 他一到，我就告诉他。

Once you study hard, you’ll pass the exam. 你一旦努力学习，就会通过考试。 The moment he comes, I’ll let you know. 他一来，我就告诉你。

The instantt I saw him, I recognized him. 我一看到他，就认出了他。 We’ll leave the minute you are ready. 你一准备好，我们就出发。 I left immediately the clock struck 5. 我刚走，钟就敲了五下。 2)on /upon+doing /n.作时间状语，译为“一„就„”。

On arriving at the station, the thief was arrested. 一到车站，这个小偷就被逮捕了。 On his arrival at classroom, the teacher came. 他刚刚到教室，老师便进来了。 Upon his arrival in Paris, he was recognized as a noble and thrown into prison. 他一到巴黎，就被认为是一个贵族，并被投进监狱。

3)no sooner…than…, hardly…when…, scarcely …when/before…引导的时间状语从句表示“刚„就„”“一„就„”。在这些结构中，主句动作先发生，用过去完成时，从句用一般过去时，主句常用倒装语序，把助动词had放在主语前面。

I had no sooner reached the bus stop than the bus started. 我刚到车站车就开走了。 I had scarcely/hardly entered the room when the phone rang. 我一进屋，电话就响了。 注：当这些表示否定意义的词位于句首时，句子要倒装。

No sooner had he reached home than it began to rain. 他刚到家，天就开始下雨了。 Hardly/scarcely had I entered the room when the phone rang. 我一进屋，电话就响了。

6.时间状语从句的省略

当时间状语从句的主语与主句的主语相同，从句又有be动词出现时，从句可省略主语和be动词。

Once (it is) seen, it can never be forgotten. 一旦看见，永远也不会被忘记。 Don’t speak until (you are) spoken to. 有人对你说话时你才说。

二、地点状语从句

1.地点状语从句由where, wherever引导。

We must camp where we can get water. 我们必须在能找到水的地方露营。 I will follow you wherever you go. 无论你到何处我都要跟着你。 Where there is a will, there is a way. 有志之事竟成。

You are free to go wherever you like. 你可以随意到任何你喜欢去的地方。 Make a mark where you have any questions. 在有疑问的地方做个记号。

3

Where I live, there is plenty of rain. 我住的地方，雨水多。

2.地点状语从句与定语从句的区别

Where引导定语从句时，从句前应有一个表示地点的名词作先行词；而状语从句前，则无先行词。

Go back where you came from. (where引导的状语从句) 从何处来到何处去。

Go back to the village where you came from. (where引导的定语从句) 回到你来的那个村子里去。

3.地点状语从句的省略

Fill in the blanks with articles necessary. (necessary前省略 where it is) 在需要的地方填上冠词。

三、原因状语从句

引导原因状语从句的连词有because, since, as, for, now (that) (既然)，seeing that(鉴于)，considering that(考虑到„，由于)。

1. because引导的原因状语从句

because用来回答why提问，表示的原因语气最强，一般用在主句后面，也可以用在主句的前面；强调的是原因状语从句时，可用在强调句中。 ---Why was he late? 他为什么迟到了？ ---Because he was ill. 因为他病了。

I do it because I want to do it. 我做是因为我想做。

Because he was too careless, he failed. 因为他太粗心，所以失败了。

It was because he was ill that he didn’t go with us.因为他有病，不能和我们一起去。 注意：because和because of的区别

because 是连词，引导原因状语从句；because of 是介词短语，后接名词性短语。 The football match was put off because it rained. 因为下雨，足球赛延期了。 The football match was put off because of the rain. 因为下雨，足球赛延期了。

2.since, as, now that引导的原因状语从句

1)since引导的从句的语气次于because引导的从句，常表示稍加分析后推断出来的原因，或指的是人们已知道的事实，比as正式，一般译成“既然，鉴于”，常置于句首。 Since I must die , I must do it.

既然我一定要死，那我一定这样做。

Since no one is against it, let’s carry out the plan. 既然没有人反对，我们就执行这个计划吧。

2)as语气最弱，其原因只是对结果的附带说明，一般放在句首。

As he didn’t know much English, he got out his dictionary and looked up the word“cough”. 因为他对英语懂得不多，所以拿出字典查找“cough”这个词。 As he wasn’t ready in time, we went without him. 由于他没有及时做好准备，我们没等他就走了。

3)now that用来说明一种新情况，然后加以推论，位于句首时that可省略。 Now (that) everybody is here, let’s begin. 既然每个人都在，那我们开始吧。

3. for引导的原因状语从句

for也可以表示原因，属并列连词，不是说明主要原因，而是对某种情况加以推断，用于表示补充说明理由，不能位于句首。

4

He must be ill, for he is absent today. 他一定是病了，因为他今天没来。

The days are short, for it is now December. 白天短了，因为已经是十二月了。

4.原因状语从句的省略

原因状语从句有时可以省略，用分词形式表示，但主句和从句的主语应该一致。 As the little boy was blind, he couldn’t see anything. =Being blind, the little boy couldn’t see anything. 那个小男孩瞎了，什么东西也看不见。

四、目的状语从句

1.引导目的状语从句的词或词组有：so that（为了，以便）, so(以便), in order that（为

了）, in case（以防，假使）, for fear that（以防）, lest（以免）等，谓语常含may, might, can, could, will, would等情态动词。

We’ll sit nearer the front so we can hear better. 我们要坐得靠近一点，这样能听得更清楚些。

He worked day and night in order that he could succeed.→ He worked day and night in order to succeed. 他日夜工作想要获得成功。

4.lest引导的从句中须用“should+动词原形”，表虚拟语气。

五、结果状语从句

1.引导结果状语从句的词或词组有：so(因此), so that（因此）, so…that…（如此„以至

2.so that和such that的区别

so为副词，修饰动词、副词或形容词，不能修饰名词；such是形容词，修饰名词。 1)so + adj./adv. + that从句。

The box is so heavy that I can’t carry it.这个箱子太重，以至于我搬不动。

6

这两种结构相当于if引导的条件状语从句。

One more step further, and I will beat you flat. 再往前走一步，我将把你揍扁。 (=If you walk one more step further, I will beat you flat.) Hurry up, or you will be late. 快点，否则你会迟到的。 (=If you don’t hurry up, you will be late.)

Ten minutes earlier, or you will miss the train. 早动身十分钟，否则你会错过火车的。 (=If you don’t start ten minutes earlier, you will miss the train.)

3.if only也可以引导条件状语从句。

If only you had worked with greater care! 你要是更仔细一些该多好！

He has no money. If any, he will give us. 他没有钱，如果有，他会给我们的。 类似：if necessary(如果有必要); if any(如果有); if in need(如果需要)。

7.条件句中的虚拟与倒装

if引导的条件状语从句如果与事实不符，应用虚拟语气。

1)表示与现在事实相反的假设时，条件状语从句中的谓语动词用“过去式(be的过去式用were),\"而主句中的谓语动词用“would(shoud,could,might)+动词原形”。 If I were you , I should study English. 如果我是你的话，我就努力学习英语。

If he had time, he would attend the meeting. 如果他有时间的话，他会来参加会议的。 2)表示与过去的事实相反的假设时，条件状语从句的谓语动词用\"had+过去分词\"，主句中的谓语动词用\"would (should, could, might)+have+过去分词\"。

If you had taken my advice, you wouldn't have failed in the examination. 如果你采纳了我的建议，考试你就不会不及格的。

7

而把were, had或should移到主语前面，以倒装形式表示虚拟条件从句。 Were I you, I would do the same. 如果我是你，我也会这么做。

Had you come yesterday, you would have met him. 如果你昨天来了，你会见到他的。 Should you come tomorrow, you would see her. 如果你明天来的话，你就会见到他。

七、方式状语从句
