方式状语从句

方式状语从句

方式状语从句用来表示主句谓语动作发生的方式。

一、方式状语从句引导

1.as 其意为“像…一样”

(1)You must do as your parents tell you.

你必须按你父母说的去做。

/你必须照你父母告诉你的去做。

(2)I have changed it as you suggest.

我已照你的建议作了改动。

factory.

他以出租车司机的身份支撑家庭。

（7）In the early days, people could not count as

we do now.

在早期日子里，人们不能和我们现在一样去计数。

2. (just) as…so… 其意为“正如…”“就像…”

as, (just) as…so…引导的方式状语从句通常位于主句后，

但在(just) as…so…结构中位于句首，这时as从句带有比喻的

含义，意思是\"正如…\"，\"就像\"，多用于正式文体。

（1）We can't live without air, just as fish can't

live without water.

我们不能没有空气，就像鱼不能没有水一样。

（2） Most plants need sunlight just as they need

water.

backward ideas from our minds.

/就像打扫房间一样，我们也应该扫除头脑中落后的思想。

/Just like cleaning a room, we should also clear backward ideas of our minds .

（4）Just as we water flowers, so we should often swim

in the sea of knowledge.

正如浇花一样，我们也要在知识的海洋里畅游。

3. as if 和 as though 其意为“好像…”“似乎”

“仿佛”

一般说来，若as if 和as though 从句所表示的内容可能为事实，则用陈述语气；若为假设或不大可能为事实，则用虚拟语气。不过在非正式文体中，有时即使句意明确地表示不是事实，也可能用陈述语气：

（1）He treats me as if I am [were] a stranger.

他待我有如陌生人。

（2）The toy dog barks as if it is [were] a real

one. 这个玩具狗叫起来像是真狗似的。

/玩具狗吠叫着，好像它是真的。

(3)They treated the child as if she were their own.

他们待这孩子像亲生的一样。

/他们对待这孩子好像她是他们自己的

（4）I remember the whole thing as if it happened

yesterday.

整个这件事我记得很清楚，就仿佛是昨天发生似的。

/我记得整件事，好像发生在昨天。

（5）Right now, start acting as if the above

statement is true at all times.

如果上面的那句话在任何时候都是真的，现在，就开始行动。

（6）She works hard as if she never knew fatigue.

她工作努力，仿佛从不知疲倦似的。

（7）When the spaceship leaves the earth at tremendous

speed，the astronauts feel as if they are being crushed

against the spaceship floor.

当宇宙飞船以巨大的速度离开地球时，宇航员们觉得自己

好像正在被压向宇宙飞船的底壁上去。

若从句的内容是不真实的，是与事实相反的或者说话者认为其

是不真实的，从句的谓语时态要用虚拟语气。主句谓语用一般

现在时态，对从句的谓语形式没有影响。

(1) He looks as if (as though) he had been hit by

lightning.

他看起来好像被闪电击中了.（与事实相反，谓语用虚拟语气）

(2)They completely ignore these facts as if (as though) they never existed.

他们完全忽略了这些事实，就仿佛它不存在似的。

（与事实相反，谓语用虚拟语气。）

(3)It looks as if the weather may pick up very soon.

看来天气很快就会好起来。

（实现的可能性较大，谓语用陈述语气。）

说明：as if / as though也可以引导一个分词短语、不定式短语、形容词或介词短语，例如：

(1)He stared at me as if seeing me for first time.

他目不转睛地看着我，就像第一次看见我似的。

(2)He cleared his throat as if to say something.

他清了清嗓子，像要说什么似的。

(3)The waves dashed on the rocks as if in anger.

波涛冲击着岩石，好像很愤怒。

(4)He stand beside the door as if to elude something.

他站在门边就像是在躲避什么东西一样。

though) they never existed.

他们完全忽略了这些事实，就仿佛它不存在似的。

(与事实相反，谓语用虚拟语气。)

他看上去好像生气了。

（7）It looked as if there would be an exciting race.

看来要有一场激动人心的比赛。

（8）He spoke as if he had been there before.

他说话好像他以前在那里过。

四、（in） the way （that）其意为

有时the way 也可用作连词，表示方式，与as的用法相似：

(1)They didn’t do it the way we do now.

那时他们不像我们现在这样行事。

(2)I can’t help seeing things the way they do.

我禁不住也像他们那样看事物。

（3)Please pronounce the word the way I do.

请照我这样,读这个单词.

（4）Please do that in the way I do.

五、口语常用的like

在非正式文体中，like也可用连词，表示方式，与as的用法相似：

(1)Nobody loves you like I do.

没有人像我这样爱你。

(2)She can’t cook like her mother does.

她菜做得没有她妈那样好。

（3）She smiled happily like she was proposed by

someone.

她幸福的笑着，就像被谁求婚了一样。

（4）He sit there smiling like it was his birthday.

虚拟as if引导的be动词则只能是were）
