4. 條件狀語從句引導(dǎo)條件狀語從句的連詞有:if,unless,as / so long as,suppose (that),supposing (that),in case,when等。條件狀語從句可以分為真實條件狀語從句和非真實條件狀語從句。
⑴真實條件句真實條件句表示現(xiàn)實或可能的情況,由if引導(dǎo),它的主句可以是陳述句,疑問句或祈使句,可置于主句之前或之后。
If you heat ice,it melts. If it rained,I went by bus. unless引導(dǎo)的否定條件狀語從句,在意義上相當(dāng)于if…not,如:
Don‘t come unless I telephone. as / so long as,provided / providing (that)意為“只要、如果”,如:
You can borrow this pen as long as you can keep it well. in case在英國英語中表示目的,在美國英語中可表示條件,意為“如果、萬一”,如:
In case the house burns down,we‘ll get the insurance money.
⑵非真實條件句請參閱第十一章“虛擬語氣”。
5.讓步狀語從句引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句的連詞有:although,though,even if,even though,if,for all that,when,while,whether…or,whatever,no matter what等。
although和though意義一樣,都作“雖然、即使”解,都表示讓步,一般情況下可互換使用,只是although語氣較重,大多置于句首。如:
They are generous though they are poor. Although he was Japanese,he spent most of his life in China. even if和even though都作“即使”解,兩者可以互換使用,如:
She insisted on her own opinion even though / even if he was wrong. if作“即使、雖然”解,也表示讓步,如:
If he is wrong,he is honest. whether…or作“不論……是否”或“不論……還是”解,如:
You don‘t have to worry me whether I am well or ill.為了強調(diào)讓步意義,在正式文體或文學(xué)作品中,常用as引導(dǎo)讓步從句,從句的補語或狀語置于句首。如:
Tall as he was,he couldn‘t reach the top of the shelf. Strong as you may be,you cannot lift it.詞尾為-ever的wh-詞可以與“no matter + wh-詞”互換使用,作“無論……”解,后者常用于口語中,如:
Whoever / No matter who rings,tell him I‘m out. Wherever / No matter where he is,he will be thinking of you.由whenever,wherever,however引導(dǎo)的從句,也可以分別看作時間狀語從句、地點狀語從句和方式狀語從句。把它們當(dāng)作讓步狀語從句是因為它們常有no matter when (where,how)的含義。
6.原因狀語從句原因狀語從句通常由because,since,as,when now (that),seeing (that),considering (that)等引導(dǎo)。
because,since和as三者的區(qū)別如下:
because的語勢,其次是since,再次是as. because可以回答why引導(dǎo)的特殊問句,而since和as不能。
because引導(dǎo)的從句可以被just,only,simply等副詞修飾,也可以用并列連詞構(gòu)成并列的because從句,而since和as則不能。如:
We pardoned him only because he was still young. for表示原因時,作“因為”解,多用于正式文體,有時可以與because換用,但for從句只能置于主句之后。如:
She didn‘t go to school,for / because she was ill. now (that)和seeing (that)都作“既然”解,通??膳csince或as換用,如:
Now (that) you have come,you may as well stay. Seeing (that) he is inexperienced,he is not fit for the work. 7. 結(jié)果狀語從句引導(dǎo)結(jié)果狀語從句的連詞有:so that,so…that,such that,such…that,that等。
當(dāng)從句前面有逗號時,so that中that可省略,如:
It was dark,so (that) we could see nothing in front of us.“So + 形容詞 / 副詞 + that”是引導(dǎo)結(jié)果狀語從句的常用結(jié)構(gòu),如:
He talked so loud that he annoyed the speaker. He was so brilliant that he made a lot of inventions.“such (a) + 形容詞 + 名詞 + that”與“so…that”的意義相同,如:
It was such a hot day that people could not go out. He painted such beautiful pictures that the visitors were lost in admiration. that可以單獨引導(dǎo)結(jié)果狀語從句,如:
The question is of great importance that it cannot be neglected. 8. 目的狀語從句引導(dǎo)目的狀語從句的連詞有:in order that,so that,so,that,in case,for fear that,lest等。
in order that與so that的意義和用法基本相同,in order that多用于正式文體,常表示經(jīng)過認(rèn)真考慮的目的,如:
In order that he would have more space for painting,he bought a big house. You ought to write to him,in order that he won‘t feel we are hiding things from him. So和that可視為so that的省略形式,但不如so that常用,如:
Bring it closer so / that I may see it better. for fear that,in case和lest都表示否定的目的,相當(dāng)于so that…not或in order that…not,作“以免、以防”解。
He wrote the name down for fear that he should forget it . lest限于正式文體,它所引導(dǎo)的從句中的謂語動詞多用should be型或be型虛擬形式,如:
He hid the box lest it (should) be stolen. in case引導(dǎo)的從句謂語既可以用虛擬形式,又可用陳述語氣,如:
Better take more clothes in case it is cold. She doesn‘t dare to go out in case she is recognized / (should) be recognized.
⑴真實條件句真實條件句表示現(xiàn)實或可能的情況,由if引導(dǎo),它的主句可以是陳述句,疑問句或祈使句,可置于主句之前或之后。
