while 的用法知多少?

  今天有同学问我 while 怎么一会儿可以解释为“虽然”,一会可以解释为“当...的时候”,感觉到用不好它。

  确实,while 是一个用法特别灵活的词,有很多词性,特别是做连词的时候,用法多样。我索性整理了一下 while 的全部用法,跟大家分享,希望大家不仅看得懂,自己同时会用出来。

  一、while做名词,表示“一会儿”。

  1)After lunch, she likes to take a nap for a while.

  她喜欢午饭后眯一会儿。

  2)It takes a while to adapt to a new environment.

  适应新环境需要花一段时间。

  二、while 做连词。

  1. 引导时间状语,解释为“当...的时候”。

  1)We must strike while the iron is hot.

  趁热打铁。(我们必须当铁热的时候去击打它。)

  2)While he is speaking, he does a lot of gestures.

  他演讲的时候有很多手势。

  2. 引导让步状语从句,意思是“虽然…但是…”。

  .种情况,while 多放于句首

  1)While there was no conclusive evidence, most people thought he was guilty.

  虽然没有确凿的证据,大多数人还是认为他有罪。

  2)While my heart is willing, my flesh is weak.

  心有余而力不足。(虽然我的心是愿意的,但是我的肉体是虚弱的)。

  3. 引导条件状语,意思是“只要”.

  1)While there is life there is hope.

  留得青山在,不怕没柴烧。(只要有命在,就有希望。)

  2)While there is a will, there is a way.

  有志者事竟成。(只要有意志力,就有道路。)

  4. While 作并列连词用,意为“然而”,表对比关系。而but表转折。

  .注意体会下列例句中 while 与 but 的区别:

  1)Some people waste food while others haven't enough.

  有些人很费粮食,然而有些人却吃不饱。

  2)The son was having a good meal at home, while the parents were working in the fields.

  儿子在家吃好饭而父母却在田里辛勤劳作。

  3)I ought to have helped her, but I never could.

  我本该帮她但没能。

  4)Honey is sweet, but the bee stings.

  蜂蜜很甜,但蜜蜂有刺蜇人。

情态动词——need的用法

  need”作为实义动词时,通常用法是

  人+need +to do 物+need +doing 物+need +to be done 例如: The room needs cleaning = The room needs to be cleaned. 房间需要打扫了. 另外,“need”作实义动词时后还可以直接跟名词.请看下面的例子: It is a question that needs very careful consideration.这是一个需要慎重考虑的问题 很简单的方法区别情态动词与实义动词:当need为情态动词时,意思是“必要”,否定为"needn't",后面大多接动名词,表示动作; 当need为实义动词时,意思是“需要”,否定为"don't need",后面大多跟名词.

  作情态动词

  1.need作情态动词无人称或数的变化, 后接动词原形,多用于否定句和疑问句中.如:You needn't worry.你不必担心.

  2.由need引出的一般疑问句,肯定回答常用must或have to;否定答语常用needn't. 如:

  —Need I answer the question? 我需要回答那个问题吗?

  —Yes, you must. /Yes, you have to.是的,你必须回答./是的,你得回答./No, you needn't.不,不必了.

  3.由must引出的一般疑问句,肯定回答用must,否定答语用needn't或don't have to.如:

  —Must I do the work now? 我必须现在干这个活吗?

  —Yes, you must /have to.是的,你必须做./No, you needn't /don't have to. 不,你现在不必做.

Not only,but also 用法小结

  not only和but also是并列连词,其要接并列结构或者说平行结构。not only后面的结构与but also后面的结构要对称,比如,两者后面接的都是名词、形容词、动词、介词、短语或者都是句子。

  ① 连接名词、形容词、介词

  1 She is not only a singer but also an actress.

  她不仅是个歌手,而且是个演员。

  2 Before he was six, he played not only the piano but also the violin.

  六岁之前,他不仅会弹钢琴,还精通小提琴。(外研社初中英语)

  3 You are not only brave, but also very beautiful.
