3．As引导一个持续动作，多用于主句和从句的动作同时发生。如： A man ate each night in the same restaurant and at the same table. One night, as he was leaving, he walked up a wall, across the ceiling, down another wall, and out the door. “That’s odd,” his waiter said. “Usually he says good night.” 一个人每天都在同一家饭馆同一张桌子上吃饭，一天晚上，当他离开时，他走上墙，穿过天花板，从另一面墙走下来，从门出去。 服务员说“真奇怪，他通常说晚安”。 注：服务员对那个男人的天马行空习以为常，但对于他不打招呼就走感觉奇怪。 As I look back, there is only one thing I wish I could have saved for my old age --- the years between twenty and thirty. 我回头看看只有一件东西是我希望为自己的老年保存起来的——20岁到30岁的岁月。 4．When还可以用作并列连词，其意义为“在那时，在这时”，相当于and at this/that time。 Heisenberg is out for a drive when he\'s stopped by a traffic cop. The cop says, "Do you know how fast you were going?" Heisenberg says, "No, but I know where I am." HEISENBERG驾车外出被交警拦住。警察问，“你知道你开得多快吗”？ HEISENBURG说，“不知道，但我知道我在哪儿”。 Frannie was kneeling down saying his prayers when her four-year-old brother sneaked（鬼鬼祟祟做事） up behind her and pulled her hair. “Pardon me, God,” said Frannie, “I’ll be right back after I kick Herbie.” Frannie正跪着祈祷，她四岁的弟弟从后面偷偷摸摸靠近她，揪他的头发。她说，“原谅我，我踢了Herbie后马上回来”。 5．While作为并列连词，意为“而，却”，表示对比。如： While the chef’s dishes tonight are rather bland(乏味的), his ideas are fresh and appealing. 今晚厨师的菜相当寡味，但他的思想却清新诱人。 注：我们去吃饭，谁会关心厨师的思想呢？ Sir, I dont know how to tell this, but your imagination has just taken flight ____ while your facts are still on standby.（备用） 先生，我不知道怎样告诉这点，但你的想象力已经逃跑，你的事实还在袖手旁观。 注：讽刺某人胡编乱造，说话没有根据。 A lie is half way around the world while the truth is just putting his boots on. 真理刚穿上靴子，谎言已经在半路了。 注：人们更爱传播八卦新闻。 (责任编辑：admin) |
