词汇精讲
1. however
however是副词,意为“尽管如此,可是,仍然”,可以放在句首、句中或句尾,但要用逗号隔开。例如:
It’s raining hard. However, I think we should go to school on time. 雨下得很大,我仍然认为该准时上学。
She waited, however, for no answer. 然而她没有等来回答。
【拓展】however与but的辨析:
(1) 从语义上看,but所表示的是非常明显的对比,转折的意味比however强。
(2) 从语法上看,but是个并列连词,而however却是个副词。
(3) 从语序上看,but总是位于它所引出的分句之首,而however却可位于分句之首、之中或之尾,但在翻译成汉语时,一定要把它放在分句之首。
(4) 从标点上看,but之后一般不得使用逗号,但however位于分句之首时,通常用逗号;位于分句之中时,通常在其前、后各加一个逗号;位于分句之尾时,则必须在其前加逗号。例如:
We love peace, but we are not afraid of war. 我们热爱和平,但是我们并不害怕战争。
He hasn’t arrived. He may, however, come later. 他还没有到,不过,他可能过一会儿来。
You can phone the doctor. However, I doubt whether he will come out on a Saturday night.
你可以给医生打电话。不过,我怀疑他是否会在周六晚上出诊。
He said that it was so. He was mistaken, however. 他说事情是这样的,然而他错了。
2. while
(1) while 作连词,意为“当……时候”,引导时间状语从句,并且是主句和从句动作同时发生,从句中的动词必须是延续性动词或表状态,且常用进行时态。例如:
He came in while I was watching TV. 当我在看电视时,他进来了。
(2) while作连词,还可意为“而,然而”,强调动作的对比。例如:
I like tea while she likes coffee. 我爱喝茶,而她爱喝咖啡。
(3) while作名词,意为“一会儿,片刻”,常用于after a while中,表示“过了一会儿”。例如:
After a while, she came to herself. 过了一会儿,她苏醒过来了。
【拓展】while; when与as的辨析:
(1) while强调动作同时进行,从句常用进行时,其动词必须为延续性动词或表状态。例如:
Could you look after my dog while I’m away? 我离开时,你能照看我的狗吗?
(2) when既可指动作同时进行,也可指先后发生,从句中的动作既可是延续性动词,也可是非延续性动词。若是同时发生且为延续性动词,则可与while互换;若when作并列连词,表示“就在那时,这时候”则只能用when,并且when引导的从句只能放在后面。
试比较:
When the alien got out, the girl was shopping. = While the girl was shopping, the alien got out.
当外星人出来时,小女孩在购物。
We were watching TV when there was a knock at the door. 我们在看电视,这时有人敲门。
