状语
状语是用来修饰动词、形容词、副词或整个句子的一种成分。其用法最广,名称最多,是英语中最大的一种句子成分:它可以表示时间、地点、方式、程度、原因、目的、结果、条件、让步或比较等。状语名称除了上述10种外,还有伴随状语、方面状语、对象状语、评注性状语等。对状语种类进行详细划分的目的是更好地理解句子意思。状语通常由副词、介词短语、不定式、现在分词、过去分词、形容词、名词、从句等充当。
Jennifer runs very fast.珍尼弗跑得很快。(副词作状语)
I’ll be back in a while.我一会儿就回来。(介词短语作状语)
He waited to see the result of the game. 他等着看比赛结果。(不定式短语作状语)
Living in the country, they have few amusements.因为住在农村,他们没有什么娱乐活动。(现在分词短语作状语)
Given more time and money, we would have done the work better.如果给予更多的时间和钱,我们会把工作做得更好。(过去分词短语作状语)
She sat there, silent.她坐在那儿,一声不吭。(形容词作状语)
Wait a moment. I’ll come.等一会儿,我就来。(名词作状语)
It rained so hard that they had to put off the sports meeting.雨下得很大,他们不得不推迟运动会。(从句作状语)
He was absent from the lecture yesterday because he was ill.昨天他缺席了讲座,是因为病了。(从句作状语)
特别提示
①时间状语和地点状语修饰同一动词时,通常先说地点,再说时间。如:
They held a meeting in the great hall yesterday afternoon.昨天下午他们在大厅里举行了一次会议。
②如果修饰同一个动词的时间状语或地点状语不止一个,则一般按照“由小到大”的顺序排列。
He arrived here at about ten o'clock yesterday morning.他是昨天上午大约10点到达这儿的。
She lived in a small village in the north.她住在北方的一个小村庄里。
状语从句
在复合句中,作状语成分的从句叫做状语从句。它的主要语法作用是修饰主句谓语动词。般分为时间状语从句、地点状语从句、原因状语从句、目的状语从句、结果状语从句、条件状语从句、让步状语从句、方式状语从句、比较状语从句9种。状语从句由从属连词引导,有时候还可以用其他词组引导。
本单元语法主要复习各种状语从句的用法及特点,以下是九种状语从概览:
1. I found a wallet when I was walking in the street.我在大街上走的时候发现了一个钱包。(时间状语从句)

一、时间状语从句
在复合句中作时间状语的从句,称为时间状语从句。位置相对灵活,可放在句首或句末。引导时间状语从句的连词常见的有when, while, as, before, after, since, till, until, as soon as, once, whenever等。词组the moment, the instant, the minute, the day, the week, the year, the first time, the last time, next time, any time, every time, each time, by the time, from the time等以及副词immediately, directly, instantly等也可以用作连词,引导时间状语从句。
1.when引导的时间状语从句

特别提示
1. when引导时间状语从句用法最多,它可以表示:①从句动作和主句动作同时持续发生;②主句动作在从句动作的过程中发生;③从句动作在主句动作的过程中发生;④从句动作先于主句动作;⑤从句动作后于主句动作。例如:
①When I lived there, I used to play near the seashore on Sundays.我住在那里的时候,星期天我常在海岸附近玩。(主句和从句同时、持续发生)
②When she was reading, she heard a knock on the door.她正在看书时,听到了敲门声。(主句动作在从句动作的过程中发生)

2.注意以下三个结构中when的用法和翻译:

③She had hardly/scarcely/just returned home when the phone rang.她刚刚回到家,电话铃就响了。(一个动作刚刚发生,另一动作突然发生。)
2. while弓|导的时间状语从句
while引导时间状语从句时,意为“与……同时,在……期间”,从句中的谓语动词必须是延续性动词或表示状态的动词,不能是非延续性动词。但主句动作可以延续,也可以不延续。
The telephone rang while I was taking a bath.我在洗澡时电话响了。
She called to see me while I was out.我不在家时她打电话要来看我。
以上两句,表示主句动作在从句动作的过程中发生。此时,while和when用法相同,可以互换使用。此外,while也可表示两个延续性动作同时发生,含有对比意味。此时主从句的时态常常是相同的。如:
While Mary was writing a letter, the children were playing outside.玛丽写信时,孩子们在外面玩耍。
While I played the piano, my elder sister did her homework.我弹钢琴时,姐姐做家庭作业。
3. as弓|导的时间状语从句

特别提示
下面两句表达相同的意思:

(3)表示主句的动作伴随着从句的动作而渐次发生。可翻译为“随着……”

It will be half a year before I come back.字面:在我回来之前,时间将有半年。意为“我半年之后才会回来”。
It was long before they met again.字面:在他们再次见面之前,时间是很长的。意为“过了好久他们才再次见面”
It won't be long before you regret for what you've done.字面:在你后悔你的所作所为之前,时间不会长了。意为“不久你就会为你的所作所为后悔的”。
以上三句,it指“时间”,before表示“在……之前”,结合时态和肯定否定,就很容易理解句子的含义了。万变不离其宗,无论怎么翻译,before依然具有“在……之前”的本来意义。
5. after引导的时间状语从句

He left three days before you arrived.他在你到达的三天前就离开了。
The plane crashed three hours after it took off.飞机在起飞三小时后坠毁了。
以上两句,three days修饰before,说明“在三天之前”,不是“之前的三天内”;three hours修饰after, 说明“在....三小时之后”,不是“之后的三小时内”
6. since引导的时间状语从句

特别提示
(1)如果主句是延续性动词而且是否定,那么,意思是“没有做到……就结束”。如:
He didn't wait until I returned.他没有等到我回来。(不能理解为:一直到我回来他才开始等)
(2)not until位于句首时,主句用部分倒装。如:
She didn't feel happy until she saw the present.

让从句可以表示不可实现的条件或不可能存在的条件,是一种虚报的条件或假设。此时从向多用一般过去时或过去完成时,主句谓语动词也要相应发生变化,这就是所谓的“虚拟语气”。如:
If I were you, I would invite her to the party.如果我是你,我会邀请她参加聚会。
He would have arrived much earlier if he had not been caught in the traffic.如果没有堵车,他早就到了。
④在if之前加only,表示必要条件,意为“只有……才”。
Children are admitted only if they are accompanied by an adult.儿童必须有成年人陪同方可入场。
2. unless引导的条件状语从句
unless意为“除非,若不”,跟if意思相反。
I won't go to the party unless I'm invited.除非我被邀请,否则我不会去参加聚会的。
I always sleep with the window open unless it 's really cold.我总是开着窗户睡觉,除非天气非常冷。
Unless you work harder, you will not pass the examination.如果你不更努力学习,你就不会通过考试。
Unless I' m mistaken, she was back at work yesterday.如果我没记错的话,她昨天回来上班了
3.as long as引导的条件状语从句,意为“只要……”。也表示必要条件。
We'll go as long as the weather is good.只要天气好我们就去。
As long as you are in good health, nothing else matters.只要你身体健康,其他任何事都无关紧要。
4. on condition that引导的条件状语从句
on condition that引导的条件状语从句,是正式用语。表示主句事件发生的前提条件或唯一条件,相当于only if,意为“……条件下”。
John will go on condition that Mary is invited too.约翰愿意去,条件是玛丽也得到邀请。
They agreed to lend us the car on condition that (= only if) we returned it before the weekend.他们同意借车给我们,条
件是周末以前归还。
I allow you to go out on condition that you come back before dark.我允许你出去,条件是你在天黑之前回来。
5. supposing/providing/provided/given (that) 引导的条件状语从句
supposing/providing provided/given (hat)可以引导条件从句,表示一种假设条件,意为“如果”。
Supposing (that )you are wrong, what will you do then?假设你错了,那你会怎么办?
We'll buy everything you produce, providing/provided (that) the price is right. 倘若价格合适,我们将采购你们生产的人
部产品。
Given that you promise not to tell anyone else,I'll explain the secret to you.只要你保证不告诉任何人,我就把这个秘密诉你。
6. in case在英式英语中表示目的,在美式英语中可表条件,意为“如果,万一”。如:
In case the house burns down,we 'll get the insurance money.万一房子烧毁了,我们会得到保险金。
Take a hat with you in case the sun is very hot.带上帽子吧,万一太阳很晒呢。
七、让步状语从句
在复合句中作让步状语的从句,称为让步状语从句让步状语从句可置于句首,也可置于句末,有时可置于句中。引导让步状语从句的连词或词组有:although, though, even if, even though, as, whether...or..., while, when, wh-word + ever, no matter+ wh-word等。
1. though/although的用法
although和though用法相同,作“虽然,尽管”讲,都表示让步,一般情况下可互换使用,只是although语气较重,大多置于句首。though和although引导让步状语从句时,为了加强转折意义,主句可以用yet或still引出,但不可用but。though引导的从句可以把表语、状语、部分谓语动词提到主语之前。此外,though可以当副词用,而although不可以。
They are generous though they are poor.他们很穷,但他们很慷慨。
Though/Although she works very hard, ( yet ) she makes very slow progress.尽管她工作很努力,但还是进步非常缓慢。
Young though she is , she has traveled to many countries.她尽管年轻,但已到过很多国家。(表语提前)
I've a bit of a headache. It's nothing much, though.我有一点头痛,不过并不厉害。(though用作副词)
2. even though/even if引导的让步状语从句
这两个连词表示语气更强的让步,意为“即使;即便”even though强调对“既成事实"的让步,even if强调对作设意义”的让步。
Even though learning is slow and painful, the result wonderful.尽管学习是缓慢而痛苦的,可结果是美好的。
Even though/Even if you say so, I do not believe it.即使你这么说,我也不相信。
Even though he is poor, she loves him. (=He is poor, but she still loves him.)尽管他很穷,但她还是爱他。(既成事实
Even if he is poor, she loves him. (= He may be poor, but she still loves him. )即使他很穷,但她还是爱他。(假设意义
3. as引导的让步状语从句
as也可以引导让步状语从句,但必须调整语序,即把表语、状语、部分谓语动词提到主语之前,as的这种用法与though
倒装时的用法完全相同。此外,作表语的名词如有冠词,则要省去。
Famous singer as she is, she still needs to improve.尽管已是著名歌手,她仍需要努力。(作表语的名词置于句首时,要省略冠词)
Much as I like it, I won't buy it.虽然我很喜欢它,但我不会买。
Try as he might, he could not find a job.不管他怎样努力,他还是找不到工作。
4. whether...or...引导的让步状语从句
whether...or...表示“不论是否……”“不管是……还是……”之意。该连词词组引导的让步状语从句,说明正反两个方面的可能性都不会影响主句的倾向或结果。
All the nations should be equal, whether they are strong or weak.所有国家,无论强弱,都应该平等。
I'll have to attend your wedding ceremony whether I'm free or not.不管我忙不忙,都得参加你们的婚礼。
You've got to go to school, whether you like it or not.不管你喜欢不喜欢,你都得上学。
Whether or not we re successful, we can be sure that we have tried our best.不管成功与否,我们确实已尽了最大努力。
特别提示
whether...or...既可以引导让步状语从句,也可以引导名词性从句。比较:
Whether he is dead or alive , she will continue to live.不管他是死是活,她都将继续活下去。(让步状语从句)
Whether he is dead or alive doesn't matter to her.他是死是活对她来说无关紧要。( 名词性从句)
Whether you believe me or not, I will stick to my opinion.不管你信不信我,我都会坚持我的意见。(让步状语从句)
Whether you believe me or not makes no difference to me.你是否相信我对我来说没什么区别。(名词性从句)
5. while引导的让步状语从句
while引导的让步状语从句般要位于句首,表示虽然;尽管”。语气比though/although弱。
While I am willing to help,I do not have much time available.尽管我愿意帮忙,但是我没有多少时间。
In a word, while the prospects are bright, the road has twists and turns.总之,前途是光明的,道路是曲折的。
While I admit that there are problems, I don't agree that they can not be solved.虽然我承认存在问题,但我不认为这些问题无法解决。
6. when引导的让步状语从句
when也可以引导让步状语从句,表示“虽然,可是”,语气同while。when引导的让步状语从句般位于主句后。
She claimed to be 18, when I knew she was only16.她自称是18岁,可是我知道她才16岁。
The boy was restless when he should have listened to them carefully.那男孩本来应当专心听他们讲话,但他却坐立不安。
7. wh-word + ever和no matter + wh- word引导的让步状语从句
在英语中,wh-word + ever这类词既可用作疑问词,也可引导名词性从句,还可引导让步状语从句。这类词在引导让步状语从句时,常可换成“no matter + wh-word"
Whatever ( No matter what ) happened, I would believe in you.不管发生了什么,我都相信你。
Whenever (No matter when )you come, you are welcome.不管你什么时候来,都欢迎你。
Whoever (No matter who ) you are, you must obey the rules.不管你是谁,你都得遵守规定。
I'll wait for you however (no matter how)late it is.不管多么晚我都会等着你。
特别提示
“no matter+wh-word”结构只能引导让步状语从句,而“wh-word+ever"结构还可以引导名词性从句。
(1)“no matter + wh-word" 结构引导让步状语从句:
No matter how well you know Paris, it is easy to get lost.不管你对巴黎多么熟悉,都很容易迷路。
No matter what your age is, you can lose weight by following this program.不论年龄多大,你都可以按这套方案来减肥。
Recently, I feel tired no matter what I do.最近我无论做什么都感到疲劳。
Don't open the door, no matter who calls.无论谁来,都不要开门。
No matter how hard he may try, he will not succeed.不管他怎么努力去干,他都不会成功。
(2) whatever, whoever, whichever既可以引导让步状语
从句,还可以引导名词性从句。注意区别:
Whatever happens, the insurance company will pay for it.无论发生什么,这家保险公司都会赔偿的。(whatever引导让步状语从句= no matter what)
You may choose whatever you like.你可以选你喜欢的任何东西。(whatever引导名词性从句= anything that)
八、方式状语从句
在复合句中作方式状语的从句,称为方式状语从句。方式状语从句一般位于句末,通常由as, as if, as though, the way引导。
1. as引导的方式状语从句
as引导方式状语从句时,表示“按照;正如;像”之意,说明主句动作发生的方式。
I'll behave toward them as I would like to be treated.我会以希望别人对待我的方式来对待他们。
在美式英语中,like可以用作连词,等于as
You should do it like/as I do.你应按我做的那样去做。
Do you make bread like/as you make cakes?你做面包的方法是不是和你做蛋糕的方法一样?
2. as if/as though引导的方式状语从句
两者的意义和用法相同,意为“仿佛;好像”。引出的状语从句可以使用陈述语气,也可使用虚拟语气。无论哪种语气,从句所表示的意思基本都是非真实的。
She travels around the world as if money is no object.她环游世界,好像钱不是问题。
I can remember our wedding as if it were yesterday.我们的婚礼我记忆犹新,就像发生在昨天一样。
He behaved as if nothing had happened.他表现得若无其事。
There was a huge bang as if someone had exploded a rocket outside.突然一声巨响,仿佛有人在外面引爆了火箭似的。
They feel shame and guilt as though it is their fault.他们觉得羞愧和内疚,就好像这是他们的错。
在美式英语中,like可以用作连词,等于as if/as though。
He looked very excited, like he had won the lottery.他看上去很兴奋,好像中了彩票似的。
特别提示
①一般认为,在感官系动词look, seem, appear, sound, feel, smell, taste之后,as if/as though/like引导的是表语从句,而不是方式状语从句。例如:
It seems as though he has a conflict with his friend.他看起来好像与朋友发生了冲突。
He looks as if he were a foreigner.他看上去像是一个外国人。
It appears as if she were junior to me by several years, but in fact, she is three years older than me.看上去她好像比我小好几岁,但是事实上她比我大三岁。
②根据从句的时态形式,判断是陈述语气还是虚拟语气。
The boss speaks aloud as if he is angry.老板大声说着话像是生气了。(他可能真的生气了)
The boss speaks aloud as if he were angry.老板大声地说话就像生气了似的。(他并没有生气)
3. the way引导的方式状语从句
the way可以用作连词,引导方式状语从句,相当于as。
She doesn't speak the way he does.她说话的方式与他不同。
I shall do the work the way my father did.我将像我父亲那样做这项工作。
九、比较状语从句
在复合句中作比较状语的从句,称为比较状语从句。比较状语从句一般位于句末,常用as,than等连接词引导“the+比较级..., the +比较级...”结构也可引导比较状语从句。
1. as...as...结构
第一个as是副词,用在主句中,表示“像……一样的”。由此,第二个as引出比较状语从句。否定时,用not as...as...或not so...as...均可。
He speaks English as well as you do.他英语说得和你一样好。
His handwriting is not as/so good as yours is.他的书法不如你的好。
There are as many people in our town as ( there are)in your town.我们镇的人口和你们镇的一样多。
2.比较级+ than...结构
主句中含有形容词或副词的比较级,然后由连词than引出比较状语从句。表示“主句比从句更怎样”。
She's smarter than her brother.她比她哥哥聪明。
She works harder than he does.她工作比他努力。
He was more successful than we had expected.他比我们想象的要成功得多。
He comes to the club less often than he used to.他来俱乐部不如原来频繁了。
特别提示
(1)记住以下表达和区别:
①He is as wise as his brother.他和他哥哥样聪明
②He is not as wise as his brother.他不如他哥哥聪明
③He is not so wise as his brother.他不如他哥哥聪明
④He is wiser than his brother.他比他哥哥聪明。
⑤He is not wiser than his brother.他不比他哥哥聪明。(最多一样聪明)
⑥He is not any wiser than his brother.他和他哥哥一样都不聪明。
⑦He is no wiser than his brother.他和他哥哥一样都不聪明。
(2)一般而言,比较状语从句应该省略与主句重复的成分。但由于省略的原因,可能造成误解。比较以下两句:
He loves me more than you.他爱我胜过爱你。
He loves me more than you do.他比你更爱我。
句1,实际在than从句中省略了he loves。等于说:He loves me more than he loves you.
句2,实际等于说:He loves me more than you love me."
(3)“比较”的概念范围非常广泛,远非我们上面的例句所能概括。它可以发生在两个人或事物之间,比较同一个事项(如表语)。例如:汤姆和约翰比较谁聪明。
Tom is as clever as John.汤姆和约翰一样聪明。
Tom is not so clever as John.汤姆不如约翰聪明。
Tom is more clever than John.汤姆比约翰聪明。
比较还可以发生在同一个人或同一个事物身上,去比较两个不同的事项。这样的比较叫做“择比”,它仍然是比较的一种。例如:汤姆自身两种品质的比较。
Tom is as clever as hard-working.汤姆既聪明又勤奋。
Tom is not so clever as hard-working.汤姆与其说聪明,不如说勤奋。
Tom is more clever than hard-working.汤姆与其说勤奋,不如说聪明。
3.递进关系的比较状语从句
递进关系的比较状语从句,常用结构为“the+比较级..., the +比较级...”
The more careful you are, the fewer mistakes you will make.你越小心,出的错就越少。
The sooner you come back, the better it will be.你回来得越早越好。
十、状语从句的省略
为了使句子简练,状语从句经常省略成分。在某些状语从句中,当其主语跟主句的主语一致或者主语是it,而且含有be动词时,可以把主语(一般是代词充当)以及be动词一起省略。这个规则必须满足3个条件: (1)限于某些状语从句;
(2)主、从句的主语必须一致,或者从句中的主语是it;
(3)含有be动词,可以是系动词be,可以是进行时态的be,也可以是被动语态的be。如:
Mary often helped her classmates when ( she was) free. (was是系动词)
While ( you were ) walking the dog, you were careless. ( were是进行时的助动词)
John won't come to your party unless (he is) invited. (is是被动语态的助动词)
1.时间状语从句的省略
When ( she was ) very young, she began to learn to play the violin. 她很小的时候,就开始学习拉小提琴。
Tom likes to listen to music while ( he is ) reading.汤姆喜欢读书时听音乐。
2.条件状语从句的省略
If ( he is ) given more time, he will do the work better.如果给他更多的时间,他会把这份工作做得更好。
Unless (you are) here, you can't find this kind of plants.除非你在这里,其他地方你找不到这种植物。
此外,常见的条件句省略形式有: if necessary, if possible, if true, if so,if not,if any, if anything, if anyone, if ever, if at
all, if not better than等。
If (it is) possible, I'll come to help.如果可能的话,我会来帮忙的。
If (it is) true, this will cause us a lot of trouble.如果是真的,这会给我们带来很多麻烦。
There are few people nowadays, if(there are) any, who remember him.现在能记得他的人即使有也很少了。
Jim plays football as well as, if not better than, Mike.吉姆踢足球如果不是比迈克踢得更好,至少也是一样好。
3.让步状语从句的省略
Though ( he is )a young man, he has made several inventions.虽然还是个年轻人,但他已经有好几项发明了
He is a good man, though sometimes ( he is ) rather dull.他是个好人,尽管有时相当无聊。
Even if (I am ) invited to, I won't go to such a bad lecture.即使邀请我去,我也不会参加如此糟糕的讲座。
4.比较状语从句的省略
由than或as引导的比较状语从句,在意义明确的情况下,可以省略than或as后面的相应部分。
I know you better than (I know ) him.我对你比对他了解得更清楚。
I know you better than he (knows you) .我比他更了解你。
She has finished the work earlier than ( she was ) expected.她这项工作比预料的提前完成。
