Ⅱ.研典句 学用法
1
as if/though 引导方式状语从句
I expected to feel instantly different,as if I had closed the door on my childhood and stepped into a whole new adult world.(P3 Para.2)
我曾经期待马上会有不一样的感觉,就好像自己关闭了童年的大门,踏入一个全新的成人世界。
结构分析:本句为复合句,as if...adult world为as if引导的方式状语从句;从句用had done,表示与过去事实相反。
as if/though意为“仿佛,好像”引导方式状语从句分以下两种情况:
• 如果所引导的从句表示的情况是真实的或是极有可能发生的,从句要用陈述语气。
• 当说话人所陈述的是不真实的或极不可能发生或存在的情况时,从句要用虚拟语气。
①如果从句表示与现在事实相反,谓语动词用一般过去式(be动词一般用were)。
②如果从句表示与过去事实相反,谓语动词用“had+过去分词”。
③如果从句表示与将来事实相反,谓语动词用“would/could/might/
should+动词原形”。

满18岁后,社会对待我的方式也改变了。
结构分析:本句为复合句,句中that society viewed me为定语从句,修饰先行词the way。从句引导词为that,在从句中作状语。
way(方式,方法)后的定语从句的引导词有两种:
• 在way后面的从句中,如果引导词作主语、宾语或表语,要用that或which引导定语从句,引导词作宾语时可以省略。
• 在way后面的从句中,如果引导词作状语,则用that或in which引导定语从句,也可以省略引导词。

The way was quite simple.

3
more...than...
I guess some responsibilities are more about attitude than age.(P4 Para.3)
我觉得要想负起一些责任,更多的是关乎态度,而不是年龄。
结构分析:本句为简单句;句中的more...than...意为“与其说……倒不如说……”。
• more...than...结构强调more后面的内容,表示同一个人或事物的两种特征对比,more和than 后接形容词、副词的原级、名词或介词短语等两个并列成分。
• more than+
