三、 while 引导状语从句时 应注意以下几点:

1. while 引导的时间状语从句既可放在句首 也可放在句末;而 while 引导的让步状语从句一般放在句首 不放在句末.另外 也可以从意义上加以区分.例如:

While the news so far has been good there may be days ahead when it is bad.

尽管到现在为止还都是好消息,但是可能过不了几天就会有坏消息传来

While he was tired he went on working.

(虽然他累了 但他还是继续工作.)

( while 引导让步状语从句)

(他累了就休息一会儿.)

( while 引导时间状语从句)

2. while 引导让步状语从句时 如果从句的主语和主句的主语相同 那么从句的主语和谓语动词 be 都可以省略.例如:

While he was ill he went there. (= While ill he went there.)

(虽然他有病 但他还是去那里了.)

3. while 和 when 都可以引导时间状语从句 但应注意: while 引导的时间状语从句中的谓语动词必须是延续性的动词或表示状态的动词;而 when 引导的时间状语从句中的谓语动词既可以是延续性动词 也可以是非延续性动词.当时间状语从句中的谓语动词是延续性动词时 while 和 when 可以互相替换.例如:

While we were talking the teacher came in.

(我们正在谈话时 老师进来了.)

The bus had left when we arrived at the bus stop.

(当我们到达车站时 公共汽车已经开走了.)

( arrive 是非延续性动词 因此 此句中的 when 不能用 while 替换.)

When / While we were having a meeting our teacher came in.

(我们正在开会时 老师走了进来.)

( have 是延续性动词 因此 句中的 when 可以用 while 替换.)

while引导的时间状语从句多用进行时态 而when引导的时间状语从句多用一般时态. 例如:While they were talking the bell rang.正在他们谈话的时候 上课铃响了.

I was doing my homework when my mother came back home yesterday evening.昨天晚上妈妈回家的时候 我正在做家庭作

4. while 引导的状语从句还可以表示“某个动作正在进行的同时 另一个动作也在进行之中”.例如:

While the teacher was speaking the students were listening.

(老师讲课时 学生们在听.)

While he was writing I was reading

趁做某事的时候;顺便;顺带

I'm just going to buy some postcards.’ ‘Can you get me some stamps while you're at it?’

四、辨析when as while 【导航词义:当…时】

when conj. 在…时,当…时

〔辨析〕

所引导的状语从句中,谓语可以是延续性动词,也可以是瞬时动词,其动作既可以和主句的动作同时发生,也可以在主句的动作之前或之后发生。
