2022年初中英语方式状语从句
方式状语从句
方式状语从句通常由as, (just) as…so…, as if, as though引导。
1) as, (just) as…so…引导的方式状语从句通常位于主句后,但在(just) as…so…结构中位于句首,这时as从句带有比喻的含义,
意思是"正如…","就像",多用于正式文体,例如:
do this as I have told you.如我告诉你那样去做。
As water is to fish, so air is to man.
我们离不开空气,犹如鱼儿离不开水。
Just as we sweep our rooms, so we should sweep backward ideas from our minds.
['bækwəd] adj. 落后的。[swi:p] vt. & vi. 扫, 打扫, 拂去
正如打扫房屋一样,我们也要扫除我们头脑中落后的东西。
2) as if, as though
两者的意义和用法相同,引出的状语从句谓语多用虚拟语气,表示与事实相反,有时也用陈述语气,表示所说情况是事实或实现的可能性较大。
汉译常作"仿佛……似的","好像……似的",例如:
They completely ignore these facts as if (as though) they never existed.
Completely [kəm'pli:tli] adv. 完整地, 完全地.
ignore[iɡ'nɔ:] vt. 不顾, 不理, 忽视.
exist [iɡ'zist]vi. 存在,;生存,幸存
他们完全忽略了这些事实,就仿佛它不存在似的。(与事实相反,谓语用虚拟语气。)
He looks as if (as though) he had been hit by lighting.
他那样子就像被雷击了似的。(与事实相反,谓语用虚拟语气。)
It looks as if the weather may pick up very soon.
看来天气很快就会好起来。(实现的可能性较大,谓语用陈述语气。)
说明:as if / as though也可以引导一个分词短语、不定式短语或无动词短语,例如:
He stared at me as if seeing me for first time.,他目不转睛地看着我,就像第一次看见我似的。
Stare at [stɛə] vt. & vi. 凝视; 瞪视
He cleared his throat as if to say something. 他清了清嗓子,像要说什么似的。
