二、方式状语从句

方式状语从句用来表示主句谓语动作发生的方式,通常由as、(just) as…so…、as if、as though等引导。

(一)as

as表示“正如”,其引导的从句既可以放在句首,也可以位于句末。如:

  • But Americans still talk about 'fall' just as people do in some parts of western England. (但是美国人还是说“fall”,就象英格兰西部有些地区的人现在说“fall” 一样。)

  • As is known to all, black powder was first invented in China. (众所周知,火药是最先在中国发明的。)

【注意】

此时的as,与“in the way+从句”的用法类似。如:

  • Do you work in the way I have shown you? (你是按我示范的方法做的吗?)

  • He can only do his homework in the way I told him. (他只会按我告诉他的方法做作业。)

以上两句中的in the way都可以换作as,即:

  • Do you work as I have shown you?

  • He can only do his homework as I told him.

(二)(just) as…, so…

“(just) as…, so…”表示“正如...一样,...也...”,此时as从句带有比喻的含义,多用于正式文体。如:

  • Just as you hate Mr Green, so I dislike his wife. (就像你憎恨格林先生一样.我也不喜欢他的妻子。)

  • Just as you would not, so neither would they. (正如你们不愿意一样,他们也不会答应的。)

(三)as if/as though

as if和as though都表示“好像”,两者的用法相同,其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。如:

1、与事实相反

  • I felt as if my heart would burst with joy. (我觉得自己高兴得心花怒放。)

  • She looks as if nothing had happened to her. (她当时看起来好像什么事都没发生似的。)

  • She dolled herself up as though she was a girl of eighteen. (她打扮得花枝招展,好像是个十八岁的姑娘似的。)

  • He acted this part as though he had been fainting with desire. (他演这一角色演得好像欲望令他变成如痴如狂一般。)

2、与事实相符

  • It seems as if he knows everything. (他似乎是个万事通。)

  • It looks as if it isn't clean enough to bathe here. (看起来海水好像不干净,不能游泳。)

  • It looks as though you've bungled again. (看来你好像又把事情搞糟了。)

  • The kitchen looks as though it's been repainted. (厨房看上去好象重新漆过一样。)

【注意】

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。如:

  • He walked along as if favoring his sore foot. (他走路像是特别小心照顾他那只酸痛的脚似的。

  • He shook his head as if to say no. (他摇摇头好象在说不。)

  • The paper turned green as if by magic. (这纸魔术般地变成了绿色。)

  • He raised his hand as though to take off his hat. (他举起手来,象要脱帽似的。)

  • She smiled, as though solaced by the memory. (她笑了,仿佛在往事的回忆中得到了安慰。)

  • She looked anxious as though (she was) in trouble. (她看上去很焦急,好像遇到了麻烦。)

(四)the way

“the way+从句”表示“用这样的方法,从...的样子看来”。如:

  • It's a crime the way he bullies his children. (像他那样欺负自己的孩子真缺德。)

  • He's always knocking the way I do things. (他总是挑剔我做得不对。)
