状语从句英语 篇1

（三）状语从句

（一）时间状语从句

例题 I didn’t manage to do it _____ you had explained how.A.unlessB.untilC.whenD.since 分析 时间状语从句在复合句中作状语，表示主句动作发生的时间。引导这种从句的词有after, before, as, when, while , till , until, since, once;连接副词immediately 等；起连接作用的短语as soon as, by the 不能用形容词such.例如：

● Soon there were so many deer that they ate up all the wild roses.4.so+ adj.(adv.)+that+从句●The boy is so old that he can go to school.5.so + adj.+ a(an)+单数名词

●He is so good a student that we all like him.time, hardly…when, no sooner…than等。例如： ● I was writing a letter when he came in.● She did not go to bet until she(had)finished her homework.● It is nearly six years since we began to learn English.● Once you begin, you must go on.● By the time I arrived at the station, the train had left.时间状语从句中谓语动词的时态用法，应注意下面两点： 1． 要用一般现在时替代一般将来时，例如： ● I’ll let him know when he comes.2.要用一般过去时替代过去将来时，例如： ●He said he would wait here until I came back.例题的意思是：“直到你说明怎么办之后，我才设法把这件事做好。”根据题意，须由until 引导此例的时间状语从句，所以正确答案应为B。

（二）地点状语从句

例题 When you read the book , you’d better make a mark _____ you have any questions.A.at whichB.at whereC.the place whereD.where

分析 地点状语从句在复合句中作状语，表示主句的动作发生的处所或方向，这种从句通常用连接副词where，wherever(无论在哪里，无论到哪里)引导。例如： ● Where there is oppression, there is struggle.例题的意思是：“你看书时，最好在有问题的地方做一个记号。”此复合句中的从句是个地点状语从句，须用连接副词where 引导，所以正确答案应为D。

（三）结果（程度）状语从句

例题 She told us _____story that we all forgot about the time.A.such an interestingB.such interesting aC.so an interestingD.a so interesting

分析 结果状语从句在复合句中作状语，表示主句的动作所引起的结果。这种从句由such…that, so…that, so that等引导。其用法举例如下： 1． Such +a(an)+(adj.)+单数可数名词+ that+从句

● He left in such a hurry that he forgot to lock the door.2.such+(adj.)+复数可数名词+从句

●He had such long arms that he could almost touch the ceiling.3.such+(adj.)+不可数名词+that+从句

●He made such rapid progress that he did very well in the mid-term exam.在“such+ adj.+ n.+that+ clause”这个结构中，其中名词由many, much, few, little 修饰时，须用副词so,例题中的结果状语从句由“such+ an + adj.+单数可数名词+that”引导。属于第一种情况，所以正确答案应为A。

（四）目的状语从句

例题 I hurried____ I wouldn’t be late for class.A.sinceB.so thatC.as ifD.unless 分析 目的状语从句在复合句中作状语，表示主句的动作发生的目的。这种从句用连词so that, in order that 等引导。目的状语从句的谓语动词中常有情态动词may/might, can/ could, will/ would 和should.例如：

● He is working hard so that he may pass his examination.例题中有一个目的状语从句，所以正确答案应为D。

（五）条件状语从句

例题_____he comes, we won’t be able to go.A.WithoutB.UnlessC.ExceptD.Even 分析 条件状语从句在复合句中作状语，表示主句的动作发生的条件、假定等。条件状语从句通常由连词if, unless和起连接作用的短语so/ as long as(只要)，so far as(就…)，suppose(that)(假定)等引导。例如：

● If it rains tomorrow, we’ll stay at home.● He will not come unless he is invited.● Suppose he is absent, what shall we do?

● As long as we don’t lose heart , we’ll find a way to overcome the difficulty.例题的选项中只有unless 可以引导一个条件状语从句，所以正确答案应为B。

（六）让步状语从句

例题 _____, he doesn’t study well.A.As he is cleverB.He is as cleverC.Clever as he isD.As clever he is

分析 让步状语从句在复合句中作状语，表示某种不利的情况或障碍，但这些因素并不能阻止主句的动作的发生。这种从句通常用连词although, though, as, however等；连接代词whatever, whoever等；起连接作用的短语even if though, no matter how what who 等引导。例如： ● Although/ Though the task was difficult, they managed to complete it in time.● Young as he is, he knows a lot.用as 引导让步状语从句时，常用倒装语序，如上面例句所示。● Nobody believed him no matter what / whatever he said.● He will never succeed.however/no matter how hard he tries.● Even if/ though an icy wind blew from the north, we always slept with our windows open.例题中有一个as 引导的让步状语从句，故从句中的表语clever 须放到as 前面去，所以正确答案应为C。

状语从句英语 篇2

一、译成条件状语从句

英语的定语从句如果在意义上具有表明主句条件的含义, 在翻译时可以加上汉语表示条件关系的词语, 如“如果”等词, 并转译成汉语相应的从句。

如:In fact, it is difficult to see how journalists who do not have a clear grasps of the basic features of the Canadian Constitution can do a competent job on political stories.译成条件状语时, 很多情况下都是定语从句紧随主语之后, 本句情况也是如此, 本句的定语从句是“who do not have a clear grasps of the basic features of the Canadian Constitution”, 译为“记者们还没有清楚地掌握加拿大宪法的主要特征”, 主句是“how journalists can do a competent job on political stories.”译为“他们是如何胜任报道政治事件这一工作的”, 两者之间的关系是前者是后者的条件。译文:事实上, 如果记者还没有清楚地掌握加拿大宪法的主要特征, 就很难看出他们是如何胜任报道政治事件这一工作的。

二、译成让步状语从句

英语的定语从句如果在意义上具有表明主句让步的含义, 在翻译时可以加上汉语表示让步关系的词语, 如“虽然”等词, 并转译成汉语相应的从句。

如:Immigrants are quickly fitting into this common culture, which may not be altogether elevating but is hardly poisonous.本句也是由两个层次组成, 一个是主句“Immigrants are quickly fitting into this common culture, ”从句是“which may not be altogether elevating but is hardly poisonous.”这句话中有明显的连接词“but”, 这里我们只能将which译为“虽然”。译文:移民很快适应了这种共同的文化, 这虽然总体上算不上是振奋人心, 却几乎毫无害处。

三、译成转折状语从句

英语的定语从句如果在意义上具有表明主句转折的含义, 在翻译时可以加上汉语表示转折关系的词语, 如“但是”“而”等词, 并转译成汉语相应的从句。

如:The American middle-class family that once could count on hard work and fair play to keep itself financially secure has been transformed by economic risk and new realities.本句仍然是两个层次, 主句为“The American middle-class family has been transformed by economic risk and new realities”, 译为“美国中产阶级家庭已经被经济风险和新的现实给改变了”, 从句是“that once could count on hard work and fair play to keep itself financially secure”, 译为“曾经指望通过刻苦的工作和公平竞争来确保他们的经济稳定”。分别翻译后确定这两句是转折关系, 说的是从前和现在。这个定语从句是一个转折状语从句。译文:美国中产阶级家庭曾经指望通过刻苦的工作和公平竞争来确保他们的经济稳定, 但是这一点已经被经济风险和新的现实给改变了。

四、译成目的状语从句

当英语的定语从句所修饰的先行词出现在主句的宾语位置上时, 翻译时有可能译为目的状语从句, 译为“为了”“以”“以便”等词, 并转译成汉语相应的从句。

如:Because I wanted my kids’deposits to grow at a pace that hold their attention, I offered an attractive interest rate——five per cent a month.这个句子中的原因状语从句Because I wanted my kids’deposits to grow rapidly at a pace that hold their attention中又带了一个定语从句that hold their attention来修饰pace, 这部分句子可以拆分为3个层次的意思:1.因为我希望孩子的存款迅速增长;2.以一种速度;3.引起孩子的注意。其中定语从句部分说明的是“以这个速度”增长的目的, 所以定语从句在整个原因状语从句中体现的是一种目的。译文:因为我希望孩子们的存款速度足以引起他们的注意, 便给他们一个惊人的利率——月息五厘。

摘要：在考研英语的文章中, 复合句出现频率很高, 而且经常出现从句套从句的状况, 这其中定语从句是最常出现的。也是最难理清中文思路的。我们曾经讨论了定语从句转化为原因状语和结果状语从句的情况。本文作者仍以考研英语文章中的句子为语料, 介绍考研英语中定语从句转化为条件状语从句、让步状语从句和转折状语从句的辨别和翻译。

状语从句 篇7

状语从句的类型

时间状语从句

常用的引导词有when, while, before, after, until, as soon as, since等。

注意:其中when, before, after, until, as soon as引导的时间状语从句, 用一般现在时来代替将来时。

1.when, while

when引导时间状语从句, 意为“当……时”, 表示主句的动作和从句的动作同时或先后发生。when引导的从句既能与终止性动词连用, 也能与延续性动词连用。如:

I feel very happy when you come to see me.

When you are crossing the street, you must be careful.

while引导的时间状语从句, 意为“与……同时”, “在……期间”, 从句中的动词通常都是延续性动词或表示状态的动词。如:

They rushed in while we were discussing problems.

Father looked after the dog while I was out.

2.before, after, as soon as

before表示主句的动作发生在从句动作之前, 意为“在……之前”;after表示主句的动作发生在从句动作之后, 意为“在……之后”;as soon as表示主句的动作是紧接在从句动作之后发生的, 意为“一……就……”。如:

You should make a good plan before you do anything important.

He called me after he had finished his work.

I’ll tell him about it as soon as he comes back.

3.until (till)

until (till) 在肯定句中, 只能与延续性动词连用, 意为“到……为止”;在否定句中, 可与短暂性动词连用, 意为“直到……才”, 这时till和until可以用before替换。如:

I’ll stay here until you come back. (stay表示的动作可以持续)

He didn’t go to bed until he finished his homework. (go to bed表示的动作不能持续, 但否定意义表示状态, 可持续)

4.since引导时间状语从句时, 意为“自从……”, 主句常用现在完成时表可延续动作或状态, 从句用一般过去时。也可用在“It is+一段时间+since+时态为一般过去时的从句”的句型中。如:

We haven’t seen each other for eight years since we met last time.

It is eight years since we met last time.

条件状语从句

常用的引导连词有if和unless, 表示假如有从句动作的发生, 就会或不会有主句动作的发生。如:

If it doesn’t rain tomorrow, we will go there by bike.

Unless it rains, we will go there by bike.

注意:与时间状语从句一样, 条件状语从句中, 从句用一般现在时表将来。

原因状语从句

常用的引导词有because, as和since。

由why提出的问题, 须用because引导的从句来回答;对于显而易见的原因, 常用as或since引导的从句来回答。as和since引导的从句常放在主句之前, 而because引导的从句常放在主句之后。如:

—Why are you late again?

—Because my bike broke on my way.

As it was raining hard, we had to be indoors.

Since you’re not feeling well, you’d better not go to work today.

注意:同一复合句中, 主句和从句只需用一个连词连接, 故because不能与so同时出现。

地点状语从句

常用的引导词有where和wherever。如:

Where there is a will, there is a way.

We’ll go wherever you like.

结果状语从句

常用句式主要有so/such…that…, 意为“如此……以至于……”。

so...that...结构在某种情况下可以与too...to...和enough to结构互换。如:

She is so young that she can’t go to school.

She is too young to go to school.

She isn’t old enough to go to school.

目的状语从句

常用的连词有so that和in order that, 意为“以便”, “为了”, 可用to, so as to或in order to替换, 将句子合并为简单句。如:

He got up early so that he could get to school on time.

He got up early (so as) to get to school on time.

In order to get to school on time, he got up early.

让步状语从句

常用的引导词有although/though, whoever, however, whatever等。如:

Although he is very young, he knows several languages.

However hard he tries, he can not make it.

注意:同一句中, although/though不能与but同时出现。
