[關鍵詞]狀語從句 從句主語 主句主語 省略情況
在表示時間、地點、條件、方式、讓步和比較的狀語從句中,如果從句主語和主句主語一致,并且從句中含有be動詞時,常常可以把從句的主語和be動詞省略,從而構成“從屬連詞+形容詞/現在分詞/過去分詞/名詞/副詞/介詞短語”的結構。這種結構在英語中頻頻出現,現小結如下。
從屬連詞+形容詞。例如:
When (I was) young , I loved music very much .我年輕時非常喜歡音樂。
She hurriedly went out as if (she was) angry.她匆匆出去了,好像生氣了。
從屬連詞+現在分詞。例如:
Be careful when (you are) crossing the road.過馬路時要小心。
While (he was) walking in the street this morning , he met an old friend of his.今天早晨在街上散步時,他遇到了一個老朋友。
The old woman stood there silently as if (she was) thinking of something.那個老太太靜靜地站在那里,好像在想什么。
從屬連詞+過去分詞。例如:
Once (it was) seen , it can never be forgotten.一旦看見它,就永遠不會忘記。
I won't go to his birthday party unless (I am) invited.如果不被邀請,我就不去參加他的生日聚會。
從屬連詞+名詞。 例如:
Although/Though (he is) still a child, he knows a lot of things.他雖然還是個孩子,但他知道很多事情。
As (he was) a young man ,he worked as a driver.他年輕時當過司機。
從屬連詞+副詞。例如:
While (I was) there ,I made quite a few good friend.在那里的那段時間我交了不少好朋友。
從屬連詞+介詞短語。 例如:
Whenever (you are) in difficulty, you can ask your teacher for help.無論你什么時候遇到困難,都可以向老師求助。
The young man looked around as if ( he was) in search of something.那個年輕人向四周環視,好像在尋找什么。
在表示時間、條件的狀語從句中,如果從句中含有it is ,that is, there is 的話,通常把它們省略。
Whenever (it is) possible , he drops in on his first teacher on his way home.只要可能,在回家的路上他都要去拜訪他的啟蒙老師。
If (that is) so, I will stay at home.倘若如此,我將呆在家里。
Come as quickly as (it is) possible.你盡可能快點來。
I′ll help you when (it is) necessary.必要時我會幫助你的。
