狀 語 從 句
一、基本概念
定義：在復合句中由從句表示的狀語稱作狀語從句，它可以用來修飾謂語（包括非謂語動詞）、定語或狀語，或是整個句子。狀語從句通常由一個連詞引起，也可以由一個起連詞作用的詞組引起，有時甚至不需要連詞直接和主句連接起來。狀語從句一般分為九大類（見下表）：

1．時間狀語從句：
在時間狀語從句中，要注意時態一致，一般情況下主句是將來時的時候，從句要用一般現在時。可以引導時間狀語從句的連詞很多，根據意義和主從句之間的時間關系，又可分類如下：
(1) 表示同時性， 即主從句的謂語動作同時發生或幾乎同時發生。其連詞有：when （當……的時候）, while（當……的時候）, as（當……的時候）, as soon as（一……就……）, once（一旦……）等。如：
Strike while the iron is hot. 趁熱打鐵。
While I am washing the floor, you can be cleaning the windows.（while含有對比的意思）
我洗地板的時候，你可以擦窗戶。
As / When I came home, I met an old schoolmate of mine.
我回家的時候遇到了我的一位老同學。
I’ll ring you up as soon as I get an answer from him. 我一有他的答復就給你打電話。
Once you see him, you will never forget him. 你一旦見過他，就不會忘了他的。
(2) 表示先時或后時，即主句的謂語動作發生在從句之前或之后，主要連詞有：after （在……后）, before （在……之前）, when (=after)等。如：
After / When the children had gone to bed, she began to prepare her lessons.（從句的動作發生在主句的動作之前，所以從句用了過去完成時） 孩子睡覺了以后她開始備課。
He had learned English for three years before he went to London.（主句的動作發生在從句的動作之前，所以主句用了過去完成時） 他去倫敦之前已學了三年英語。
It was not long before I forgot it all. (It is / was / will be …before…是常用句型)
He ran off before I could stop him.（主句和從句的動作幾乎同時發生，時態一致）
我還沒來得及阻止他他就跑掉了。(注意before在漢語中的譯義)
(3) 表示習慣性、經常性，即從句描述的不是一次性動作，而是經常發生的習慣性動作。主要連詞有every time（每次）, each time（每次）, whenever（每當）等。例如：
Whenever we met with difficulties, they came to help us.
每當我們遇上困難的時候，他們就來幫我們。
Each time he came to town he would visit our school.
他每次進城，總要來看看我們的學校。

（4）表示持續性或瞬間性，主要連詞有：since（自從）, ever since（自從）, until（直到……才/為止）, till（直到……才/為止）等。如：
It is just a week since we arrived here.（It is /was… since…是常用句型）
我們到這兒剛剛一星期。 (主句的動作或狀態持續時間較短，不能用ever since)

2．地點狀語從句
地點狀語從句是由where（在……的地方）, wherever（無論哪里）引導的：
Wuhan lies where the Yangtze and the Han River meet. 武漢位于長江和漢水匯合處。
Where there is a will, there is a way. 有志者，事竟成。
You’d better make a mark where you have a question.
(這里where引導的從句不是定語從句) 哪兒有問題，你最好在哪兒做個記號。

I do it because I like it. 因為我喜歡我才干。(because不能與 so連用)
He couldn’t have seen me, because I was not there.
他不可能見過我，因為當時我不在那兒。

4．目的狀語從句
引導目的狀語從句的主要連詞有:that, so that（以便）, in order that（為了）, for fear that（以便）, in case（萬一）等，從句中常常使用一些情態動詞，如：can, could, may, might, should等。如：

5．結果狀語從句
引導結果狀語從句的連詞有：that, so that（從句中不帶情態動詞）, so…that(如此……以致……), such…that(如此……以致……)等。
What has happened that you all look so excited?
發生了什么事，使你們都顯得如此興奮？

Jenny is such a clever girl that all the teachers like her very much = Jenny is so clever a girl that…. Jenny是如此聰明的女孩，以至老師們都非常喜歡她。
但是，當名詞前有many, much, few, little(少)修飾時，要用so,不能用such。例如：
I have had so many falls that I am black and blue all over.
我摔了許多跤，以至于渾身青一塊，紫一塊。
He has so few friends that he often feels lonely. 他朋友很少，所以經常感到孤獨。
I had so little money then that I couldn’t afford a little present.
我當時囊腫羞澀，連一份小小禮物都買不起。
6．條件狀語從句
表示條件的狀語從句可以由if（如果）, unless（除非）, in case（萬一）, so /as long as（只要）, as/ so far as（就……而言）, on condition that（條件是……）, suppose（假設）, supposing（假設）（僅用在問句中）等詞或詞組引導。一般情況下當主句是將來時的時候，從句要用一般現在時。
As/So long as we don’t lose heart, we’ll find a way to overcome the difficulty.
只要我們不灰心，我們就能找到克服困難的方法。
Send us a message in case you have any difficulty.

假設我們弄不到足夠的食物，那我們怎么辦？
7．方式狀語從句
方式狀語從句常由as（與……一樣）, as if（仿佛）, as though（仿佛）等詞引導：

Leave things as they are.讓一切順其自然。
She stood at the door as if (=as though) she were waiting for someone.
她站在門口，仿佛在等人似的。（由as if或 as though引導的從句中可用虛擬語氣）

9．讓步狀語從句
讓步狀語從句由although（盡管）, though（盡管）, however（無論怎樣）, whatever（無論什么）, whoever（無論誰）, whomever（無論誰）, whichever（無論哪個）, whenever（無論何時）, wherever（無論哪里）, whether（是否）, no matter (who, what, where, when, etc) （無論……）, even if（即使）, even though（即使）等詞引導。如：

無論我說什么或怎么說，他總認為是我錯。
連詞as也可以引導讓步狀語從句，但從句中要用特殊語序。如：
Young as he is, he knows a lot=Though he is young 或Young though he is, he….
他雖然年輕，但懂得很多。
(though 也有這種用法，可以替換as,但although沒有這種用法)
though還可以用作副詞，放在句末。如：
It was hard work;; I enjoyed it, though=It was hard work, but I enjoyed it.
那工作很苦，但是我喜歡干。
二、狀語從句疑難點
1．as, when, while的區別
as, when, while都表示主、從句的動作或狀態同時發生，但三者意義不盡相同。as和when引導的從句既可表示一點時間，也可表示一段時間，從句中的謂語動詞既可以是持續性動詞，也可以為短暫性動詞，經常可以互換使用；while引導的從句通常表示一段時間，從句中宜用持續性動詞作謂語。當從句中的謂語動詞為持續性動詞時，這三者可以通用（前面例句中已有體現），再如：
Mother was worried because little Alice was ill, especially as / when / while father was away in France. 媽媽擔心，因為小艾麗思病了，特別是當父親遠在法國的時候。
如果從句和主句要表示一個人的兩個動作交替進行或同時完成時，則多用as，可譯為“一邊......，一邊......”。例如：
He looked behind from to time as he went. 他一邊走，一邊不時地往后看。
As time goes on, it’s getting warmer and warmer..
隨著時間的推移，天氣變得越來越暖了。
I thought of it just as you opened your mouth.
你一張嘴我就知道你要說什么。（若表示兩個短促動作幾乎同時發生時，用as的場合多于when.）
當主從句之間表示轉折或對比關系時，多用while, 不用as或when。如：
She thought I was talking about her daughter, while in fact, I was talking about my daughter. 她以為我在談論她女兒，而事實上，我在談論我的女兒。
如果表示從句的動作在主句的動作“之前”或“之后”發生時，多用when（=after）, 不用as或 while。此外，when還含有“at that moment”的意思（= and then），引起的句子不能放在句首，也不能用as, while來替換。例如：
He was about to leave when the telephone rang. 他正要離開，忽然電話鈴響了。
We were watching TV when suddenly the lights went out. 我們正在看電視，突然燈滅了。
They had just arrived home when it began to rain. 他們剛到家，天就開始下雨了。
2．until與till及 not…until / till的用法
（1）until和till都可表示“直到．．．．．．為止”，與持續性動詞的肯定式連用。如：
He waited until / till we finished our meal.他一直等到我們吃完飯。
（2）當until和till表示“直到．．．．．．才．．．．．．”時，通常與短暫動詞的否定式連用，這時，until和till也可用before代替。如：
I didn’t leave until / till / before she came back.直到她回來，我才離開的。
(3) be動詞的肯定式和否定式都可以和until或till連用。
(4) until引導的從句可以放在主句之前或主句之后，但till從句一般不放在句首。如：
Until he told me, I knew nothing about it. 他告訴我了我才知道。
當not until位于句首時，主句中的主語、謂語要使用倒裝語序：
Not until she came back did I leave.
在強調句型中一般用until，不用till。如：
It was not until she took off her dark glasses that I realized she was a famous film star.
( It is /was … that…是常見的強調句型結構 )直到這位大明星摘下墨鏡，我才認出她。
3．有時，the time（當……的時刻）, the moment（當……的時刻）, by the time（到……
時候為止）, next time(下次), the first time(第一次……的時候), the last time(上次……的 時候)，immediately（一……就……）, instantly（一……就……）, directly（一……就……）等詞或詞組以及hardly /scarcely…when…（剛……就……）, no sooner…than…（剛…… 就……）等關聯詞也可引導表示時間的狀語從句。例如：
Be sure to call on us next time you come to town. 下次你進城一定來看我們。
By the time he was fourteen, Einstein had learned advanced mathematics all by himself. (by意為“到．．．．．．為止”，引起的從句中為一般過去時，主句中用過去完成時)
愛因斯坦到十四歲時就自學完了高等數學。
She rushed into the room immediately / the moment she heard the noise.
她一聽到這聲音，就沖進房間。
He left me a good impression the first time I met him.
我第一次見他時，他給我留下了好印象。
He had no sooner arrived there than he fell ill.他剛到達那里就生起病來。
He had hardly finished when someone rose to refute his points.
他還沒全說完，就有人起來反駁他的論點。
She had scarcely fallen asleep when a knock at the door awakened her.
她剛要睡著，忽然敲門的聲音把她驚醒。
當hardly, scarcely, no sooner位于引起的句子的開頭時，常用倒裝語序。上面的例句可以依次改寫成：
No sooner had he arrived there than he fell ill.
Hardly had he finished when someone rose to refute his points.
Scarcely had she fallen asleep when a knock at the door awakened her.
值得一提的是，這三組關聯詞引起的句子中，前面常用過去完成時，后面用一般過去時。
4．if和unless的用法
一般情況下，unless相當于if…not，可以互換。如：
I won’t let you in unless you show me your pass = I won’t let you in if you don’t show me your pass. 如果你不出示通行證，我就不讓你進來。
但是，在下列情況下，兩者是有區別的。（1）unless引導真實條件句，if…not可以引導真實條件句或非真實條件句。（2）unless從句中有否定詞時，不能換成if…not結構。（3）如果主句描述的是情感或情緒活動方面的內容，if…not結構不能換成unless。如：I’ll be quite glad if she doesn’t come this evening.(她今晚如果不來我很高興。)（4）unless表示唯一條件，不能用and連接重復使用，if…not則可以。
5．because, since, as, for的區別
（1）在這四個連詞中，because語氣最強，它引導的從句表達的是未知的新信息，也是該主從復合句中的焦點，一般都置于主句之后（也可以放在主句之前，用逗號隔開）。在回答”why”引導的特殊疑問句時，一般只能用because；在強調結構”It is/was …that …”中，也只能用because。此外，在關聯詞“not …but …”結構中，也用because引導的原因狀語從句。例如：
It’s because he helped you that I’m prepared to help him.正是因為他幫助過你，所以我樂意去幫助他。
- Why didn’t you phone me last night?你昨天夜里為什么沒給我打電話？
- Because I didn’t want to disturb you.因為我不想在夜里打擾你。
He decided to give up the chance of going aboard, not because he did not want to but because his wife was ill.他決定放棄出國的機會，不是因為他不想去，而是因為他妻子病了。
（2）since和as語氣不如because強，as的語氣最弱。他們引導的從句大多置于句首，有時放在主句之后（as從句在復合句中的位置更為靈活），表達的往往是已知信息，即所指的原因是人們已知的客觀事實，所以，復合句的重心在主句，不在從句。例如：
Since you have no license, you are not allowed to drive.
因為你沒有駕駛執照，所以不允許你開車。
As he was not well enough, I had to go without him.
由于他身體欠佳，我只好不帶他去了。
（3）for的語氣不及because, since, as強，為并列連詞，引導的分句常放在主句之后，從句前通常用逗號，表示說話者為所做的推斷和預測提供理由，或對前一分句進行補充和解釋。如：
It must have rained last night, for the ground is wet.(for分句表示說話者推斷“昨晚天下雨”的理由。此時，because不能替代for，因為地濕不是造成下雨的直接原因。原句可改為：The ground is wet, for / because it rained last night.)
6.so that, so…that, such…that
so that “以便”、“結果”表目的和結果。注意：在從句中有情態動詞表目的。無情態動詞表結果。
so…that “如此的…以致于”表結果。該結構常見于：
1.so+形／副＋that
2.so+形＋a(an)＋單數名詞＋that
3.so＋many/much＋復數名詞（不可數名詞）+that
such…that “如此的…以致于”表結果。該結構常見于：
1.such＋a(an)＋形＋名詞＋that 2.such＋形＋復數名詞／不可數名詞＋that
7.though, although, as,
though, although在句首表“盡管”兩者都可以用。但句后不能再用but。
下列情況只能用though：
▲ as though (=as if); even if (=even though) ▲ 在句末表示“然而”
as表示“盡管”，從句的表語、狀語等成分要倒裝。
8.whatever, however, wherever, whenever
它們是what, how, where, when的強勢語氣。分別等于：
no matter what, no matter how, no matter where, no matter when
9．有些表示時間、地點、條件、方式或讓步等的狀語從句中，如果謂語含有動詞be，主語又和主句中的主語一致，或者主語是it，常把從句中的主語和謂語的一部分（特別是動詞be）省略掉。例如：
Look out for cars when crossing the street (= when you are crossing …).
過街時當心車輛。
She hurriedly left the room as though /if angry (= as though/if she was /were angry…).
她急匆匆地走出屋去，好象很生氣的樣子。
If possible, I’d like to have two copies if it (= if it is possible,…).
可能的話，我想要兩本。
She advised me not to say anything unless asked (= unless I was asked ).
她勸我別說什么，除非有人要我說。
As a young man, he studied law and became a lawyer(= As/ When he was a young man,…).他年輕時就學了法律，并當了律師。
高考與狀語從句
狀語從句在復合句中作狀語，修飾主句中的謂語動詞、副詞、形容詞或整個句子。根據句子的含義，它可表時間、地點、原因、目的、結果、條件、行為方式、比較、讓步等。狀語從句通常由一個連詞引起，有時由一個起連詞作用的詞組引起。狀語從句是中學的重點語法項目，也是高考常考的語法項目之一。除1996年外，每年至少有一題考查狀語從句，1998年達到了4個, 1999年6個, 2000年普通高等學校春季招生全國統一考試（北京、安徽卷）中2個。命題熱點集中在⑴引導狀語從句的連詞，⑵狀語從句中的時態、語態、語氣，⑶與其它從句、句型結合起來考查。
現將1990～2000高考中考查狀語從句的部分試題進行分類，供同學們研究學習。
