一、地点状语从句
1.引导地点状语从句的从属连词where, wherever指具体地点时,从句可用于主句之前或之后;表示抽象条件的含义时,从句须放在主句之前。
I have a simple philosophy: Fill what s empty. Empty what s full. Scratch(挠) where it itches.
我有一个简单的哲学:空即添满,满即清空,哪儿痒痒挠哪儿。
注:一切随缘的哲学。
Where there\s a will there\s a way, but what if your name is Will?
有志者事竟成,但如果你就叫WILL呢?
注:如果他叫Will,那他就路路通,什么事儿也难不倒他。这是根据俗语延伸出的好玩儿的思维,下面的句子也是这个俗语的好玩儿延伸:
Where there\s a will, there\s an Inheritance(遗产) Tax.
哪里有遗嘱,哪里就有遗产税。
注:遗嘱留下了遗产,要交遗产税。通常说Where s a will, there s a way.有志者,事竟成。
2.区分where引导的定语从句与状语从句:
You d better make a mark where you have any questions.(状语从句)
You d better make a mark at the place where you have any questions.(定语从句)12下一页
二、原因状语从句
1.引导原因状语从句的从属连词有:because, as, since, now that, seeing that, considering that,每个连词的含义不尽相同。(because用得最多)
Doctor: Your pulse is as steady as a clock.
Patient: Because you have your hand on my wristwatch.
医生:你的脉搏象钟表一样稳。
病人:因为你把手放在了我的手表上。
