二、詞義辨析:
though,although,as
這些連詞均可表示“雖然,儘管”之意。though和although在意義上幾乎毫無區別,但文體上後者是較正式用詞,語氣比though強。此外,在習慣用法上這兩個詞仍有以下一些差異:gh可引出倒裝語序的讓步狀語從句,although 則不能。gh可與even連用,although則不能;在as though結構中,只用though,不能用although。gh可以置於從句末,而although則不能。4.引出省略句時,通常用though。as引出讓步狀語從句只用於倒裝語序結構中,語氣強於上述兩個連詞。
三、詞義辨析:
as,because,for,since
這些連詞均含有“因爲”之意。as從屬連詞,語意較because,since弱,着重在主句,所表示的原因或理由是“附帶的”。because從屬連詞,語意強,着重直接的原因或理由,所引出的從句是全句的重心,用以回答why提出的問題。for並列連詞,語氣較弱,所引出的句子一般放在後面,表示附帶說明的理由或推斷理由。since語意比because弱,但比as強,一般用於表示“由於大家已知的事實”。
四、詞義辨析:
when,while,as
這些連詞均可表示“當……時”引出時間從句。when所引導的從句,其謂語動詞既可是持續動詞,也可是短暫動詞;謂語動詞動作發生的時間可以與主句謂語動詞的動作是同時,或之前、之後。 while句中的謂語動詞應爲持續動詞,不用短暫動詞,謂語動作發生的時間通常與主句謂語動詞動作發生時間是同時。as側重指從句與主句的動作同時進行,謂語動詞可以是持續性的,可以是短暫性動詞。
