(九)比较状语从句
比较状语从句常用than, so (as) … as, the more … the more等引导。
1. I have made a lot more mistakes than you have.(一般理解,以前翻译考过than before)
2. He smokes cigarettes as expensive as he can afford. (大家自行把握,因为太难,需要语感)
3. The busier he is, the happier he feels. (翻译考过类似的了,完型里大家照顾到这个the more,the more的结构即可,也就是说一个位置出现了比较级,。另一个位置也要有对应的。)
(十)使用状语从句时要注意的几个问题
1. 有些时间、地点、条件、方式或让步从句,如果从句的主语与主句主语一致(或虽不一致,是it),从句的谓语又包含动词be ,就可省略从句中的“主语 + be”部分。
e.g. When (he was) still a boy of ten, he had to work day and night.
If (you are) asked, you may come in.
If (it is) necessary, I’ll explain to you again.
2. 注意区分不同从句:引导的是什么从句,不仅要根据连词,还要根据句子结构和句意来判别。以where为例,能引导多种从句。
e.g. You are to find it where you left it.(地点状语从句)
Tell me the address where he lives.(定语从句,句中有先行词)
I don’t know where he came from.(宾语从句)
Where he has gone is not known yet.(主语从句)
This place is where they once hid.(表语从句)
