基礎篇——第十二章 副詞性從句——狀語從句

本章概述

狀語從句是三大從句中結構最簡單的一個,它由一個有意義的、表達一定邏輯關係的從屬連詞+完整的簡單句構成。

學習狀語從句的重點是認識各個連接詞,達到會認、會用的程度,不必糾結它屬於八大類或者九大類狀語從句的哪一種,所以其更接近辭彙範疇而非語法範疇。但達到會認、會用各連接詞也絕非一件容易之事,狀語從句的連詞多且雜,需要長時間的積累和消化。

補充:

1.如何區分從屬連詞與並連詞?

採用排除法,記住數量不多的並列連詞和連接副詞,剩下的全是從屬連詞。

2.為什麼不提倡背誦從屬連詞屬於哪一類?

首先,說話人或者作者在表達的時候首先想到的是從屬連詞的詞義,而不是分類。

其次,有些連詞很難界定屬於哪一類,例如in case。

Listen out in case he calls.

注意聽著萬一他打電話來。

In case you get home before I

do, could you start preparing dinner?

如果你在我之前到家,你能不能動手做飯?

Good morning, and in case I dont

see you, good afternoon, good evening, and good night.

早安,並且以防不測見不到您,也祝您下午好,晚上好。

有的語法書上說in case有三種用法:表目的,如例1;表條件,如例2;表假設,如例3;其實本質上in case只有一種用法,即 「發生某種情況」,具體含義由句子情境決定。

狀語從句欣賞

A man is not old as long as he

is seeking something. A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams.

只要一個人還有所追求,他就沒有老。直到後悔取代了夢想,一個人才算老。

pain.
