　　下面是七考網(wǎng)小編為同學(xué)們歸納了While的用法，希望大家可以學(xué)以致用!

　　while的用法可從下述幾點理解與運用：

　　一、while意為“當(dāng)……時候”,指一段時間,不能用來表示一個時間點。

　　While the discussion was still going on, George came in. 當(dāng)討論還在進行時,喬治走了進來。

　　二、while意為“而;然而”,表示轉(zhuǎn)折。

　　There're plenty of rain in the southeast, while there's little in the northeast. 東南部雨量充足,而西北部則很少下雨。

　　三、while意為“雖然;盡管”,表示讓步。

　　While I admit his good points, I can see his shortcomings. 盡管我承認他的優(yōu)點,但我還是能看到他的缺點。

　　四、while意為“只要”,表示條件。

　　We can surely overcome these difficulties while we are closely united. 只要我們緊密地團結(jié)一致,一定能克服這些困難。

　　五、while從句中的省略。

　　當(dāng)while從句中的主語與主句的主語一致,且含有be的某種形式時,從句中的主語連同be可同時省略。

　　While listening to the radio, she fell asleep. 她在聽收音機時睡著了。

　　While in London, he studied music and painting. 在倫敦時,他學(xué)習(xí)音樂和繪畫。

　　六、while可用作名詞,意為“一會兒;一段時間”。

　　作名詞用時,主要用于短語中: after a while “過了一會兒”; all the while “一直,始終”; a short / little while ago “剛才”; once in a while “偶爾,間或”; wait / rest(for) a while “等 / 休息一會兒”。

　　I haven't seen her for a long while.我好久沒有看見她了。

　　Where have you been all this while?這一陣子你到哪去了?

　　He usually goes to work by bike, but once in a while he goes by bus. 他通常騎自行車上班,但偶爾也乘公共汽車。

　　I looked everywhere for the letter, but it was in my pocket all the while. 我到處找那封信,卻不知它一直在我口袋里。

　　七、while與when以及as之間的區(qū)別。

　　1. 當(dāng)從句中的謂語動詞是持續(xù)性的動作時,我們可以用while, when或as。

　　While / When / As I was walking down the street, I noticed a police car in front of the bank.我順著馬路往前走時,發(fā)現(xiàn)銀行門前停著一輛警車。

　　2. 當(dāng)從句中的謂語動詞表示瞬間動作時,不可用while。

　　He was on the point of leaving when someone knocked at the door. 他正要走,這時有人敲門。

　　3. 如果談?wù)搩蓚€長動作,最常用的是while。

　　While John was sitting biting his nails, I was working out a plan to get us home. 約翰坐在那里咬指甲時,我想出了一個回家的辦法。

　　不過, as是可以用來說明兩種正在發(fā)展或變化的情況的,這時as引導(dǎo)一個持續(xù)性的動作,主句中的動作與之同時進行。

　　As we talked on, he got more and more excited. 我們繼續(xù)往下談的時候,他越來越興奮。

　　4. 如果表示兩個短動作或事件同時發(fā)生,最常用的是as或just as,也可用when。

　　Just as he caught the ball, there was a tearing sound. 當(dāng)他抓住球的時候,有一種撕裂的聲音。

　　I thought of it just when you opened your mouth. 就在你要說話的時候,我也想到了。
