3. as...as... 與比較級的用法

(1) ...as + 形容詞(副詞)原級 + as...；not as / so + 形容詞 (副詞) 原級 + as... I study as hard as you. 我學(xué)習(xí)和你一樣努力。He doesn't get up as / so early as his parents.他起床沒有他父母親早。

(2)……倍數(shù) + as + 形容詞(副詞)原級 + as... Line AB is 3 times as long as Line CD. = Line AB is twice longer than / 3 times the length of Line CD. 線段AB是線段CD的三倍長。

(3) as + 形容詞 + a / an + 單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞 + as；as + 形容詞 + 復(fù)數(shù)名詞 + as I haven't got as much money as I thought. 我的錢沒有我想像的那么多。

(4) as much / many as 多達(dá)……，……那么多This factory produces as much as 100 tons of steel a day. 這家工廠每天產(chǎn)鐵 100 噸。As many as 700 different languages are spoken in Africa. 在非洲人們所說的語言多達(dá)700多種。

2. “……就……”英語表達(dá)法

(1) as soon as 歸納：

as soon as 引出的時間狀語從句既可以放在主句之前，也可放在主句之后，表示它所指的動作發(fā)生在另一分句所指的動作之前。

as soon as 可以與動詞的一般現(xiàn)在時，一般過去時或完成時態(tài)連用，主句的動詞使用相應(yīng)的動詞現(xiàn)在時，過去時或?qū)�來時。He started as soon as he received the news.

他一得到消息就出發(fā)了。As soon as he had got into the car, I said "good morning" to him in French and he replied in the same language. 他一上車，我就用法語向他道了聲早安，他也用法語作了回答。

(2) hardly / scarcely / barely...when / before...no sooner... than...歸納：

注意搭配關(guān)系：hardly / scarcely / barely和no sooner不可以放在when / before和than之后。hardly / scarcely / barely和no sooner否定詞位于句首時，句中的主語和謂語必須部分倒裝。hardly / scarcely / barely和no sooner引導(dǎo)的是主句，表示它的動作發(fā)生在從句之前，故常用過去完成時；而when / before和than引導(dǎo)的從句只能與一般過去時連用。該句型含驚奇之意。Mrs Winthrop had no sooner left the room than they began to gossip about her.溫思羅太太剛離開房間，他們就議論起她來了。Scarcely / Hardly / Barely had he begun to speak when I sensed that he was in trouble. 他剛一開口，我就感到他遇到麻煩事了。No sooner had we set out than a thunderstorm broke.我們一動身就遇上了大雷雨。

(3) the moment / the instant 歸納：名詞短語the moment / instant / minute / second 和副詞immediately / directly 可以用做連詞，相當(dāng)于as soon as，引導(dǎo)的是時間狀語從句；從句既可放在句首，也可放在句中。 The moment I saw him, I knew that there was no hope. 一見到他，我就知道沒希望了。The instant you leave this tent, you will get a big surprise. 你一出帳篷，便會大吃一驚。We will leave the minute you're ready. 你一準(zhǔn)備好，我們就走。She returned immediately she heard the bad news. 她一聽到這個壞消息，就返了回來。I left directly the clock struck twelve. 鐘一敲十二點我就離開了。

(4) on + 動名詞 (或表示動作的名詞)歸納：動名詞(或名詞)結(jié)構(gòu)表示它所表達(dá)的動作剛一發(fā)生或完成，句子謂語所表示的動作就接著發(fā)生。它相當(dāng)于as soon as 引導(dǎo)的時間狀語從句。On arriving in England, they were taken to the Crystal Palace by train. 他們一到英國便乘火車去水晶宮。He was greeted by the Prime Minister on his arrival at the airport. 他一到機場，便受到總理的歡迎。　　

另外，each time，every time 如同上面四種類型一樣，可直接用作從屬連詞，引導(dǎo)狀語從句。Every time I listen to his advice, I get into trouble. 我每次聽了他的勸告，都會遇到麻煩。I'll think of my hometown each time I listen to that song. 我每次聽這首歌，都會想起家鄉(xiāng)。

1. Next to him lay a cushion, upon which the man could work metal.

本句前半句為倒裝句。正常的語序為A cushion lay next to him，倒裝的目的是為了強調(diào)地點狀語。In front of my house stands a tall tree which can be seen from far away. / At the foot of the hill lies a large lake．

5. They were lost at sea, ____ the mercy of winds and waves.

A. in　　 B. on　　　 C. at　　 D. under
