核心考點Soon, No sooner... than 和 As soon as 的用法

一、副詞 soon 作“久”、“早”講

1。We shall soon know the result。 我們不久(即將)知道結果。

【注】有時soon和fast譯成漢語時都表示“快”,但前者指時間的遲早中的早,後者指動作快慢中的快。例如:

2。You will soon go to the factory。 你們很快要下廠了。(指時間的早)

3。Speak to me as fast as you can。 你對我說話能多快就多快。(指說話速度的快)

二、“No sooner。。。Than”一般用於敘述過去事情,表示“一······就······”的意思。如果表示否定的短語 no sooner 位於句首,那麼後面主語、謂語就顛倒

No sooner had the words been spoken than he realized that he should have remained silent。話一出口,他便意識到他本該保持沉默。

【注】than後面的狀語從句,常用過去時。主句動作一般發生在從句之前,只是否定式而已,故用過去完成時。

三、“as soon as”引導的是時間從句,作“一······就······”講

1。As soon as ı saw him, I told him what we needed。 我一見他,就告訴了他,我們需要什麼。

2。 I will let you fly to Shanghai as soon as we complete the work。 我們把這項工作一做完,我就讓你飛往上海。

【注1】主句的動作是在時間狀語從句的動作之後發生的,但主句和從句常用一般過去時。上面第2句由於用來敘述將來的動作,故主句用將來時,而時間狀語從句像往常一樣,只能用現在時代替實際上的將來時。由於從句動作畢竟是在主句動作之前發生,偶爾也有使用過去完成時的情況。例如:

As soon as she discovered her errors, she made the necessary corrections to her data。 (那時)她一發現有錯,就對自己的資料作必要的修改。

四、注意都表示“一······就······”的幾個同義句的表示式

She sent an E-mail as soon as she received a letter from you。 她一收到你的來信就發了一封電子郵件。

同義的句子如下:

She had no sooner received a letter from you than she sent an Email。=She had scarcely (或 hardly) received a letter from you when (或 before) she sent an Email。

五、注意“主語+would(或had)+as soon+……+as+被棄事物或動作”這種句型,它表示“寧願······而不······”之意

He would (或 had) as soon you took a glass of tea as a glass of milk。 他希望你與其喝一杯牛奶,還不如喝一杯茶。

【注】這裡用 would 或 had 表示虛擬語氣。
