- 1 - 专题九 状语从句 一、地点状语从句 地点状语从句通常由 where, wherever 引导。 Where there is a will, there is a way. Wherever you go，I'm right here waiting for you. 二、方式状语从句 方式状语从句通常由 as, (just)as...so..., as if, as though 引导。 1．as，(just)as...so...引导的方式状语从句通常位于主句后，但当(just)as...so...结构位于句首时，as 从句带有比喻的含义，意思是“正如；就像”，多用于正式文体。 Always do to the others as you would be done by. As water is to fish, so air is to man. Just as we sweep our rooms, so we should sweep backward ideas from our minds. 2.as if, as though 两者的意义和用法相同，引出的状语从句谓语多用虚拟语气，表示与事实相反；有时也用陈述语气，表示所说情况是事实或实现的可能性较大。译作“仿佛… … 似的；好像… … 似的”。 They completely ignore these facts as if (as though)they never existed. He looks as if ( as though)he had been hit by lighting. It looks as if the weather may pick up very soon. 三、原因状语从句 比较 because, since, as 和 for 的用法： 1．because 语势最强，用来说明人所不知的原因，回答 why提出的问题。当原因是显而易见的或已为人们所知的，就用 as 或 since。 I didn't go, because I was afraid. Since / As the weather is so bad, we have to delay our journey. 2．由 because 引导的从句如果放在句末，且前面有逗号，则可以用 for 来代替。如果不是说明直接原因，而是多种情况加以推断，就只能用 for。 He is absent today, because / for he is ill. He must be ill, for he is absent today. 四、目的状语从句 - 2 - 表示目的状语的从句可以由 so that, in order that, lest, for fear that, in case 等词引导。 You must speak louder so that / in order that you can be heard by all. He wrote the name down for fear that(lest)he should forget it. Better take more clothes in case the weather is cold. 五、结果状语从句 结果状语从句常由so....
