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. 我學習和你一樣努力。He doesn't get up as / so early as his parents.他起床沒有他父母親早。

(2)……倍數 + 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 + 單數可數名詞 + as；as + 形容詞 + 復數名詞 + 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……，……那么多This factory produces as much as 100 tons of steel a day. 這家工廠每天產鐵 100 噸。As many as 700 different languages are spoken in Africa. 在非洲人們所說的語言多達700多種。

2. “……就……”英語表達法

(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的動詞現(xiàn)在時，過去時或將來時。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，相當于as soon as，引導的是時間狀語從句；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)結構表示它所表達的動作剛一發(fā)生或完成，句子謂語所表示的動作就接著發(fā)生。它相當于as soon as 引導的時間狀語從句。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
