1,只有When能作疑问词(何时?):When will they come?Do you know when they're coming(非进行式)? 2,When有时等于If:Nobody can make a dress, when(if)they haven't learned how。(如果没学过怎样缝纫的话,谁也不会做衣服) 3,When有时等于Since:I can't tell you anything when(since) you won't listen. (既然你都不想听,我就什么也不说了) 4,When有时等于Although:She stopped trying when she might have succeeded next time. (她停止了努力尝试,虽然再试一次就有可能成功) 5,When有时等于and then:They arrived at 6, when we all have dinner.(他们6点钟到的,然后我们一起吃“晚”饭) 6,While:当。。。的时候,请见下列与When的区别。 7,While:等于although(虽然):While I'm willing to go, I'd like it better if you went.(虽然我愿意去,但你去会更好些) 8,While:而/却:He likes coffee, while she likes tea.(他喜欢咖啡,而她却喜欢茶) * When和While只有一个含义容易混淆:当/在。。。的时候。 (1)When强调的是某个短暂的时间点,这个点上的动作有短暂和不延续的特点。 At the time when we met, he was living in Rome. (我们相遇之时,他正住在罗马)相遇不需要时间,也不需要延续,当时只要目光对视即为相遇。 (2)While强调的是某个时间段的过程,在这段时间内的动作相对有一定的延续性。 Please don't talk while you're eating.(吃饭时请不要谈话)这个吃饭的过程,不是一蹴而就的,而是需要时间的延续性。
