“一……就……”的表达法是各种测试经常要考查的。因此,应将中学课本中学到的常见表达方法总结出来,供大家参考。
1. 在一个主从复合句中用as soon as 引导时间状语从句。若主句中用一般将来时,则从句中须用一般现在时表示将来时间。若主句中用一般过去时,则从句中须用一般过去时表示过去将来时间。例如:
(1)I will give the book to him as soon as I finish reading it.
(2)The baby stopped crying as soon as it saw its mother.
2. 用关联连词“hardly…when”串联主从复合句。若when前面的分句中用过去完成时,则when后面的分句中用一般过去时。若将hardly放在句首,则应将when前面分句中的主语、谓语部分倒装。例如:
(1)I had hardly arrived home when the telephone rang. (我一到家,电话铃就响了。)
若将hardly放在句首,则上句可以转换成:
Hardly had I arrived home when the telephone rang.
3. 用关联连词“no sooner…than”串联主从复合句。若than前面分句中用过去完成时,则than后面分句中用一般过去时。若将no sooner放在句首,则应将than前面分句中的主语、谓语部分倒装。例如:
The rain had no sooner stopped than he set off. (雨一停,他就出发了。)
若将no sooner提至句首,则上句可转换成:
No sooner had the rain stopped than he set off.
4. 用“on / upon +名词或动词-ing形式”。这种结构,相当于一个用as soon as 引导的时间状语从句,强调一个动作一发生,另一个动作随即发生。例如:
(1)On reading the letter (= As soon as he read the letter), he found that a servant of his family in France had been put in prison, though no fault of his own.
(他一看信就知道法国他家中的一个仆人被无辜地关进了监狱。)
(2)However, on his arrival in Paris = (on arriving in Paris), he was recognized as a noble and thrown into prison. (然而,他一到巴黎就被人认出是个贵族而关进了监狱。)
(3)The woman cried out on / upon hearing the strange whistle. (那妇女一听到那奇怪的口哨声便大叫起来。)
5. 在主从复合句中用the moment that引导时间状语从句。这种名词短语起从属连词的作用,相当于as soon as,其中that常被省略掉。例如:
I started off the moment I received your letter.
(我一收到你的信就动身了。)
6. the minute(that)也可以在主从复合句中起从属连词的作用,相当于as soon as,用来引导时间状语从句。例如:
He recognized her the minute(that)he saw her.
(他一看见她就把她认出来了。)
7. the instant(that)也可以在主从复合句中起从属连词的作用,相当于as soon as,用来引导时间状语从句。例如:
The girl began to sing the instant (that)she heard the accompanying music.
(这个女孩一听到伴奏的音乐声就开始跳起舞来。)
8. immediately本身虽是副词,却可以在主从复合句中起从属连词的作用,相当于as soon as,用来引导时间状语从句。例如:
The young lady rushed into the room immediately she heard the noise.
(那位年轻女士一听有响声就冲进房间里去。)
9. instantly本身虽是副词,却可以在主从复合句中起从属连词作用,引导时间状语从句。例如:
Tell me instantly he arrives. (他一到就告诉我。)
10. directly本身虽是副词,却能起从属连词作用,相当于as soon as ,用来引导时间状语从句。例如:
(1)He gets up directly the bell rings. (铃一响他就起来了。)
(2)I went home directly I had finished work. (我一干完活就回家了。)
