连词while考点知识归纳

 

while是大家比较熟悉的一个词,但是许多人对它的了解是不全面的,你可能只知道它表示“当……的时候”,甚至可能还知道它与when, as的用法区别。但是,非常遗憾,你所知道的这些东西都是有关while用法的“基础知识”,却不是一般英语考试的“考点知识”。请看下面两道考题:

1. _________ the Internet is of great help, I don’t think it’s a good idea to spend too much time on it.

A. If     B. While     C. Because D. As

2. In some places women are expected to earn money _________ men work at home and raise their children.

A. but     B. while       C. because   D. though

这两道题的答案均为B,即均选while。你知道这是为什么吗?下面我们就来归纳一下连词while的“考点知识”。

考点知识一:表示让步,意为“尽管”“虽然”。如:

While the work was difficult, it was interesting. 虽然工作有难度,但很有趣。

While we don’t agree we continue to be friends. 尽管我们意见不同,我们还是朋友。

While he admitted that he had received the stolen jewellery, he denied having taken part in the robbery. 尽管他承认他收受了盗窃的珠宝,但他否认参与了抢劫案。

While I did well in class, I was a poor performer at games. 虽说我学习不错,我运动却不行。

While a few became richer, many did not. 虽然一些人变得更富有了,但多数人并非如此。

考点知识二:表示对比或转折,意为“而”“但是”。如:

I went swimming while the others played tennis. 我去游泳,而其余的人则去打网球了。

Air is a fluid but not a liquid, while water is both a fluid and a liquid. 空气是流体不是液体,水是流体也是液体。

Some people waste food while others haven’t enough. 一些人糟踏食物而另一些人却食不果腹。

注:这样用时,while引出的句子通常位于末,但有时也可位于句首。如:

While most children learn to read easily, some need extra help. 大多数儿童学会阅读很容易,有一些儿童却需要特别帮助。

While some languages have 30 or more different vowel sounds, others have five or less. 有些语言有30个或更多的元音,而其他语言只有5个或更少的元音。

现在我们回过头来分析一下上面的两道题:第1题中的while表示让步,全句意为:虽然因特网很有帮助,但我还是认为在其上花太多的时间不是个好主意。第2题中的while表示对比,全句意为:有些地方妇女挣钱,而男子则在家里持家和带孩子。
