英语写作九阳神功第5层:用好高级连词,升级状语从句
以上两篇文章讲了引导时间状语从句的20个连词(1234,1234),以及引导其余8种状语从句的16组连词(16=8X2),今天再做补充,把其余8种的口诀拓展为(3X8=24),如下图所示,红色部分为新增连词。
接下来,让我们结合例句,理解这些连词的含义和用法。
1.地点:everywhere/ anywhere
还记得上节课中的“有志者,事竟成”和“无风不起浪”用where和wherever怎么翻译吗?
Everywhere he appeared, there was warm welcome.
在他出现的每一处地方/任何地方,都有热烈地欢迎。
2.方式:like/the way
在电视剧《我是金三顺》中,出现过这样一段话。
Work like you don't need the money,
Love like you've never been hurt,
Dance like nobody's watching,
Sing like nobody's listening,
Live like it's heaven on Earth.
工作吧,就像你不需要金钱一样;
去爱吧,就像你不曾受过伤一样;
跳舞吧,就像没有人注视你一样;
唱歌吧,就像没有人在聆听一样;
生活吧,就像在人间天堂里一样.
《论语》中的“己所不欲,勿施于人”大家都耳熟能详,翻译成英语是什么呢?
Treat others the way you want to be treated. (以你想被对待的方式去对待他人)
3.比较:the more…the more/no more than

这句话并不是说他不如他哥哥聪明。而是说他比他哥哥聪明不了多少。听这语气就知道真正含义啦——He is as stupid as his brother. 他和他哥哥一样蠢。
4.让步:5W1H ever=No matter 5W1H
5W1H是什么呢?看看下面这句动人的情话就懂啦!
Whichever way you choose,
