文法(grammar)與句型(sentence patterns)

十、連接詞 (Conjunctions)

3)  An expert will speak in the auditorium；furthermore, he will answer your

questions after the lecture.

(一位專家將在禮堂演講；而且講完後會回答你們的問題。)

  furthermore 是連接性的副詞，  在句子中其用法為：

a. 句子 +…；~, + 句子    b.  句子…‧ F~, + 句子

  It was too expensive.  Moreover (Furthermore; Besides), I didn’t have enough money

with me.  它太貴了；而且我帶的錢不。

4)     As the months went by, the Smiths grew accustomed to their new home.

(隨著幾個月過去，史蜜斯家人漸漸習慣他們新家的一切。)      

 when 是一個從屬連接詞 (subordinating Conjunction) 引導一個副詞子句表示某種

動作的時間；另例：                     

 Children become more experienced in handling their private affairs as they grow up.                          

隨著成長，孩子們對於處理自己的私事變得更有經驗 。  (as 如同 when , 但它表示

前後兩個動作幾乎同時發生。)

 比較： When in Rome, do as the Romans do.   入境隨俗。

 = When (you are) in Rome, do (in the same way) as the Romans do.

** 比較：while ：

 a.  強調 “趁….” Strike iron while it is hot.  打鐵趁熱—喻「保握機會

Make hay ~ the sun shines  趁有太陽時曬乾草—喻「保握機會」。Save her while

there is yet time. 趁還有時間，趕快救她。

 b. = whereas 強調﹝對照﹞的動作

Children were doing their homework ~ the mother was mending socks. 孩子們做家課

而母親正在補襪子。

The man with a gracious heart sympathizes with the poor, ~those greedy and stingy

persons keep away from them.

慈善者同情窮人，而貪婪與吝嗇者遠離他們。

c = as long as  只要

W~ there is life, there is hope. 留得青山在不怕沒柴燒； ( 只要有生命就有希望。)

比較：as (so) long as = on condition that = provided that

 

Niccolo Machiavelli wrote in 1513,”It’s good to appear to be pious, faithful, human,

honest and religious as long as one keeps in mind that when the need arises, you can

and will change into the opposite.”

名政治思想家馬奇威立在1513年寫道：「當然表面上 (對上司) 裝著虔誠、忠心、

有人性、誠實、與具宗教熱心是好的，只要牢記-必要時你能夠也會見勢逆轉。」

                                   

d. = although  雖然

W~ I admit that the problems are difficult, I don’t agree that they cannot be solved.

雖然我承認這些問題困難，但我不同意他們無法解決。
