1、as soon as, hardlywhen, no soonerthan作者：河工 转贴自：本站原创 点击数：209as soon as, hardlywhen, no soonerthan三者都表示“一就”，“刚刚就”的意思，有时可以互换。如：“我刚到公共汽车站，汽车就开了。”一句，就可以有如下几句译法：As soon as I got to the bus stop, the bus started.Hardly had I got to the bus stop when the bus started.No sooner had I got to the bus stop than
2、the bus started.但也要注意他们之间的差异：1.as soon as 是普通用法，置于主句前后均可，可以用于各种时态。如：Ill write you as soon as I get there.我一到那儿就给你来信。（一般现在时）As soon as I went in, Katherine cried out with pleasure.我一进门，凯斯琳就高兴的叫起来。（一般过去时）Ill return the book as soon as I have read it.我一读完就把书还回去。（现在完成时）Andrew left as soon as he had drun
3、k his coffee.安主一喝完咖啡就走了。（过去完成时）注意：as soon as 从句谓语要用一般现在时表将来发生的事。如：He will ring you as soon as he gets there.他一到那儿就会给你打电话。1. 使用 hardlywhen 时，主句中的动词若是行为动词则必须用过去完成时，when 有时可改用 before。如：He had hardly finished the article when the light went out.他刚写完文，灯就熄了。若把 hardly 放于句首，主句要倒装。如：Hardly had I finished eat
4、ing when he came in.我刚吃完他就进来了。3.no soonerthan 表示“刚就”时主句须用倒装形式。如：No sooner had he arrived than he went away again.他刚到就又走了。注意：hardlywhen，no soonerthan 不能表将来的事。hardly/scarcelywhen/before, no soonerthan 和 as soon as 都可以表示“一就 “的意思，例： I had hardly / scarcely got home when it began to rain.I had no sooner got home than it began to rain.As soon as I got home, it began to rain.注意：如果 hardly, scarcely 或 no sooner 置于句首，句子必须用倒装结构：Hardly / Scarcely had I got home when it began to rain.No sooner had I got home than it began to rain.
