【點(diǎn)撥】while連詞,意為"盡管;雖然";其用法大致有以下四種用法:1.引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語從句,意為"當(dāng)……的時(shí)候;和……同時(shí)",此時(shí)的主從句謂語動(dòng)作同時(shí)發(fā)生,從句謂語通常是延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞。
e.g. mary watched tv while she ate her supper.
瑪麗邊吃飯邊看電視。while she was listening to the radio, she fell asleep.
她聽著收音機(jī)睡著了。
while引導(dǎo)從句時(shí),如主從句的主語一致,且從句謂語又含有be,則從句主語和be可省略。while后可直接跟現(xiàn)在分詞、名詞、形容詞或介詞短語。
e.g. we are teachers while (we are) serving as students.
我們邊當(dāng)老師邊當(dāng)學(xué)生。while (he was) yet a youth, he gained many prizes.
他年輕時(shí)就曾多次獲獎(jiǎng)。he caught a cold while(he was) on vacation.

2.表示對比或轉(zhuǎn)折,意為"而;然而"。此時(shí),while一般位于句中。
e.g. some people waste food while others haven't enough.
有些人浪費(fèi)糧食,然而有些人卻吃不飽。you like sports, while i prefer music.
你喜歡體育,而我更喜歡音樂。
3.表示讓步,通常位于句首,意為"盡管;雖然"。
e.g. while i agree with your reasons, i can't allow it.
盡管我同意你的理由,但我不能允許這樣做。while he loves his students, he is very strict with them.
