no sooner than的用法
no sooner than是引导时间状语从句,主句用过去完成时,"than"后面的从句用一般过去时。
例句如下:
4、No sooner had he reached the grapevine than--crack!
他刚走到葡萄藤边,啪!
5、No sooner had it touched his tongue than he heard a strange whispering of little voices outside his window.
它刚一碰到他的舌头,他就听到他的窗外有奇怪的低声细语。
no sooner than 和hardly when以及as soon as的区别:
1、从两件事间隔的时间看,as soon as 最长,"A事发生后,就做B事";no sooner...than 次之,"刚做完A事,就做B事";hardly...when最短,"几乎未来得及做完A事,紧接着就做B事"。
2、as soon as较常用,在句中的位置很灵活。意思相当于“A事情发生以后,就做B这件事”。 口语和书面语都可以。特点是,在句子中的位置比较灵活,而且可以用于各种时态。例如:
I’ll 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,Katherine 就高兴的叫起来。(一般过去时)
