2) 地点状从:
Where there is a will, there is a way.
在有意志力的地方,就有一条路。=有志者,事竟成。
Wherever there is smoke, there is a fire.
在任何有有烟的地方,一定有一堆火。=无风不起浪。
写作技巧:在写作中,我们可以化用套用句式而不是简单的引用原句。比如在一场地震中,一方有难八方支援,人间有真情人间有大爱。我们可以说:
Where there is love, there is hope.哪里有爱,哪里就有希望。
3) 原因状从
—Why are you late? —Because I missed the early bus.
—你为什么迟到? —因为我没赶上早班车。
Since/Now that everyone is here, let's begin.
既然大家都来了(大家都知道的事实,显而易见的原因),让我们开始吧。
注:表因为的短语,to和of介词后加名词不能连接句子。
3to: thanks to, owning to, due to
3of: because of, as a result of, on account of.
4) 结果状从
I took an umbrella, so that I didn't get wet in the rain.
我带了把伞,因此我没淋到雨。
雨下得如此大以至于(导致……结果)我们不能出去。
It is so heavy a rain that we can't go out.
It is such a heavy rain that we can't go out.
It is raining so heavily that we can't go out.
注:so是副词,可修饰形容词/副词,such是形容词,可修饰名词/名词词组。so/such和that之间有名词时:
可数名词复数和不可数名词,只用such
可数名词单数,so,such都可以语序不同
名词前有表数量多少的形容词时,只用so
口诀:名前such,形副so,多多少少也用so,little属特殊,“小”用such,“少”用so。
例句:They are such little children that they can't do anything.
他们是如此小的孩子以至于他们什么也做不了。
He earns so little money that he can't support his family.
他赚钱如此少以至于不能养家。

注意:as必须倒装,though可倒可不倒,although等不能倒装。
