老师你好,as soon as 表示“1、..就...”引导时间状语从句,假如从句表示以后发生的动作,则用通常目前时,而主句用通常以后时。即,主将从现。我遇见一句话,是如此写的:
As soon as he opens the gate from the outside, he comes into the garden and waits until the gate shuts.
这句说中,从句用的通常目前时,而主句并没用通常以后时,是为何呢?
难道说 as soon as 引导的从句用通常目前时也并不是肯定是表示以后吗?
盼复,感谢!
时间状语从句用通常目前时的时候,主句的时态依据不一样的需要和语境可以有多种可能:
1. 主句用通常以后时。如:
I’ll tell him as soon as I see him. 我一见到他就告诉他。
We’ll go just as soon as this weather lets up. 天气一好转,大家就出发。
We shall let you know as soon as there’s any news. 一有消息,大家就对你说。
2. 主句用通常目前时。如:
I pay my money into the bank as soon as I get paid. 一发薪资我就把钱存入银行。
3. 主句含有情态动词。如:
You must ask him to call me as soon as he comes in. 他一来你就需要让他给我打电话。
4. 主句为祈使句。如:
Don’t forget to cable us as soon as you arrive. 别忘了一到就给大家打个电报。
