这三个字意义相近,但用法上却容易混淆,尤其在表达两件事或行动同时进行时,到底要用哪个字才对呢?
While 字义是当…的时候,与…同时,用来表示两个行动同时发生的情况,while的后面需要接一个完整的子句,即包含主词+动词的句子,这样才能清楚呈现出正进行中的两个动作。
The phone rang while I was taking a shower..
当我在洗澡时,电话铃响了
I gained a lot of weight while I was on holiday.
当我在度假时,体重增加了
During 的字义是在…期间,用来表示一个行动在另外一个相关事件中持续的一段时间,且因为during 为介系词,后面需要接名词,而不是句子。
I went skiing several times during the winter..
冬天时我去滑雪好几次
I was really bored during the meeting..
开会时我真觉得很无聊
Throughout 的字义为某件事从开始到结束的期间,和during有些类似,但更强调的是从头到尾、自始自终的这段期间。 throughout也是介系词,所以后面也是要接名词,而不是句子。
I was really bored throughout the meeting.
会议上从头到尾我都觉得很无聊
She yawned throughout the performance.
整个演出期间她都一直打哈欠
