[文法與詞彙Q&A]
Q: as, when, while 之間有何差別?
Answer in English: http://www.perfectyourenglish.com/usage/as-when-while.htm
Answer in Chinese:
三者可表示“當……時候”,區別如下:
(1) 若主句表示的是一個短暫性動作,從句表示的是一個持續性動作,三者都可用:He fell asleep when [while, as] he was reading. 他看書時睡著了。
【注1】as 用於引出一個持續性動詞表示“在……期間”時,其謂語通常只能是那些含有動作(action)和發展(development) 意味的動詞,一般不能是那些不用於進行時態的動詞(如 be, seem, love, want, agree, see, know, have 等),所以下面一句中的 while 不能換為 as:
A:I’m going to the post office. 我要去郵局。
B:While you’re there, can you get me some stamps? 當你在郵局時,能幫我買幾張郵票嗎?
【注2】as 常用於接「較不重要的訊息」,且其所接的子句,也較常放在「句首」的位置。但何謂「較不重要的訊息」,並未有公認的標準,例:
-As I was writing my homework in the classroom, George was eating his breakfast. 當我在教室裡寫功課的時候,George 正在吃他的早餐。
---------------------------------------------
(2) 若主、從句表示兩個同時進行的持續性動作,且強調主句表示的動作延續到從句所指的整個時間,通常要用 while:
-Don’t talk while you’re eating. 吃飯時不要說話。
-I kept silent while he was writing. 在他寫的時候,我默不作聲。
【注1】但是,若主從句表示的兩個同時進行的動作含有“一邊…一邊”之意思,通常用 as:She sang as she went along. 她邊走邊唱。
---------------------------------------------
(3) 若從句是一個短暫性動作,主句是一個持續性動作,可用 as / when 但不用 while:
-It was raining hard when [as] we arrived. 我們到達時正下著大雨。
---------------------------------------------
(4) 若主從句表示的是兩個同時(或幾乎同時)發生的短暫性動作,用 as / when:
-I thought of it just when [as] you opened your mouth. 就在你要說的時候,我也想到了。
To talk about two short actions or situations that happen/happened at the same time, we usually use as. When is also possible.
---------------------------------------------
(5) 若要表示兩個正在發展變化的情況,相當於漢語的“隨著”,一般用 as:
-Things are getting better and better as time goes on. 隨著時間的推移,情況越來越好。
-As it grew darker, it became colder. 天色越晚,天氣越冷。
As is used to refer to two situations which develop or change together. We normally use simple tenses.
---------------------------------------------
(6) 表示“每當…的時候”(暗示一種規律性),一般要用 when:
-It’s cold when it snows. 下雪時天冷。
-He smiles when you praise him. 你誇獎他時他總是笑笑。
---------------------------------------------
(7) 若主從句所表示的動作不是同時發生,而是有先後順序時,一般要用 when:
-I will go home when he comes back. 他回來時,我就回家去。
---------------------------------------------
(8) when 可用作並列連詞,表示“這時(突然)”;while 也可以用作並列連詞,表示“而”、“卻”(表示對比);但 as 則沒有類似用法:
-We were about to start when it began to rain. 我們正要出發,這時天開始下雨了。
-He likes coffee, while she likes tea. 他喜歡咖啡,而她卻喜歡茶。

[!!別太相信字典的翻譯#1: Apparently!!]
在學中文的過程中我發現一個鐵則:字典的可信度最多達到95%。最大的問題是過時的翻譯。
[Apparently]
→ Wrong (old usage):Apparently is defined as knowing something about it just by looking at it. = obviously (明顯的)
→ Correct:It is something that someone said and which the speaker is not fully convinced of. It could be translated as “They say”, or “it is said that”. (聽說,據說,他們說,應該吧,好像、他們是這麼說的)
The word is usually used at the beginning of a sentence (句首) and implies (意味著): the person isn’t sure; the person doesn’t believe it; the person has no evidence either way.
Eg:
(1) Apparently, he ate the cake. (有人說蛋糕是他吃掉的。)
(2) Apparently, he didn’t want the job. (聽說他不要這份工作。)
It is also used as a noncommittal (含糊) answer:
(3) Well… apparently…. (嗯,應該吧,反正大家都這麼說啊。)
It is markedly (非常) different from “It is apparent that…”(顯然的) which does mean that it is obvious.
Eg:
(1) What was apparent was that he was uninterested. (他顯然很沒興趣。)
(2) That was very apparent. (那是再明顯不過的了。)
(If you feel you have learned something from my posting, click “like” and “share” it with your friends.^ ^)
