| 释义 | 1． while 与 when 的区别。 1) while 一般不用来指 “一个时间节点”。 一般不说 While someone called，you were away to the mar- ket. 某人 “打电话来”是 “瞬间的事”，因此不可用 while someone called。 2) 可以说: Someone called while you were a- way to the market. ( “你去逛市场”会有一段较长的时间，可以用 while) 2． while 与 although 的区别。 1) while 比 although 正式。 2) while 引导的从句较多表示肯定的意思，其主句常表示与其相反的意思: While I understand your political position，I can't accept your view. ( while 引导的从句表示肯定的“理解”，主句却说“不能接受你的观点”的反面意思) 3． 用 while 表示“消磨时间”可以说: I whiled away my time by reading a novel. I whiles away the time by reading a novel. I whiled away the hours by reading a novel. I whiled away the hours of waiting by reading a novel. I whiled a few hours away by reading a novel. I whiled the hours away by reading a novel. I whiled the time away by reading a novel.
