英语句式 just as …… , so…… 嘉中 
just as …… , so …… 是一个较常用的特殊句型，意为 “正如 ……一样，……也……”，用 于表示两个句子意义上肯定的比拟。在这个句型中，just as 引导的是从句，so 是副词，其 后为主句。 先看几个例句： Just as journalists must have a “nose” for a good story, so good press photographers must have an “eye” for news. 正如文字记者必须用 “鼻子” 去嗅好故事一样，摄影记者必须用 “眼睛” 去寻好新闻。 Just as dark clouds cannot long hide the sun, so no lies can cover up the fact. 正如乌云不能长久遮蔽太阳，谎言也掩盖不了事实。 Just as it is important to find the right pulse for a piece of music, so you must find the right rhythm by which to live your life. 正如要为一首音乐找到正确的节拍一样，你也要找到适合自己生活的节拍。 ● 这个句型中的副词 so 有时可以省略。例如： Just as Darwin discovered the law of development of nature, (so) Marx discovered the law of development of human history. 正如达尔文发现了自然发展的规律一样,马克思发现了人类历史发展的规律。 Just as hydraulic machines make use of the properties of liquids, (so) pneumatic machines make use of the properties of gases. 正如液压机械是利用液体的特征, 气动机械也是利用气体的特征。 ● 这个句型中的主句和从句较短时，特别在谚语中，just 可以省去，此时 so 不能省略， 即成： as ……， so ……。主句中还可用倒装结构. 例如： (Just) as the lion is the king of beasts, so the eagle is the king of birds. 正如狮子是百兽之王那样, 鹰也就是百鸟之王。 (Just) as bitter medicine cures sickness, so unpalatable advice benefits conduct. 良药可口利于病，忠言逆耳利于行。 As fire tries gold, so does adversity try virtue. 正如烈火试炼真金，逆境试炼人的美德。 As you sow, so will you reap. 种瓜得瓜，种豆得豆。 ● 这个句型通常是用于两个不同的句子意义上的比拟。有时还可以用于主句与从句是同一 主语，或主句和从句主语谓都相同的句子。 例如： Just as music is a universal language, so it is a mirror of the time. 正像音乐是一种全球性的语言，它也是一面时代的镜子。 Just as new technologies continue to appear in the field of space, so in undersea exploration。 就像航天领域中不断涌现新技术一样, 海底勘探中也不断现出新技术。 ● 还可以在so 后面添加 too, 进一步加强两者的相似性，so too 后面的句可采用倒装语序。 例如： Just as the body needs regular exercise, so too an engine needs to be run at regular intervals. 就像身体需要定期锻炼一样，引擎也需要定期运转。 Just as a mirror is flat, silver and reflective, so too was the water in the lake shining and still. 就像镜子是扁平的、银色的、反光的一样，湖里的水也是闪闪发光的、静止的。 Just as snow falling in a river melts away almost immediately, so too is pleasure is a very temporary thing. 就像落在河里的雪很快就会融化一样，快乐也是一件非常短暂的事情。 |
