no sooner…than與 hardly…when
這兩組連詞意義都與 as soon as相近，但都比 as soon as正式。
它們通常都與過去完成時(shí)連用。當(dāng) no sooner和 hardly位于句
首時(shí)，后面的主謂結(jié)構(gòu)都要顛倒順序，即句子變?yōu)?no sooner/hardly+助動(dòng)詞+主語+動(dòng)詞形式的語序：
He had no sooner returned than he bought a house and went to live there.他剛一回來便買下了一幢房子住了進(jìn)去。
No sooner had he returned than he bought a house and went to live there.(譯文同上)
No sooner had he begun speaking than he was interrupted.他剛一開始講話就被打斷了。
He had hardly had time to settle down when he sold the house and left the country.
他還沒等安頓下來就賣掉了房子，離開了這個(gè)國(guó)家。
Hardly had he had time to settle down when he sold the house and left the country.(譯文同上)
Hardly had he got into the bus when it began moving.他剛剛登上那輛公共汽車它就開了。
no sooner…than與 hardly…when 都是固定詞組， than與when不可混用。
country與 countryside
country的意義比較廣，它可以有"國(guó)家"、"祖國(guó)"或"鄉(xiāng)下"等多種含義：
He had planned to settle down in the country.他原計(jì)劃在鄉(xiāng)下定居。
He sold the house and left the country.他賣掉房子，離開了這個(gè)國(guó)家。
country 作"鄉(xiāng)下"講時(shí)，通常與the連用，作"國(guó)家"講時(shí)則不一定：
We are going to spend the weekend in the country.我們打算去鄉(xiāng)下過這個(gè)周末。
Which country do you come from?你來自哪個(gè)國(guó)家?
countryside主要指"農(nóng)村地區(qū)"、"鄉(xiāng)下"：
I grew up in the countryside.我在農(nóng)村長(zhǎng)大。
continuously與 continually
這兩個(gè)副詞都與動(dòng)詞 continue(繼續(xù)，持續(xù))有關(guān)。它們的區(qū)別在于continuously (不斷地，連續(xù)地)指動(dòng)作中間沒有間斷，而continually (頻繁地，反復(fù)地)則指動(dòng)作中間有間斷但又持續(xù)很久：
It rained continually.天總是/頻繁地下雨。(有間斷)
This plane can fly continuously for twenty hours.這架飛機(jī)可以連續(xù)飛行20小時(shí)。(中間沒有間斷)
Why does he come here continually?他為什么老是到這里來?
You mustn't watch TV for such a long time continuously.你不能這么長(zhǎng)時(shí)間連續(xù)地看電視。
