We all know that there are four asons in a year.However,life in different asons is different.In spring,we can e birds making nests in the trees.In summer,people like swimming in the swimming pool becau it is too hot.In autumn,leaves fall from the trees.In winter,students usually wear thick winter uniforms.I love the four asons becau they can give me different feelings.

as soon as, hardly…when…, no sooner…than…
三者都表示“一……就”,“刚刚……就”的意思,有时可以互换。如:
“我刚到公共汽车站,汽车就开了。”一句,就可以有如下几句译法:
As soon as I got to the bus stop, the bus started.
Hardly had I got to the bus stop when the bus started.
No sooner had I got to the bus stop than the bus started.
但也要注意他们之间的差异:
1.as soon as是普通用法,置于主句前后均可,可以用于各种时态。如:
I’ll write you as soon as I get there.我一到那儿就给你来信。(一般现在时)
As soon as I went in, Katherine cried out with pleasure.
我一进门,凯斯琳就高兴的叫起来。(一般过去时)
I’ll return the book as soon as I have read it.我一读完就把书还回去。(现在完成时)
Andrew left as soon as he had drunk his coffee.安主一喝完咖啡就走了。(过去完成时)
注意:as soon as从句谓语要用一般现在时表将来发生的事。如:
He will ring you as soon as he gets there.他一到那儿就会给你打电话。
1. 使用hardly…when时,主句中的动词若是行为动词则必须用过去完成时,when有时可改用before。
如:He had hardly finished the article when the light went out.他刚写完文,灯就熄了。
若把hardly放于句首,主句要倒装。如:
Hardly had I finished eating when he came in.我刚吃完他就进来了。
3.no sooner…than表示“刚……就……”时主句须用倒装形式。如:
No sooner had he arrived than he went away again.他刚到就又走了。
注意:hardly…when,no sooner…than不能表将来的事。
hardly/scarcely…when/before, no sooner…than 和as soon as都可以表示"一…就…"的意思,例:
I had hardly / scarcely got home when it began to rain.
I had no sooner got home than it began to rain.
As soon as I got home, it began to rain.
注意:如果hardly, scarcely 或no sooner置于句首,句子必须用倒装结构:
Hardly / Scarcely had I got home when it began to rain.
No sooner had I got home than it began to rain.
