as time goes by 和 as time goes on有什么区别

1. “主短从长”型:即主句是一个短暂性的动作,而从句是一个持续性动作,此时三者都可用。如:  Jim hurt his arm while [when, as] he was playing tennis.  吉姆打网球时把手臂扭了。  As [When, While] she was waiting for the train, she became very impatient.  她在等火车时,变得很不耐烦。  注意:as用于引出一个持续性动词表示“在……期间”时,其谓语通常只能是那些含有动作和发展意味的动词,一般不能是那些不用于进行时态的动词,所以下面一句中的while不能换为as:  基核A:I’m going to the post office. 我要去邮局。  B:While you are there, can you get me some stamps?  当你在邮局时,能帮我买几张邮票吗?2. “主长从长”型:即主句和从句为两个同时进行的动作或存在的状态,且强调主句动作或状态延续到从句所指搏庆掘的整个时间,此时通常要用while。如:  I always listen to the radio while I’m driving.  我总是一边开车一边听收音机。  He didn’t ask me in; he kept me standing at the door while he read the message.  他没有让我进去,他只顾看那张条子,让我站在门口等着。  但是,若主句和从句所表示的两个同时进行的动作含有“一边……一边”之意时,则习惯上要用as。如:  He swung his arms as he walked.  他走路时摆动着手臂。  I couldn’t remember a story to tell the children, so I made one up as I went along.  我想不出有什么故事可给孩子讲了,只好现编现讲。3. “主长从短”型:即主句是一个持续性动作,而从句是一个短暂性动作,此时可以用as或when,但不能用while。如:  It was raining hard when [as] we arrived.  我们到达时正下着大雨。  When [As] he came in, I was listening to the radio.  他进来时,我在听收音机。  二、根据主句与从句动作是否同时发生来区分1. 若主句与从句表示的是两个同时发生的短暂性动作,含有类似汉语“一……就”的意思,英语一般要用as 。如:  The ice cracked as [when] I stepped onto it.  我一踩冰就裂了。  He jumped to his feet as the boss came in.  老板一进来他差慎立刻站了起来。  但是,在hardly [scarcely]…when…句式中,不能将when换成as。如:  Scarcely had we arrived, when it began to rain.  我们刚一到就下起雨来了。
