并列连词when相关的句式归纳

2006年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试(辽宁卷)中有这样一道单项填空题:He was about halfway through his meal ___ a familiar voice came to his ears. A.why B.where C.when D.while 解析:答案是C。此处when作并列连词,表示“就在此刻(and just then)”“,突然(and suddenly)”,该句译为：“饭刚吃到一半儿的时候，熟悉的声音传到了他的耳朵里。”

这里when引导的并不是我们所认为的时间状语从句而是并列句。when的意思是这时而不是当什么时候。在这个句型中when所引导的从句恰恰是句意的重心，when在这里起到一个修辞的作用表示后一动作的发生的出乎意料，而前面一句是为后一句谓语动词的发生提供背景。when 为并列连词。在我们的教材中并不鲜见。如：

I'd just about given myself up for lost when I was spotted by a ship. 我正感到绝望时，一艘船发现了我。【Unit 3 Book 3】
