no sooner … than的等价变式:
我们熟悉的有hardly / scarely …when…, as soon as…
那下面的句子是否也可以等价交换呢?谢谢老师。
As soon as she got close, the old woman's hand shot out.
After she got close, the old woman's hand shot out immediately.
The old woman's hand shot out immediately after she got close.
After she got close, the old woman's hand shot out immediately.
The old woman's hand shot out immediately after she got close.
这两个句子不大像是出自说母语者之口。正常的表达应该用when引导从句。got close没有用进行体,when本身就表示二个动作是紧密衔接的。即when从句的动作在先,紧接着主句的动作发生。比after更准确。immediately after不如一个when简洁。
也许网友想表达的是,主句和从句动作之间有一定的时间差,因此用after引导从句?
网友其实只要知道as soon as, hardly/scarcely...when/before/than...意为only just a moment later, 强调从句动作和主句动词的紧密衔接就够了。没必要设计这几个句子来检验。另外,网友自己是如何理解这几个句子中从句和主句动作的时间差呢?

表示“一……就……”的从属连词:as soon as, the moment/minute/second/instant;no sooner... than, scarcely... when/before, hardly...when, directly, immediately, instantly, once
这些从属连词引导的从句都表示从句的动作与主句的动作同时发生,表示“一……就……”,当主句是一般将来时时,状语从句用一般时态代替将来时态。
The moment I got home, I found I had left my jacket on the playground.我刚一到家就发觉自己把夹克衫掉在操场上了。
注意:no sooner...than,hardly/scarcely...when这一结构中,no sooner与hardly/scarcely所在的主句谓语动词应用过去完成时,而than与when引导的状语从句谓语动词应用一般过去时。此外,当把no sooner和hardly/scarcely提到句首时,主句应该用倒装语序。
No sooner had Mo Yan stepped on the stage than the audience broke into thunderous applause.莫言刚走上讲台,观众席就爆发出雷鸣般的掌声。
