重要考点in case的用法归纳
一、用作连词
in case 用作连词时有以下两种用法。
1. 表示条件,意为“如果”“万一”。如:
In case it rains, do not expect me. 如果下雨,就不要等我了。
In case you see him, ask him about it. 如果你见着他,问问他这事。
In case I forget, please remind me of my promise. 如果我忘了,请提醒我我的诺言。
In case he arrives before I get back, please ask him to wait. 如果他在我回来之前到,请
让他等等我。
2. 表示目的,意为“以防”“生怕”。如:
I’m shy of buying shares in case I lose money. 我不敢买股票,怕赔钱。
Take warm clothes in case the weather is cold. 带些暖和的衣服,以防天气变冷。
I’ll keep a seat for you in case you should change your mind. 我给你留一个座位,以防
你会改变主意。
We took our swimming things in case we happened to find a pool. 我们带上游泳用品,
以备万一能找到一个水池。
注:有时从句的谓语由 should 构成,强调偶然性,可译为“万一”。如:
I wrote down her address in case I should forget it. 我写下了她的地址,以防万一我忘了。
I always slept by the phone in case he should ring during the night. 我总是睡在电话机
旁边,怕万一他夜间打电话来。
二、用作副词
in case 用作副词时,其意为“以防万一”。如:
Better take an umbrella in case. 最好带把伞,以防下雨。
The dog was chained, but I carried a stick in case. 狗是用链条锁住的,但我带着一根棍子
以防万一。
注:in case 的副词性用法,可视为其后省略了一个目的状语从句,其意为“以防有什么情况”。如:
The sun is shining, but I’ll take an umbrella just in case (it should rain). 现在是晴
天,但我还是带上雨伞以防万一。
The bus is usually on time, but start early, just in case (you are late). 公共汽车一
般是准时的,但还是早一点走好,以防有什么情况。
三、用于 in case of
in case of 为介词,其用法与用作连词时的用法相似。
