誹謗和流言的區(qū)別在于前者是書(shū)面的,而后者是口頭的。

【解析】

用法小結(jié)

1)引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句,從句中的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞應(yīng)用延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞或表示狀態(tài)的詞,譯作“當(dāng)……時(shí)”。

①While the discussion was still going on,George came in.
當(dāng)討論還在進(jìn)行時(shí),喬治走了進(jìn)來(lái)。

②We must work hard to gain more knowledge while we are young.
趁著現(xiàn)在還年輕,我們必須刻苦學(xué)習(xí),獲得更多的知識(shí)。

注意:while,when,as表“當(dāng)……的時(shí)候”的區(qū)別

while 強(qiáng)調(diào)同時(shí)性或某時(shí)間段內(nèi)一種情況發(fā)生時(shí)另一種情況出現(xiàn),與延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞連用;

when 可與延續(xù)或非延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞連用,在強(qiáng)調(diào)“當(dāng)時(shí)”,“這時(shí)”之意時(shí)when;

as 強(qiáng)調(diào)同時(shí)性,指“一邊……一邊……”一件事情發(fā)生,另一件事情立刻發(fā)生。

但以下句型一定用when,作并列連詞:

句型A:be about to do…when…正要做…這時(shí)(發(fā)生另一事)

We were about to set out when it began to rain.
我們剛要出發(fā)天突然下雨了。

句型B:was/were doing…when…正在…這時(shí)(發(fā)生另一事)

He had hardly sat down when his mobile rang.
他剛一坐下手機(jī)就響了。

句型C:had done…when…剛要做…這時(shí)(發(fā)生另一事)

I was walking along the bank of the river when I fell into it.
我正沿河岸散步突然掉進(jìn)水里。

2)引導(dǎo)讓步狀語(yǔ)從句,多用于句首。意為“盡管,雖然”

①While I admit his good points I can see his bad.
盡管我承認(rèn)他的長(zhǎng)處,但我也看到了他的不足。

②While he loves his students,he is very strict with them.
雖然他愛(ài)他的學(xué)生,可是他對(duì)他們很嚴(yán)格。

3)While作并列連詞用,意思為“而,然而”,表前后意義上的對(duì)比或轉(zhuǎn)折。

There’s plenty of rain in the southeast,while there's little in the northeast.
東南部雨量充足,而西北部則很少下雨。

注意:while與but的區(qū)別

二者都有“而,然而”之意,但while強(qiáng)調(diào)二者的對(duì)比,而but強(qiáng)調(diào)前后的轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。

①Some people waste food while others haven't enough.
有些人很費(fèi)糧食,然而有些人卻吃不飽。

②I ought to have helped her,but I never could.
?我本該幫她但沒(méi)能。

4)引導(dǎo)條件狀語(yǔ),意思是“只要”

①While there is a will,there is away.
有志者事竟成。

②We can surely overcome these difficulties while we are closely united.
?只要我們緊密地團(tuán)結(jié)一致,一定能克服這些困難。

5)while可用作名詞,意為“一會(huì)兒;一段時(shí)間”

①I haven’t seen her for along while.
我好久沒(méi)有看見(jiàn)她了。

②He usually goes to work by bike,but once in a while he goes by bus.
他通常騎自行車上班,但偶爾也乘公共汽車。
