三、難句解析

1. Some jobs may seem very dull but are very important to society， while others can appear very exciting but are actually very difficult and boring.

句中while意為“而，卻”，表對照或轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，while一般位于句中。

He is strong while his brother is weak. 他長得很結(jié)實，而他弟弟卻很瘦弱。

while的用法如下:

1) 引導(dǎo)時間狀語從句，意為“當(dāng)……時候”，指一段時間，不能用來表示點(diǎn)時間。 while從句中的動詞必須是延續(xù)性動詞，強(qiáng)調(diào)主句的動作在從句動作發(fā)生的過程中或主從句兩個動作同時發(fā)生。

盡管我承認(rèn)他的優(yōu)點(diǎn)，但我還是能看到他的缺點(diǎn)。

3) 表示條件，意為“只要”，其意思和用法相當(dāng)于as long as。while可位于句首，也可位于句中。
