问题
选择题
The young couple, who returned my lost wallet, left _______ I could ask for their names.
A.while
B.before
C.after
D.since
答案
答案:B
题目分析:考查状语从句。before的基本含义是“在……之前”,又可以根据不同语境灵活翻译成“才”、“还没来得及就……”、“趁……”、“就”等,与情态动词can/could连用, 这时候从句虽为肯定形式,根据汉语表达习惯译成“还没来得及就”,如: Before I could get in a word,he had measured me. 我还没来得及插话他就为我量好了尺寸。While在……期间,当……时候;after在……之后;since自从。故选B。
