英语名词作状语的结构及其用法

来充当。名词主要用作主语、
宾语和表语等句子成分，其作状语直接修饰动词、副词、形容词等的用法经
常
被忽略。其实在英语的实际使用中，名词作状语很普遍。尤其是在现代英语口
语中，名词作状
语这一现象屡见不鲜。而一般语法书对此谈得很少，甚至只字
未提。笔者在此就英语名词作状语的结构及
其用法作一粗浅归纳，以期对英语
学习者有所帮助。
一、名词作状语的结构
1.名词+s
该结构中的名词主要是表示“时间”意义的名词，加上s后在句中作状语，有<
br>些词典因而把这类名词看作副词。如:hours, mornings, afternoons,
evenings,nights, weekends, Mondays,
Tuesdays等。这类名词主要用于美国英语。
例如:We have been sitting
here hours waiting for you.
We worked nights
at that time.
Tuesdays I usually go to the
library to read some magazines.
I haven' t so
much to do evenings and weekends.
2.不定冠词+名词
该结构有时表达程度轻、数量少、时间短。例如:
I hardly slept a
wink last night.昨天晚上我连眼都没合。
Wait a minute,
please!
3.不定代词+名词
不定代词some, any, all,
another等加上一些表时间意义或行为方法的名词，
通常在句中直接作状语。例如:
He has waited some time.
1 5
I will stay another five months.
It may start raining any moment.
Do it any
way you like.
4.指示代词+名词
该结构构成的名词短语通常在句中充当状语。例如:
He asked us
whether we were going away that day.
We have
been discussing the project these days.
I’11
come and see you again this evening.
He has
been watching you these ten minutes.
Do it
this way.
5.数词+名词
这些名词通常是表示度量或时间的名词。多数用作程度
状语，修饰形容词
或副词，也可以修饰动词。例如:
This desk is two
meters long.
I walk three kilometers a day.
The baby weighs nine pounds.
The meeting
will last six days.
I’m five years older than
his brother.
Why did you come two hours late
this morning?
6.形容词+名词。next,first,last,whole等形
容词加上名词可引起该词组的状语
化。例如:
I saw a film
yesterday and I' 11 see another next week.
2
5
He went to Shanghai last
Monday.
First thing in the morning we swept
the courtyard.
We swam the whole day.
7.名词
+连词介词+名词。以并列连词and或or以及介词by,after,in等连接
起来构成固定短语
的名词词组通常在句中作状语修饰谓语动词。
常见的有:day after day, night
after night, year after year, arm in arm, hand in
hand,bit by bit, step by step, part by part,
side by side, time and time again, heart and
soul,hand and foot, rain or shine等。例如:
She
looked after the child day and night.
They
waited on him hand and foot.他们殷勤周到地侍候他。
We
should serve the people heart and
soul.我们应该全心全意为人民服务。
在这些名词词组里，前后两个名词通常属于同类性质的名词或同一个名
词，
如可以是人体某部位或其它同类物体。这些词组作状语，常放在句尾，具
有加强语气的作用。
二、名词作状语的用法
名词作状语时，可在句中修饰谓语动词、形容词、副词以及介词短语等。
1.修饰谓语动词
名词作状语修饰谓语动词时经常置于所修饰的谓语动词之后或句末，当动
词是不及物动词时，千
万不可把状语看作宾语。例如:
The meeting lasted an
hour.其实这句话应说成:The meeting lasted for an hour.
以
介词for引导的短语作状语.当介词for省略后，anhour便充当状语修饰谓语动
词laste
d
2.修饰形容词、副词或介词短语
3 5
当名词作状语修饰形容词、副词或介词短语时，常置于这些词之前。例
如:He said
it had been completed a year before.
We
completed the work five days ahead of time.
The room is three times larger than that one.
3.名词可充当时间、地点、方式、程度、让步等状语。
1)作时间状语。如:
I
) I shall be back next week.
2) One day a
mouse came into the garage and played on the
floor.
3) To see once is better than to hear a
hundred times.
2)作地点状语。如:
I ) The swallows
go south in winter.
2) She lives next door.
3) We are going some place tonight.
3)作方式状语。如:

the way she does.

airmail.
4)作程度状语。如:
1) He talked a great
deal.
2) He is a head taller than his sister.
3) These vases are centuries old.
4 5
5)作让步状语。如:
1) Rain or
shine, we have to go.不管天晴还是下雨，我们都得走。
2) He
spends an hour a day running, summer or
winter.不管是夏天还是冬天，
他每天都要花一小时跑步。
总之，英语名词作状语颇为常见，尤其是作形容词修饰语的现象越来越普
遍。
将它们用在书面语中可使描写简练、生动、形象;用在口语中则语气更强，
更具有夸张性。
