when的重要知识点
When 全能型选手（侧重“时间点”或“先后顺序”）
when 是最通用的词，既可以接瞬间动词（点时间），也可以接延续性动词（段时间）。它常常用来表示“某一具体时刻”或者“一个动作紧接着另一个动作发生”。
- When I arrived at the station, the train had left. (当我到达车站时，火车已经开了。——“到达”是一瞬间的动作，不能用 while)
- When the class is over, I will go to the gym. (下课后，我会去健身房。——先下课，后去健身房)
- The phone rang when I was taking a shower. (我正在洗澡时，电话响了。)
When 做疑问词
- When did you come here? 你何时到这来的？
- When does the meeting start? 会议何时开始？
- When will you finish your work? 你何时做完？
- When is this due? 什么时侯到期？

While 时间段专家（侧重“两个动作同时进行”）
当主句是短暂动作，从句是延续动作时，when 和 while 可以互换。
- While I was reading, my roommate was playing games. (我在看书的时候，我室友在玩游戏。——两个动作在同一段时间内平行发生)
- I like swimming, while my brother likes running. (我喜欢游泳，而我哥哥喜欢跑步。)
- The phone rang when / while I was cooking. (用 when / 都可以，后面通常用进行时)
As 同步伴奏大师（侧重“一边……一边”或“伴随变化”）
as 强调主句和从句的动作紧密结合，几乎同时发生，或者同步变化。它翻译成“一边……一边”或“随着”最贴切。
- He breathed a sigh of relief as he opened the letter. (他打开信时，松了一口气。——打开信和叹气几乎是同时、伴随发生的)
- As time goes on, things are getting better. (随着时间的推移，事情正在变好。)
