no sooner than和hardly when的区别

no sooner than

它的意思相当于刚做完A这件事,就做了B这件事。

例如:

He had no sooner returned than he bought a house.

他一回来就买了一套房子。

3、hardly when,它的意思是“几乎未来得及做完A这件事,紧接着就开始B这件事了”,使用这个短语时,一般用于过去完成时;并且when有时可改用before。

例如:

He had hardly finished the article when the light went out.

他刚写完文,灯就熄了。
