欢迎收看《每日语法》栏目，我是卡维。
And I'm Lucija. We haven't done an episode on direct contrasts, have we?
我是露西佳。我们之前没做过直接对比的节目，是吧？
Let me think. I don't think so.
让我想想。没做过。
Well then, it's about time!
那么，现在是时候了。
While and Whereas can be used to show direct contrast when something is exactly the opposite of something else.
当某物与其他事物完全相反时，While和Whereas可用于表示直接对比。
Tim is happy, while Tom is sad.
蒂姆很高兴，而汤姆很伤心。
Mary likes living in the city, while Martha prefers the countryside.
玛丽喜欢住在城里，而玛莎喜欢乡下。
While and Whereas are conjunctions. They connect two clauses.
While和Whereas是连词，连接两个从句。
Tim is happy. Tom is sad.
蒂姆很高兴。汤姆很伤心。
Mary likes living in the city. Martha prefers the countryside.
玛丽喜欢住在城里。玛莎喜欢乡下。
Well, that's fairly easy to understand.
好吧，这很容易理解。
But I don't hear many people use Whereas when they speak.
但我没听到很多人说话时使用Whereas。
That's because whereas occurs more in formal English writing.
这是因为Whereas大多出现在正式的英语写作中。
In the northern hemisphere, July and August are hot summer mouths,
在北半球，7月和8月是炎炎夏日，
whereas in the southern hemisphere, they are cool winter months.
而在南半球，它们是凉爽的冬月。
He loves to travel, whereas his wife prefers to stay at home.
他喜欢旅行，而他的妻子则喜欢呆在家里。
Here is a tip: When expressing contrasts, While and Whereas mean the same thing.
提示：当表达对比时，While和whereas意思相同。
But you should know that While is also commonly used with time clauses and means "during the time."
但你知道While也经常用于时间状语从句中，意思是“在此期间”。
But I think we should save that for another episode.
但我认为我们把它留到另一期节目。
And that's Everyday Grammar.
