2.while 作名词,意为“一会儿,一段时间”。常用短语:after a while “过了一会儿”;all the while “始终;一直”;for a while “一会儿”;in a while “不久”。

辨析when和while
(1)when引导的时间状语从句中的动词可以是终止性动词,也可以是延续性动词;而while引导的从句中的动词必须是延续性动词。
(2)when引导的从句的动作和主句的动作可以是同时发生,也可以是先后发生;while强调主从句两个动作同时发生。
(3)when引导时间状语从句时,主句用过去进行时,从句应用一般过去时;如果主句和从句的动作同时发生,两者都用过去进行时,则用while引导时间状语从句。例如:
When the teacher came in,we were talking.=While we were talking,the teacher came in.当老师进来时,我们正在说话。
