while doing的用法讲解

while可以翻译成“当…的时候”，这时候它引导的从句常用用过去进行时，主句可以是一般过去式或过去进行时。

当while引导的从句中的主语跟主句的主语是同一个人或物时，这是while引导的从句中的主语和be动词可省略，故而就变成了while doing。

例：

He was selling the newspaper while he was waiting for the bus.

=He was selling the newspaper while (he was )waiting for the bus.(he was可以省略)

=He was selling the newspaper while waiting for the bus.

他边等车边卖报。

例：

My mother was cooking while I was watching TV.

我正在看电视的时候,我妈妈正在做饭。

这个句子主句的从句的主语不一致，所以不能写成while doing这个的结构。

注：while doing=when doing，用法是一样的，

例如：

He was selling the newspaper while waiting for the bus.

=He was selling the newspaper when waiting for the bus.

他在等公共汽车的时候在卖报纸。
