the first time 在句子中可作副词（状语）吗

问题描述

It was the first time it had spoken，and Alice jumped in surprise．

it had spoken 由什么引起的从句，还有 in surprise，作方式状语吗？

老师答疑

刘老师：

下面，是我给学生做的一个详细分析，内容全一些。

It is the first time that... 句式分析

【结构分析】It is the first time that I have visited Beijing.

It is the first time 为主句，that I have visited Beijing. 为定语从句，修饰the time，that为关系副词，可以省略。It 为人称代词，不是形式主语，它表示“时间、次数”等概念。我们也常说：It is the first time I have visited Beijing.

其他基本变式：

1. It is the first (second ...) time that...

2. This is the first (second...) time that ...

3. That is the first (second...) time that ...

【时态分析】

It is the first time that...跟现在完成时连用，这体现了“现在完成时”的另一个用法特点：对过去经历的总结回顾。意味着从过去某个时间到说话时的经历（也可能是人一生所经历），这跟现在完成时的“动作发生在过去，一直持续到现在”有某种关联，这里是强调次数和经历而已。例如：

This is the first time in my life that I have taken part in such a grand celebration.这是我有生以来第一次参加如此盛大的庆典。

Although it is not an official Olympic event, this is the first time that Wushu has come so close to the Olympics.虽然这不是官方奥运比赛，但这是第一次武术距离奥运这么近。

This is the first time that the three leaders have met together and the first time that President Roosevelt has met Marshal Stalin.这是三巨头的第一次会面，同时也是罗斯福总统与斯大林元帅的首次会面。

But this is the first time that we’ve been able to look at everything.但这是我们第一次看到全景。

This is the first time that they’ve ever had a truly stable home where they put their heads down on the same pillow each night.这是第一次他们拥有了一个真正固定的住所，每天晚上他们都躺在同一个枕头上睡觉。

That is the first time they have experienced that.这是他们第一次经历那件事。

▲ 同理，如果主句用“一般过去时”：It was the first time that...，那么从句应当使用“过去完成时”，体现“过去的过去”这个语法特点。例如网友的这个句子：It was the first time it had spoken，and Alice jumped in surprise．

又如：

曹老师：

这是省略了that的限制性定语从句，关系副词that在从句中作时间状语。非正式语体中关系副词that可以引导定语从句，并在从句中作时间、地点、方式、和原因状语，而且还可以省略that。正式一些的语体可能需要用by which来引导定语从句。

in surprise可以看作方式状语，原因状语或伴随状语.
