网友说“这道题中能用as,when”,不知依据是什么?

我认为,此题只能填when,其余两个不可以。

enter 是非延续性动词,无法跟表示延续的as 和while 连用。诊断结果如下:

When the host enters, the house band plays a theme music that is often 

played during the show. (正)

As the host enters, the house band plays a theme music that is often 

played during the show. (误)

While the host enters, the house band plays a theme music that is often 

played during the show. (误)

这个句子的实质是:乐队演奏音乐是一个持续的动作,“进入房子”是个瞬间完成的动作。就是说,“进入房子之时”(瞬间完成),乐队在演奏曲子(持续进行中)。说到底:“进入房子”这个动作,无法持续,所以排除as 和while。

   while 作“当 ...... 时候”解,只可接表示一段时间而不可接表示某点时间。例如: It was raining while we were out. 下雨时我们不在家。不可说:While I had finished my letter , I posted it. 应该说: After I had finished my letter,I posted it.我写好信后,就寄出了。(摘自《薄冰英语惯用法词典》)

    不能简单地用 as 表示“在 ...... 时”。例如:我开始在这儿工作时,报酬是...... 误:As I started work here, the pay was ... 正:When I started work here, the pay was ... (摘自《外教社.柯林斯高级英语用法词典》

    the host enters 是表示某点时间。所以,下面句中的 While 必须改为 When,但是不能改为 As :

    While the host enters, the house band plays a theme music that is often played during the show.
