2. We must work hard to gain more knowledge while we are young.
趁着现在还年轻,我们必须刻苦学习,获得的知识。
二、引导让步状语从句

虽然我相信那是真的,但我无法证明。
2. While any kind of athletic shoe can provide a certain amount of rebound, energy-return sneakers are designed to maximize this effect.
虽然任何一种运动鞋都能提供一定的反弹力,但回力运动鞋能够使这种效果最大化。

2. While a spark of life remains, it is a doctors duty to save the patient.

2. Id like to get it settled today while were at it.
既然我们着手干了,我想今天就把它干完。
五、连接并列句

1. An outdoors man will soon become pale if he changes to an indoor job, while a desk clerk will take on a tan after a short vacation in the sun.
从事室外工作的人如果调到室内工作,不久肤色就会变白;而一个伏案工作的文员出去度个短假,就会被太阳变黑。
2. Motion is absolute while stagnation is relative.
运动是绝对的,而静止是相对的。
六、连接并列句
表示递进,相当于and what is more, 译作并且、而且。例如:
1. The new man-made fibres are more hardwearing than natural fibres and greatly reduce mending, while good ready-made clothes are cheap and plentiful.
