6. As she turned around, there stood Gladys Claffern. 当她转过身时，看到格拉迪斯•克拉芬站在那儿。
①句中as意为“当……时”，为从属连词,引导时间状语从句。通常强调“ 同一时间” 或“一先一后”，如：
As I was going out, it began to rain. ②主句“there stood Gladys Claffern”是
由副词there引导的倒装句。
【拓展】
①as有时还有“随着……”的意思，如： As spring warms the good earth, all flowers begin to bloom.
②由副词there和here引导的倒装句通常不用于人称代词即不说“Here comes he!”
而须说“Here he comes!” 但在对比情况下，人称代词则与连系动词be构成倒装句，如：
There was he, on the playground, while I had to study.
2. The guests would be arriving soon and Claire told Tony to go into another room.
客人很快就要来了，克莱尔叫托尼去另一个间房。
句中用到过去将来进行时，由“would +be + 动词的现在分词”构成，表示在过去看来将来某一时间正在发生的动作。它常和表示过去将来的时间状语连用，
但上下文清楚时，时间状语可省略。和将来进行时一样，它也常表计划中的事，不表意愿或打算。它还有一个特点，即常用在宾语从句 (尤其是间接引语)中。 例如：
a. Mr. Smith never realized that some day he would be living in China. b. Mary told us that Jack would be coming next Saturday.
【拓展】
过去将来进行时有时也可用于其他从句 中，如：I would pay the rest as I would be leaving Beijing. (用在状语从句中。) 也可用在独立句中。
如：The car started. Ellen Green would be driving off to the college.
