especially用于句首（从句前）

问题描述

especially的意思是“尤其是”“特别是”，它一般是用于单词前或短语前，如：

I like all kinds of fruit, especially apples. 各种各样的水果我都喜欢，特别是苹果。

He likes the country, especially in spring. 他喜欢乡村，尤其是在春天。

We want to invite some friends, especially Jim and John. 我们想邀请几个朋友，尤其是吉姆和约翰。

但有时它也用于从句前，如：

Noise is unpleasant, especially when you’re trying to sleep. 噪音是令人不愉快的，尤其是当你想入睡的时候。

问题：上面句子中的especially when you’re trying to sleep中的especially是用于时间状语从句前吧？especially还可用于哪些从句前？

老师答疑

罗老师：

especially可以修饰时间或者原因状语从句，根据《麦克米伦高阶》：especially + if / when / as / while / because / since…，例如：
He did not want to upset his father, especially as his mother was so ill. 他不想让父亲烦心，尤其是在母亲病得这么重的时候。
