When 和while 的意思是不是一样？ 可不可以把着“当“来用？
如 When I was repairing my car, someone called me.
When he was watching TV drama, a stranger broke into his house.
When the workers were busily cleaning the hall, a policeman came.
以上是很通用的 when 的句子，但通用并不等于对！
一般上，when是用在时间较短的动作上，(1) someone called me (2) a stranger broke into his house(3) a policeman came into the hall 的时间较短，反而 (1) I was repairing my car (2) he was watching TV(3) the workers were busily cleaning the hall 是须花较久的时间，假若用 了 WHEN来译为“当”的意思，它就成了华式英语。
所以，正确性的写法是：
When someone called me, I was repairing my car.
When a stranger broke into his house, he was watching TV drama.
When a policeman came, the workers were busily cleaning the hall.
但While 却与 when有着相对的用法 . 上面的句子如果用了While，就不妥了。
While someone called me, I was repairing my car. （错）
While a stranger broke into his house, he was watching TV drama. （错）
While a policeman came, the workers were busily cleaning the hall. （错）
正确的句子是：
While I was repairing my car, someone called me.
While he was watching TV drama, a stranger broke into his house.
While the workers were busily cleaning the hall, a policeman came
