　　(教材P30)Strangely，his beard is still red even though his hair is turning grey．真怪，即使他的头发成了灰白色的，而胡子还是红色的。

　　【要点提炼】　 此句为主从复合句。his beard is still red是主句，even though his hair is turning grey是让步状语从句。

　　引导让步状语从句的常用连词有：

　　(1)although/though　　　　 尽管，虽然

　　even though/even if 即使，尽管

　　(2)whether...or... 不管......还是......

　　疑问词＋­ever/no matter＋疑问句

　　 不管......；无论......

　　(3)while常用在句首；when常用在句中，相当于although。

　　①He is unhappy，though/although he has a lot of money.

　　虽然他很有钱，但他并不幸福。

　　②Whatever(＝No matter what)you say，he won't believe you.无论你说什么，他都不会相信你。
