语法点二 表示让步关系的从属连词
1.although与though
(1)这两个词意思相同,通常可以换用,但although语气较重,通常放在句首,并用于正式场合。这两个词都不与but连用,但可与yet或still连用。
Although it is snowing,(yet) it is not very cold.
虽然下着雪,但天并不是很冷。
(2)though作"尽管"讲,引导的让步状语从句可以倒装,即把表语、状语或动词原形置于句首,若表语是可数名词单数,前置时要省去不定冠词。
Child though he is, he knows a lot.
虽然他是个孩子,但他懂得很多。
Try though I might, I couldn't lift the stone.
不管我怎样努力,还是搬不动那块石头。
[名师点津] though除作连词外,还可用作副词,意为"但是,然而",常置于句末;句子较长时,也可置于句中。
She promised to phone. I heard nothing, though.
她答应要打电话来,可我没听到回信儿。
2.as
as引导的让步状语从句要采用倒装语序,即把表语、状语或谓语动词放到从句句首,其用法同though。
Poor as he is, he lives a happy life.
他虽然穷,但过得很幸福。
Much as he loved her, he didn't tell her.
尽管他很爱她,但没有告诉她。
3.while
while引导让步状语从句,意为"虽然;尽管",while从句常置于句首。
While I admit that there are problems, I don't agree that they cannot be solved.
尽管我承认有问题存在, 但我不同意说这些问题不能解决。
