让步状语从句
让步状语从句由though,although,as,even if (though),however,whatever,whoever,whenever,no matter +wh词,等引导。
1. even if, even though, although,though引导的让步状语从句
这四个词(词组)都有“虽然、即使、尽管”的意思。even if和even though带有较强的意味,语气比although和though强。though比although通俗,但不如although正式,都不能和but连用,但可以和yet, still或nevertheless连用。可以放在主句前面也可以放在主句后面。even if,even though所接的句子常用虚拟语气。
- We wouldn't give up even if we should fail ten times. 即使是我们失败十次,我们也不会放弃。
- He might have given you more help,even though he was very busy.尽管他很忙,他可能给了你更多的帮助。
2. as或though引导让步状语从句
(1)由as或though引导让步状语从句用倒装语序
- Proud as these nobles are, he is afraid to see me. 这些贵族尽管很傲慢,他们却害怕见我。
(2)如果表语为单数可数名词,这个名词不带冠词
- 12-year-old girl as she is, she has had a good command of English. 她虽然只是个12岁的女孩,但是她已经熟知英语。
- Child as he is,he knows a lot. 虽然他还是个孩子,却懂的很多。
(3)如果句中谓语包含情态动词或助动词,则将实意动词放在as之前
- Torture her as they did, the enemy got nothing out of her. 虽然敌人拷打她,却没有能从她嘴里得到什么。
- Praised as he was, he remained modest. 他虽然受到表扬,但仍然保持着谦虚。
(4)如果句中谓语仅有实意动词,则将实意动词(原形)放在as之前,并在主语后面加助动词do, does, did或will。
- Torture her as they did, the enemy got nothing out of her. 虽然敌人拷打她,却没有能从她嘴里得到什么。
- Fail as he did, he would never give up. 尽管他失败了,但他决不会放弃。
注:但是,如果在这种情况下,句中谓语有副词修饰,则将副词放在as之前。
- Again and again as he failed, he didn't lose heart. 他虽然多次失败,但仍不灰心丧气。
- Much as I admire his courage, I don't think he acted wisely. 我虽然佩服他的勇气,但是我认为他这样做是不明智的。
3. 由no matter+ wh词和由疑问词+ever引导让步状语从句
由no matter引导,表示“不管;无论”;由疑问词+ever引导,表示“不管,不论”。这类词有:whatever,whichever,whoever,however, whenever,wherever等,他们相当于no matter+ what(which,who,how,when, where),都不能与but,so,and等并列连词同时使用。
- We'll have to finish the job, however(no matter how) long it takes. 不管需要多长时间,我们都一定完成这项工作。
- No matter what(Whatever) you do, don't tell him that I told you this. 无论你做什么,别告诉他我对你说过这件事。
