外研版高中二年级 ( 第五册 )Module 5让步状语从句 ( 1 ) though, although 表示“虽然,纵然”之意
这两个连词意思大致相同,在一般情况下可以互换使用
在口语中, though 较常使用,although 比 though 正式,二者都可与 yet, still 或nevertheless 连用,但不能与 but 连用
例如: Though/Though he was worn out, (still) he kept on working
虽然他已经精疲力竭了,但仍然继续工作
Although/Though he is very old, (yet)he is quite strong
他虽然年纪大了,身体还很健壮
值得注意的是, although 引导的让步状语从句位于主句之前的情况较多, though 引导的让步状语从句可位于主句之前或主句之后
例如: She passed the examination though she had not studied very hard
她虽然不用功学习,考试却及格了
( 2 ) as, though 表示“虽然……但是”,“纵使……” 之意
as 引导的让步状语从句必须以部分倒装的形式出现 , 被倒装的部分可以是表语、状语或动词原形,though 间或也用于这样的结构中,但 although 不可以这样用
Object as you may, I’ ll go (=Though/Although you may object, I ’ ll go
) 纵使你反对,我也要去
Hard as/ though he works, he makes little progress
(=Though he works hard, he makes little progress
