16、从句是状语从句中的一种,其本身也是状语从句。一般翻译为“尽管即使”就是我们日常生活中用的“退一步说”的感觉。引导让步状语从句的连词主要有以下这些:though, although, as; even if, even though; whether.or.; no matter+疑问词,疑问词-ever。(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never,the less连用,但不能与but连用。例如: Although/
17、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)a
18、s, 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也可用于这样的结构中,但although不可以这样用。例如: Object as you may, Ill go.(=Though/Although you may object, Ill 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.)尽管他学习很努力,但
19、几乎没取得什么进步。 Child as/though he was, he knew what was the right thing to do.(=Though he was a child, he knew what was the right thing to do.)虽然他是一个孩子,但他知道该做什么。 Fast as you read, you cant finish the book so soon. 纵然你读得快,你也不能这么快读完这本书。(3)even if, even though 表示“即使”,“纵使”之意,含有一种假设。 这两个复合连词的意思基本相同。它们常互换使用,但
20、意义有细微差别。even if引导的让步从句含有强烈的假定性,而even though引导让步状语从句时,是以从句的内容为先决条件的,即说话人肯定了从句的事实。例如: Well make a trip even if/though the weather is bad. 即使天气不好,我们也要作一次旅行。 Even if he is poor, she loves him. (=He may be poor, yet she loves him.)即使他很穷,但她还是爱他。 Even though he is poor, she loves him. (=He is poor, yet she
21、 loves him.)尽管他很穷,但她还是爱她。 (4)whether.or.表示“不论是否”,“不管是还是”之意。 由这一个复合连词引导的让步状语从句旨在说明正反两方面的可能性都不会影响主句的意向或结果。例如: Youll have to attend the ceremony whether youre free or busy. 不管你忙不忙,都要参加这个典礼。 Whether you believe it or not, its true.无论你是否相信,这都是真的。 (5)“no matter+疑问词”或“疑问词-ever”的含义为“都;不管都” 它们引导的让步状语从句可以互换。例
22、如: No matter what happened, he would not mind. (=Whatever happened, he would not mind.)无论发生了什么,他都不会介意的。 No matter who you are, you must keep the law.(=Whoever you are, you must keep the law.不管你是谁,你都要遵纪守法。 但“no matter+疑问词”结构只能引导让步状语从句,而“疑问词-ever”还可以引导名词性从句。例如: Whatever (=No matter what) you say, I wo
23、nt believe you. (Whatever 引导让步状语从句)无论你说什么,我都不会相信你。 Ill eat whatever (no matter what) you give me. (whatever引导宾语从句)你给我吃什么,我就吃什么。 Whoever comes will be welcome. (Whoever 引导主语从句) 不管谁来都受到欢迎。 此外,有时while也可以引导让步状语从句,但一般要位于句首。例如: While I like the colour, I dont like the shape.我虽然喜欢那颜色,但不喜欢那形状。1. We had to w
24、ait half an hour _ we had already booked a table.A. since B. although C. until D. before【答案】 B 【解析】下划线处之后所述的“我们已经预订了一桌”与前面所述的“我们已经不得不等了半个小时”之间语意相反, 四个选项中although表示“即便”, 引导让步状语从句最为合适。2. _ most of the earths surface is covered by water, fresh water is very rare and precious.A. As B. Once C. If D. Alth
25、ough【答案】 D【解析】句意为: 虽然地球表面覆盖着水, 但是纯净水仍然很稀有、 珍贵。下划线处应引导让步状语从句, 填入although最为合适。3.Although he is considered a great writer, _.A. his works are not widely readB. but his works are not widely readC. however his works are not widely readD. still his works are not widely read【答案】 A【解析】英语不允许在连词although、 thou
26、gh引导的让步状语从句之后的主句句首重复使用连词, 如果要在复合句中强调某种特别的意义, 可以在主句的句首加上yet、 still等副词。例如: Although she has a lot of money, (yet/still) she is not happy. 虽然她很有钱, 但是她并不快乐。4.There was never any time for Kate to feel lonely, _ she was an only child.A. ever since B. now thatC. even though D. even as【答案】 C【解析】下划线处应引导让步状语从
27、句, 四个选项中只有even though可以引导让步状语从句。5.Many of them turned a deaf ear to his advice, _ they knew it to be valuable.A. as if B. now that C. even though D. so that【答案】 C【解析】“Many of them turned a deaf ear to his advice”和“they knew it to be valuable”意思相反, 四个选项中引导让步状语从句的even though最为适合。6.Allow children the s
28、pace to voice their opinions, _ they are different from your own.A.until B. even if C. unless D.as though【答案】 C【解析】题干句意为: 让孩子们有发言的空间, 即使他们的观点与你的不同。从句与主句为让步关系, 应由even if 引导从句。7. _, he talks a lot about his favorite singers after class.A. A quiet student as he may beB. Quiet student as he maybeC. Be a
29、 quiet student as he mayD. Quiet as he may be a student【答案】 B【解析】 as引导让步状语从句应该倒装, 本题中需要放在as之前的部分应该是整个表语部分并且要省略student前的不定冠词(若要保留该不定冠词, 则应将其置于quiet与student之间)。8. _, I have never seen anyone whos as capable as John.A. As long as I have traveledB. Now that I have traveled so muchC. Much as I have trave
30、ledD. As I have traveled so much【答案】 C【解析】从句“I have traveled”与主句“I have never seen anyone whos as capable as John”之间具有明显的让步关系, 本题应选用as的倒装形式引导让步状语从句。9,._, his idea was accepted by all the people at the meeting.A. Strange as might it soundB. As it might sound strangeC. As strange it might soundD. Stra
31、nge as it might sound【答案】 D【解析】“他的建议在会上被全部的人所接受”与“他的建议听起来或许奇怪”之间意思相反, 因此下划线处引导的从句应为让步状语从句, 而as引导让步状语从句应采用倒装结构, 由此先排除不是倒装结构的选项B、 C, 再排除倒装形式不正确的选项A, 最终选出D。10. _, I have to put it away and focus my attention on study this week.A. However the story is amusingB. No matter amusing the story isC. However amusing the story isD. No matter how the story is amusing【答案】 C【解析】 however, no matter how引导让步状语从句时应在其之后先接上被其所直接修饰的形容词或副词, 然后再接让步状语从句当中的其他成分, 因此本题应选C。
