同等學(xué)力英語讓步狀語從句用法

讓步狀語從句的用法一(表示“雖然，即使，盡管”)

1. although，though，even though，even if都表示“雖然，即使，盡管”之意，though 和although 語氣較弱(其中的though 比although 通俗, 不如although 正式)，even if和even though 帶有強調(diào)意味而顯得語氣更強。例如：Although they are poor, they are happy. 雖然他們很窮，但很快樂。// Although it was so cold, he went out without an overcoat. 天氣雖然很冷, 但他沒有穿大衣就出去了。// Though they may not succeed, they will still try. 即使他們可能不會成功，但他們?nèi)耘L試。// The article is very important though it is short. 那篇文章雖然很短，但很重要。// He is better, though not yet cured. 他好一點了，雖仍未痊愈。// Even though it was raining, she walked to work. 即使下雨，她也是走著去工作的。// I’ll visit him this evening even if I can stay only a few minutes. 今晚我將去拜訪他，即使我只能停留一小會兒。

注意：though 引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語從句的用法比較特殊，它可以倒裝，也可以不倒裝，具體用法參見as引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句的用法。

2. as引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句表示“雖然、即使、盡管”，其引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語從句必須采用倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)，as引導(dǎo)的倒裝形式的讓步狀語從句的基本結(jié)構(gòu)為：形容詞/副詞/名詞(單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞前一般不帶冠詞，有時也可見單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞前形容詞與不定冠詞連用、形容詞放在不定冠詞前)/動詞/過去分詞+as+主語+謂語的其他部分。注意體會下列典型例句：Great as the author was, he proved a bad model. 這位作者盡管了不起，到頭來卻成了一個壞榜樣。// Ridiculous as it seems, the tale is true. 這個故事看似荒唐，卻是真的。// Rich as he is, he is not happy. 雖然他很富有，但他并不幸福。// Child as he is, he can tell black from white.(倒裝時要省去單個名詞前的冠詞)盡管還是個孩子，他卻能分辨黑白。// Brave (a) man as he is, he trembles at the sight of snakes. 他盡管勇敢，可見到蛇還是發(fā)抖。// Badly wounded as he was, he remained quite optimistic. 盡管傷勢很重，他仍然十分樂觀。// Try as he would, he could not lift the rock. 雖然盡了最大努力，但是他仍然不能搬動那塊石頭。

[考題1] We had to wait half an hour ____ we had already booked a table.

A. since B. although C. until D. before

[答案] B

[解析] 下劃線處之后所述的“我們已經(jīng)預(yù)訂了一桌”與前面所述的“我們已經(jīng)不得不等了半個小時”之間語意相反，四個選項中although表示“即便……”，引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句最為合適。
