外研版 高一年级(必修4) Module 3 Grammar 2 Adverbial clause of concession 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。 Though/Although he was worn out, (still) he kept on working. 虽然他已经精疲力竭, 但仍然继续工作。 Though/Although 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。 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.) 尽管他学习很努力, 但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 can’t 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。 这两个复合连词的意思基本相同它们常可互换使用, 但意义有细微差别. 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, 是以从句内容为先决条件的, 也就是说, 说话人肯定了从句的事实。 We’ll 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 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个方面的可能性都不会影响主句的意向或结果。 You’ll have to attend the ceremony whether you’re free or busy. 不管你忙不忙, 都要参加这个典礼。 Whether you believe it or not, it’s true. 无论你是否相信
