as/though引導的讓步狀語從句,其倒裝形式為:
“副詞/形容詞/名詞/動詞+ as (though, that) +主語+謂語”,相當于although引導的讓步狀語從句。
Young as (though) he is , he knows a lot.
盡管年齡小,他知道的卻很多。
Strange as it may appear , it is true.
盡管顯得奇怪,但卻是真的。
注意:
1)這種句型中提前的常是限制主語的形容詞、副詞、過去分詞或名詞。
Situated as it was near a market , the house was very quiet.
盡管位于市場附近,這房子卻很安靜。
Hard as he works , he makes little progress.
盡管學習很努力,他取得的進步卻很小。
Fail as I did , I would try again.
盡管我失敗了,我還要嘗試。
Much as we tried , we failed to get the expected result.
盡管我們試了很多次,還是沒有得到期待的結(jié)果。
2)提前的表語是單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞時,名詞前不加a/an;但是有形容詞修飾的名詞前置時,不定冠詞不能省略。
Girl as she is , she is brave and outstanding.
盡管她是個女孩,卻很勇敢出眾。
A little child as he is , he can speak two foreign languages.
盡管他是個小孩子,卻能講兩門外語。
3)動詞提前后,主語后還應(yīng)有一個情態(tài)動詞may, might等或助動詞do等。
Try as he might , Tom couldn't get out of the trouble.
盡管湯姆嘗試了,卻不能擺脫困境。
