(一)though/although的用法

although和though意义一样,都作“虽然,即使”解,都表示让步,一般情况下可互换使用,只是although语气较重,大多置于句首。though/although引导让步状语从句时,主句若用yet或still引出,更加强调对比性,但不可出现but。有时也用倒装句型。在as though,even though中一般不可用although代替。同时although不可当副词用,而though可以。

=He may be poor, yet she loves him.

Even though he is poor, she loves him.尽管他很穷,但她还是爱他。

=He is poor, yet she loves him.

(三)as引导的让步状语从句

as表示“让步”时常用倒装。倒装时若有带冠词的名词,冠词需要省去。as的这种用法与though倒装时的用法完全一致,although不可这样用。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/Although you may reject, I'll go.

(四)whether…or…/whether(…)or not引导的让步状语从句

不论你来还是留在家中,我都要去。

Whether you believe it or not, it is true. 无论你是否相信,这都是真的。

(五)while引导的让步状语从句

while也可以引导让步状语从句,表示“尽管(部分承认……是事实)”,比though/

although语气弱。while引寻的让步状语从句一般要位于句首。

While she is a lovely girl, she can be extremely difficult to work with.

她虽然是一个可爱的姑娘,但有时很难与她共事。

While I understand what you say, I can't agree with you.

虽然我理解你的意思,但我还是不同意。

(六)wh-ever类词引导的让步状语从句

在英语中,wh-ever类词可作主句的疑问词,也可引导名词性从句,还可引导让步状语从句。一般没有whyever的用法,同时whether本身就代替了whetherever的形式。这类词在引导让步状语从句时常可换成no matter+相应的wh-词,在引导名词性从句时只能用wh-ever。

Whatever you say, I won't believe you. 无论你说什么,我都不会相信。

=No matter what you say, I won't believe you.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

注意:“no matter+疑问句”结构只能引导让步状语从句,而wh-ever类词还可以引导名词性从句。

Whatever(=No matter what) happened, he would not mind.

(让步状语从句)无论发生什么,他都不会介意。

I will take whoever (≠no matter who )wants to go. 谁想去我就带谁去。

Whoever(≠No matter who )comes will be welcome.

(主语从句)不管谁来都会受到欢迎。

方式状语从句

在句子中作方式状语的从句称为方式状语从句。方式状语从句一般位于句尾,有时位于句中。常用连接词as,(just) as…so...,as if,as though,the way等引导。

(一)as if/as though引导的方式状语从句

两者的意义和用法相同,引出的状语从句谓语多用虚拟语气,表示与事实相反,有时也用陈述语气,表示所说情况是事实或实现的可能性较大。常意为“仿佛……似的,好像……似的”。

I remember the whole thing as if it happened yesterday.

我记得整件事情,就仿佛是昨天发生的一样。(与事实相反,谓语用陈述语气)

It looks as if the weather may pick up very soon.

看来天气很快就会好起来。(实现的可能性较大,谓语用陈述语气)

(二)as,(just)as…so…引导的方式状语从句

as, (just) as…so…等引导的方式状语从句通常位于主句后。(just) as…so…结构位于句首时, as从句带有比喻的含义,意为“正如……,就像”,多用于正式文体。

Always do to the others as you would be done by.

你希望人家怎样待你,你就要怎样待人。

When in Rome do as the Romans do. (谚)入乡随俗。

Leave the children as they are. 让孩子们自由随便,不要管他们。

As water is to fish,as air is to man. 我们离不开空气,犹如鱼儿离不开水。

Just as we sweep our rooms, so we should sweep backward ideas from our minds. 正如打扫房屋一样,我们也要扫除我们头脑中落后的东西。

状语从句中的省略

在表示时间、地点、条件、方式(比较)或让步等的状语从句中,如果谓语含有动词be,主语又和主句的主语一致,或其主语是it,那么从句中的主语和谓语的一部分(尤其是be动词)往往可以省略。使用这些省略结构可收到言简意赅之功效。

1) 省略式的条件状语从句句型为if necessary,if possible, if true,if so, if not, if anyone, unless, once, as long as等词或短语后也运用省略形式。这种省略式的状语运用频繁,有的已经成了习惯表达法,被人们所熟知,而对于其完整的状语从句用的越来越少。

2) 状语从句中的主语尽管与主句的主语不相同,但如果它与主句的逻辑主语相同或根据主、从句的对应关系判断,意思比较明确,同时,从句的谓语又含有动词“be"的某种形式,则可省略从句中的“主语+be"部分。
