3、ime. 当让步状语从句是指一种假设的情况，不指事实时，通常用though，而不用although，如： Though all the world were against me, I shall still hold to my opinion. though可以在非正式文体中用作连接性状语，而although 则不行。（though 可以放在句中或句末，通常用逗号隔开），如： He said he would come; he didnt, though.,1although 和though 引导的让步状语从句：,3,课堂借鉴！, though引导的从句可用倒装语序（即把从句中的表语或状语

4、等放在though之前），而although 不能这样用，如： Young though she is, yet she is fit for the job. (= Young as she is, ) 有时可用副词yet, still, nevertheless (但不能用连词but) 来配合连接词though或although，以加强语气，如： Though he is over seventy, yet / still / nevertheless he can ride the bike. though和although后面的主语和谓语动词be 可以省略，如果这个主语和主句中的主语指

7、让步状语从句结构：,在正式文体或文学作品中，为了强调让步的含义，可用as引导让步从句。但as一般不置于句首，而将从句中的表语或状语置于句首。（though, that与as一样，也可以用于这种结构），如下面几种情况： 表语的倒装： Tired as he was, he still went on with his work. Difficult though the task was, they managed to accomplish it in time. 状语的倒装：（这时不可在状语之前加very, much等修饰语） Much as he likes the bike, he do

Tired as were the workers, they

10、 did not stop. as 从句与主句在时态上可以不一致，如： Child as he is, he was brave. 注意区别as 引导的原因从句与让步从句，试比较： Lawyer as he is, he explains the reason clearly.
