as though引导的让步状语从句的倒装
as though引导的让步状语从句的倒装
as though引导的让步状语从句的倒装是指将表语或状语提到句首,以达到修辞和表达的目的。
具体分为以下几种情况:
- 表语的倒装:一般直接将表语提前到句首,若表语是带不定冠词a/an的单数可数名词,倒装后,不定冠词a/an须被省略。
如:

- Child as/though he is, he knows much about the society.
- 动词原形的倒装:
- 动词前面带有情态动词may, might, will, would, can, could等时,只将行为动词提到句首,而这些情态动词保留在原处。
如:Swim as/though he can, he can’t swim so far.
- 若动词前面没有情态动词时,应在动词原来的位置加上助动词do的适当形式。
如:Run as/though he did, he didn’t run fast enough to catch the bus.
- 状语的倒装:如In the classroom as/though he stays, he doesn’t read his texts.
需要注意的是,让步状语从句中,有though,although时,后面的主句不能有but,但是though和yet可连用。

"as though" 和"although" 都是用来引导让步状语从句的,但它们在句中的含义和使用场景有所不同:
1. as though:
- 通常用来引导方式状语从句,表达一种假设或想象的情形,相当于“好像”、“仿佛”。
它有时也可以用于虚拟语气,表达与事实相反的情况。
- 例句:
- She behaves as though she knows everything. (她表现得好像什么都知道似的。
)
- He speaks as though he were a native speaker. (他说起话来就像个母语使用者一样。

- 例句:
- Although it was raining heavily, we still went out. (尽管雨下得很大,我们还是出去了。
)
- Although he is tired, he continues working. (虽然他很累,但他仍在继续工作。
)

【三条补充说明】1. 这类倒装的让步状语从句可用as, though 来引导,但不能用although来引导;但是,未倒装的让步状语从句则可用though, although来引导,而不能用as来引导。
也就是说,although引导让步状语从句时不能倒装,as引导让步状语从句时必须倒装,而though引导让步状语从句时可以倒装也可以不倒装。
如:虽然很晚了,但我们还是继续工作。
正:Late as [though] it was, we still went on working.正:Though [Although] it was late, we still went on working.误:Late although it was, we still went on working.误:As it was late, we still went on working.2. 上面提到的倒装结构有时也可用来表示原因,区别的办法主要看句子的内容:让步从句的内容大多数与主句在意义上相反,而原因从句则与主句之间有因果关系。

(表让步)Young as he was, he was not equal to the task. 他因为年轻,所以不能胜任这项工作。
