小升初英语语法倒装句知识点:关于让步倒装
所谓让步倒装,主要指的是由as或though引出的倒装形式的让步状语从句。这类倒装句置于句首的可以是形容词、副词、动词或名词等。如:
Successful as [though] he is, he is not proud.
他虽然成功,但不骄傲。
Cold as [though] it was, they went on working.
尽管天气很冷,他们仍不停地工作。
Much as [though] I’d like to, I can’t join you for lunch.
尽管我很想,但我不是不能与你们一起吃午饭。
Hard though [as] they tried, they couldn‘t make her change her mind.
尽管他们做了很大努力,却没法让她改变主意。
Try as [though] he may, he will not pass the examination.
尽管他可能会努力,他不会通过考试。
Search as [though] they would, they would find nobody in the house.
无论怎样搜查,他们在房子里仍然没有找到一个人。
Boy as [though] he was, he behaved like a girl.
他虽是个男孩,但举止却像个女孩。
注意,这类虚拟倒装有以下语法特点:
1. 当置于句首的名词是单数可数名词时,其前不能用冠词,即使名词前有形容词修饰也是如此。如:
Big puzzle as [though] it was, it hadn’t got the better of Jim.
虽然是个大难题,但仍没有难倒吉姆。
2. 这类让步倒装句式用as或though均可,总的说来,as比though更普通,但是不能用although。
3. 用though时,也可以不倒装;而用as时,必须倒装。如:
虽然她很美,但不聪明。
正:Pretty though she is, she is not clever.
正:Though she is pretty, she is not clever.
正:Pretty as she is, she is not clever.
误:As she is pretty, she is not clever.
