英语让步倒装的语法

  导语: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。下面YJBYS小编讲解英语让步倒装的语法,欢迎参考!

  让步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.
