【三條補(bǔ)充說明】
1. 這類倒裝的讓步狀語從句可用as, though 來引導(dǎo)，但不能用although來引導(dǎo)；但是，未倒裝的讓步狀語從句則可用though, although來引導(dǎo)，而不能用as來引導(dǎo)。也就是說，although引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句時(shí)不能倒裝，as引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句時(shí)必須倒裝，而though引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句時(shí)可以倒裝也可以不倒裝。如：
雖然很晚了，但我們還是繼續(xù)工作。
正：Late as [though] it was, we still went on working.
正：Though [Although] it was late, we still went on working.
誤：Late although it was, we still went on working.
誤：As it was late, we still went on working.
2. 上面提到的倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)有時(shí)也可用來表示原因，區(qū)別的辦法主要看句子的內(nèi)容：讓步從句的內(nèi)容大多數(shù)與主句在意義上相反，而原因從句則與主句之間有因果關(guān)系。比較：
Tired as he was, he sat up late studying at night. 昨晚他雖然很疲倦了，但還是學(xué)習(xí)到很晚才睡。(表讓步)
Tired as he was, he went to bed early. 因?yàn)楹芾郏运煤茉纭?/FONT>(表原因)
Young as he was, he was equal to the task. 他雖年輕，卻能勝任這項(xiàng)工作。(表讓步)
Young as he was, he was not equal to the task. 他因?yàn)槟贻p，所以不能勝任這項(xiàng)工作。(表原因)
3. 在美國英語中，人們通常用as…as引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句。如：
Cold as it was, we went out.=As cold as it was, we went out. 盡管天氣冷，我們還是出去了。
Successful as he is, he is not proud.=As successful as he is, he is not proud. 他雖成功了，但不驕傲。
