as/though引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語從句,其倒裝形式為:
“副詞/形容詞/名詞/動(dòng)詞+ as (though, that) +主語+謂語”,相當(dāng)于although引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語從句。
Young as (though) he is , he knows a lot.
盡管年齡小,他知道的卻很多。
Strange as it may appear , it is true.
盡管顯得奇怪,但卻是真的。

盡管位于市場(chǎng)附近,這房子卻很安靜。

盡管我失敗了,我還要嘗試。
Much as we tried , we failed to get the expected result.
盡管我們?cè)嚵撕芏啻?,還是沒有得到期待的結(jié)果。
2)提前的表語是單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞時(shí),名詞前不加a/an;但是有形容詞修飾的名詞前置時(shí),不定冠詞不能省略。
Girl as she is , she is brave and outstanding.
盡管她是個(gè)女孩,卻很勇敢出眾。
A little child as he is , he can speak two foreign languages.
盡管他是個(gè)小孩子,卻能講兩門外語。
3)動(dòng)詞提前后,主語后還應(yīng)有一個(gè)情態(tài)動(dòng)詞may, might等或助動(dòng)詞do等。
