9. 让步状语从句

让步状语从句由although(尽管), though(尽管), however(无论怎样),whatever(无论什么), whoever(无论谁), whomever(无论谁), whichever(无论哪个),whenever(无论何时), wherever(无论哪里), whether(是否), no matter (who, what, where, when) (无论……), even if(即使), even though(即使)等词引导。

We won’t be discouraged even if(=even though) we fail ten times.我们就是失败十次也不泄气。

It was an exciting game, though / although no goals were scored.

那是一场精彩的球赛,尽管一个球都没进。(though, although不能与 but连用)

Whether you believe it or not, it’s true.不管你信不信,这是真的。

However (=No matter how) expensive it may be, I’ll take it.无论它有多贵,我也要买下它。

Don’t let them in, whoever(=no matter who) they are.不管他们是谁,别让他们进来。

No matter what I say or how I say it, he always thinks I’m wrong.无论我说什么或怎么说,他总认为是我错。

连词as也可以引导让步状语从句,但从句中要用特殊语序。如:

Young as he is, he knows a lot=Though he is young 或Young though he is, he….

他虽然年轻,但懂得很多。(though 也有这种用法,可以替换as,但although没有这种用法)

though还可以用作副词,放在句末。如:

It was hard work;; I enjoyed it, though=It was hard work, but I enjoyed it.那工作很苦但是我喜欢干

一般情况下,unless相当于if…not,可以互换。如:

I won’t let you in unless you show me your pass = I won’t let you in if you don’t show me your pass.如果你不出示通行证,我就不让你进来。

3. 原因状语从句

表示原因的状语从句可以由as(由于),because(因为), since(既然),now (that) (既然), for (由于)considering that(顾及到), seeing that(由于)等连词引导:

I do it because I like it.因为我喜欢我才干。(because不能与 so连用)

He couldn’t have seen me, because I was not there.他不可能见过我,因为当时我不在那儿。

Seeing (that) quite a few people were absent, we decided to put the meeting off.由于好些人都没到会,我们决定延期开会

Now that/Since you are all here, let’s try and reach a decision.既然大家都来了咱们就设法做一个决定吧

As she was ill, she didn’t come to the party.由于病了,她没来参加晚会。

Considering that they are just beginners, they are doing quite a good job.考虑到他们才刚刚学做,他们干得算很不错的了。

★because, as, for , since 的区别

类别
用法
例句
because
because语气最强表示不知道的原因时用because,即说话人认为听话人不知道,因此because从句是全句最重要的部分,通常它被置于主句之后。下列情况下只能使用because:
①在回答why的问句时;②在用于强调句型时;
③被not所否定时。
You want to know why I’m leaving? I’m leaving because I’m full.
for
for的语气不及because, since, as强,为并列连词,引导的分句常放在主句之后,从句前通常用逗号,表示说话者为所做的推断和预测提供理由,或对前一分句进行补充和解释。如果不是因果关系,而是对前面主句的内容加以解释或推断时,只能用for。
It’s morning now, for the birds are singing.(很显然,鸟叫不可能是“现在已是早上”的原因。)
as/since
表示已经知道的原因时用as或since,即某种原因在说话人看来已经很明显,或已为听话人所熟悉,因此它是句中不很重要的部分。since要比as正式一些,它们通常被置于语句之前,但有时却相反。
Seeing all of the children already seated, he said,“Since everyone is here, let’s start.”
