as though引导的倒装句
As引导让步状语从句倒装的用法
一、名词 + as / though + 主语 + 动词
King as he was,he was unhappy. 他虽是国王,但他并不幸福。
Child as he is,he knows to help other. 他虽是个孩子,却知道帮助别人。
【说明】其中的动词通常为连系动词,也就是说位于句首的名词是其后连系动词的表语。另外,要特别注意位于句首的名词前习惯上不用冠词,即使其前有形容词修饰也不用冠词。比较:
Boy as [though] he is, he likes to play with girls.=Though he is a boy,he likes to play with girls. 他虽是男孩,却喜欢与女孩子玩。
Strong man as [though] he is,General Botha has been severely put to the test during the past few weeks.= Though he is a strong man, General Botha has been severely put to the test during the past few weeks. 波赛将军虽然坚强,但在过去的数周里也受到了严峻的考验。
二、形容词 + as / though + 主语 + 动词
Successful as he is,he is not proud. 他虽然成功,但不骄傲。
Improbable as it seems,it’s true. 虽然看起来不太可能,但却是真的。
Stupid as it sounds,I was so in love with her that I believed her. 尽管听起来很愚蠢,我是如此爱她竟然相信了她的话。
Patient as he was,he didn’t like waiting that long. 他虽说有耐心,也不愿等这么长。
Beautiful though the necklace was,we thought it was over-priced. 那条项链虽然很漂亮,我们认为价钱太高。
【说明】其中的动词也通常为连系动词,也就是说位于句首的形容词是其后连系动词的表语。
三、副词 + as / though + 主语 + 动词

Fast as you read, you can’t finish the book in two days. 尽管你读得很快,你总不能在两天之内就读完这本书。
He was unable to make much progress,hard as he tried. 尽管他做了努力,却未能取得很大进步。
【说明】有的词典将 much as 作为习语看待,认为它是一个用以引导让步状语从句的复合连词。再如:
Much as I admire him as a writer,I do not like him as a man. 他作为一名作家我很佩服他,但我却不喜欢他这个人。
Much as I like you,I couldn’t live with you. 我尽管很喜欢你,却不能和你在一起生活。
四、动词原形 + as / though + 主语 + 动词
