31 讓步狀語從句 Track30
（1）讓步狀語從句常用引導(dǎo)詞
常見的引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句的引導(dǎo)詞有though，although，even though，even if。此時，主句前不能用but，但可以用yet 或 still。
a.Though/Although he tried hard, (yet/still) he failed.
b.Although I didn't know anybody at the party, I had a very good time.
c.The family is the essential presence...—the thing that never leaves you, even if you find you have to leave it.
d.Although Mr. Smith studied art（A） in Paris, but his（B） writings attracted much（C） more interest than（D） his paintings.
正確答案：B，應(yīng)改為his，即把but去掉。
e.Although Professor Green's lectures usually ran over（A） the fifty-minute period, but（B） none（C） of his students even objected（D） as they found his lectures both informative and interesting.
正確答案：B，把but去掉。
（2）介詞表示讓步
although，though是連詞，因此后邊只接從句（有時是省略形式的從句），而介詞despite，in spite of，for all，notwithstanding只接名詞（短語）。
a.Though he was inexperienced, he did a very good job. = In spite of his inexperience, ...或In spite of his being inexperienced, ...
b.Although it was dangerous, ... = Despite the danger, ...
c.Though the weather was bad, ... = In spite of the bad weather, ...
d.Despite（A） fats and oils are nutritionally（B） important as（C） energy sources, medical research indicates（D） that saturated fats may contribute to hardening of the arteries.
正確答案：A，應(yīng)改為Though或Although。
e. _____what he achieved in medicine, he remained modest.
A. Despite
B. Although
C. If
D. Whereas
正確答案：A。
分析：因為這里what = things that, 引導(dǎo)的是一個名詞性從句，其本質(zhì)上相當(dāng)于一個名詞短語，故此處仍需要用介詞。用although只能說成：Although he achieved a lot in medicine, he remained modest.
f. ____tired, he wouldn't stop working.
A. Despite
B. For all
C. Though
D. Whereas
正確答案：C。
分析：這是一個省略的讓步狀語從句，原句相當(dāng)于：Though he was tired, he wouldn't stop working.
（3） while置于句首一般表示“盡管……”
while位于句首，一般意為“盡管……”，引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句。在很多閱讀文章中我們常見到while的這一用法。
a. While I sympathize with（同意） your point of view, I cannot accept it.
b. While many countries of the world celebrate their own Mother's Day at different times throughout the year, there are some countries such as Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, and Belgium which also celebrate Mother's Day on the second Sunday of May.
c.Now the U.S. Supreme Court has spoken. Let there be no doubt, while I strongly disagree with the court's decision, I accept it. And tonight, for the sake of our unity of the people and the strength of our democracy, I offer my concession. (Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore's concession speech)
d. While the government pushed for a total breakup of the software maker, Microsoft fought fiercely against any positions that would affect its ability to compete in the marketplace.
（4） no matter wh-
No matter + what/who/when/where/which/how可以代替whatever/whoever/whenever/wherever/whichever/however來引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句。
a.We have decided to do so, whatever happens.
b. Whoever may trouble you, I will help you to the last.
c. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value in God's eyes. The worth of our lives come not in what we do or who we know but by WHO WE ARE! You are special—Don't ever forget it!
無論我如何對待那張鈔票，你們還是想要它，因為它并沒貶值。人生路上，我們會無數(shù)次地被自己的決定和碰到的逆境擊倒、欺凌甚至碾得粉身碎骨。我們覺得自己似乎一文不值。但無論發(fā)生了什么，或?qū)⒁l(fā)生什么，在上帝的眼中，你們永遠不會喪失價值。生命的價值不依賴我們的所作所為，也不仰仗我們結(jié)交的人物，而是取決于我們本身！你們是獨特的——永遠不要忘記這一點。

c. As important as your obligation as a doctor, a lawyer or a business leader will be, you are a human being first, and those human connections with spouses, with children, with friends are the most important investments you will ever make. At the end of your life, you will never regret not having passed one more test, winning one more verdict, closing one more deal. You will regret time not spent with a husband, a child, a friend or a parent. Our success as a society depends not on what happens in the White House but on what happens inside your house. (America's Former First Lady Barbara Bush, to students at a college commencement)
盡管你們將來或許要成為一名醫(yī)生、一位律師或是一個商人而肩負重任，但首先你是一個平凡的人。因此，你與自己的配偶、孩子、朋友之間的親情或友情是最為重要的。在你生命臨終前，讓你感到后悔的不會是因為沒有多做一次醫(yī)學(xué)測試、沒能多打贏一場官司或沒有多做成一筆生意，而是后悔沒有多花時間陪你的丈夫、孩子、朋友或是父母。社會的發(fā)展進步依賴于每一個家庭，而不是白宮。（美國前總統(tǒng)布什夫人芭芭拉·布什在一所大學(xué)的畢業(yè)典禮上的演講）
d. As important as qualifications are, and you won't get to an interview without the qualifications, the most thing in fact is the character and how a person presents himself at interview. I find it very difficult to define exactly the sort of person I am looking for, but when I meet someone I can tell whether they are the sort of person that I would like to appoint or whether they are not.
在求職過程中，資歷固然很重要，因為若沒有很好的資歷，你是得不到面試機會的。但事實上，最重要的是你的個性以及在面談中如何去展現(xiàn)自己。有時很難確切地說我需要何種類型的人才，但是在面談過程中，我能夠判斷出他們是否是我所需要聘任的人。
