中学英语课本中的让步状语从句

英语表达让步意义的方式很多,其中让步状语从句是最主要的方式。为了帮助大家更好地掌握这方面的内容,现将教材中出现的几种让步状语从句归纳说明如下: 一、由though(although)引导的让步状语从句,意思是“虽然”、“尽管”。此时,though与although意义相同,可以相互替换。当从句位于句首时,较多地使用although。例如: 1.…though he was defeated in the election,he became famous for his fiery speeches against slavery.(试SBI,P.43)尽管竞选失败,他仍因其慷慨激昂的反对奴隶制的演说而闻名。
