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。
2. 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。
3. 副词+ as / though + 主语+ 动词Much as I like Paris, I couldn’t live there. 尽管我喜欢巴黎,但我不能住在那里。
Hard though they tried, they couldn’t make her change her mind. 尽管他们做了很大努力,却没法让她改变主意。
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。
