as可引导让步状语从句,表示“虽然、尽管”,但要用部分倒装结构,形式如下:
1. 形容词 + as + 主语 + 系动词。如:
Tired as he is, he offers to help me.
尽管他已经很累了,他还是主动提出帮助我。
2. 过去分词 + as + 主语 + 系动词。如:
Well-written as the book is, the author is not satisfied and prepared to revise it.
尽管这本书写得很好,作者还是不满意并打算修改它。
3. 名词 + as + 主语 + 系动词。如:
Student as he is, he does not study hard.
他虽然是个学生,却不努力学习。
4. 副词 + as + 主语 + 谓语部分。如:
Much as I admire his courage, I don’t think he acted wisely.
我虽然崇拜他的勇气,但我认为他这样做是不明智的。
5. 动词原形 + as + 主语 + 谓语的另一部分(情态动词或助动词may, might, will, would等)。如:
Try as you will, you won’t be able to persuade him.
不管你怎么努力,你都说服不了他。
