高中英语必修三Unit4：Learning-about-language

Unit4 Learning about Language长难句型精析although引导让步状语从句的用法归纳拓展：1. as也可以表示“尽管”，引导让步状语从句，但此时要用倒装语序,其结构是“名词/形容词/副词/动词+as+句子其他成分”。

此结构中，当名词为可数名词单数时，前边不加冠词。

2. 当though、although或while引导状语从句时,不可以同时用but。

但是可以和yet或still连用。

教材原文Although its origin may still be a puzzle, the moon can never be anything more than a satellite of the earth.尽管它的起源可能依旧是个不解之谜,但月球不过是地球的一个卫星。

经典例句①Although/Though everyone played well, we lost the game.尽管每个人都打得不错,我们还是输了比赛。

②Though he was going to Edinburgh, he was in no hurry.虽说就要去爱丁堡了，他却并不慌忙。

③While I understand what you said, I can’t agree with you.尽管我理解你的话，却不能同意你的观点。

④Hard as I tried to explain to him, he still didn’t understand.尽管我尽力向他解释,他仍然不懂。

注意：in spite o£/despite 表示“尽管”时和though/although 的区别：in spite of/despite是介词，后面接名词（短语）,though/although是连词，后面接从句。

即时训练完成句子1. 尽管他还是个孩子,他却很成熟。

Child he is, he is very mature.2. 即使天在下雨，她也要走着去工作。
