今天分享托福雅思精选100句中第二十句的分析。
Although pecans are most plentiful in the southeastern part of the United States, they are found as far north as Ohio and Illinois.虽然美洲山河桃树最集中于美国的东南部,但是在北至俄亥俄州及伊利诺州也能看见它们。
句型结构:这是一句含让步状语从句的主从复合句,主句主干“they are found“是”主-系-表“结构,并且是被动语态,后面”as far north as Ohio and Illinois“是”as far + as”介词短语作程度/范围状语。
知识点:although引导让步状语从句
何为让步状语从句?就是含有“虽然”、“尽管”、“纵然”、“即使”、“退一步说”等意思的状语从句。引导让步状语从句的都是含有这个意思的连词,除了本例句中的although,还有though, as, even if, even though, despite, in spite of, no matter+疑问词,whether…or…,疑问词-ever, regardless of等等。
而本例句中的从句就是由although引导的让步状语从句。Although引导让步状语从句时,有以下几个特征:
第一,although一般放在比较正式的语气中。并且可用于倒装
【例】Although Tom was ill, he went on studying. = Ill although Tom was, he went on studying. 虽然Tom病了,但他依然继续学习。
第二,although引导的让步状语从句可放在主句之前,也可放在主句之后,还可放在句中。
【例】Although Tom was ill, he went on studying.
【例】Tom often go home to visit his parents although he is quite busy. 虽然Tom特别忙,但是他还是经常回家看望父母。
第三,although引导的让步状语从句不能与but、however连用,需强调转折的时候,常使用yet, still, nevertheless代替。
一般情况下,although与but是不能共存的,用了一个,就不能用另一个。
第四,although不能作并列连词,也不能作副词
第五,although不能单独放在句首或句尾
第六,although不能表假设
很多小伙伴分不清Although 与 though,因为它们有很多的相同点
第一,他们意思相同,有时候可以互换,它们引导的状语从句既可放在主句前也可放在主句后
【例】Although / Though the product process is simple, its quality is very good.虽然这个产品工艺很简单,但是品质很可靠
【例】All employees work hard although / though the work condition are extremely arduous 虽然工作环境异常艰苦,但所有的员工仍然很努力工作
第二,两者引导的状语从句后都不可以接转折连词but,当需要表达前后对比时,在主句前使用yet, nevertheless, still等词来替代
【例】Although/Though Tom know the difficulty, still he shall do. 虽然Tom知道这很难,但是他仍然要去做
第三,两者引导的状语从句里的主语与谓语be相同时,从句中的主语与be可以省略
【例】Although / Though (Tom is) young, he is quite experienced. 虽然Tom很年轻,但他非常有经验
但是在有些时候他们的用法还是有区别的。
第一,上面有提过even though也是常用来引导让步状语从句的,我们可以知道though常与even连用。而although则不可以。
【例】Tom will not ask Ada even though she should be willing to help。Tom不向Ada求助,虽然她很乐意帮忙。
第二,在强调让步的倒装句中,though可代替as来引导让步状语从句,而although则不能
【例】Hot though it was, they went out. 天气虽然很热,他们仍然外出了。
第三,当让步状语从句表假设时,一般用though, 而不能用although。这时,从句通常用虚拟语气的动词形式“动词原形/should+动词原形”,主句用陈述语气。
【例】Though the task be extremely hard, Tom shall not give up. 即使任务异常艰难,Tom依然不放弃。
第四,though可以放在句尾,但是although不可以。
【例】Tom should not do it, Ada could though. 虽然Tom都不能做这件事,但Ada还是能做好
