IV. Grammar 语法
Review the usage of adverbial clause of condition and adverbial clause of concession. 复习条件状语从句和让步状语从句的用法
1.条件状语从句
条件状语从句用于表示主句谓语动词所表示的动作产生的条件。常用的引导词有:if(假如,如果);unless(除非,若不,除非在……的时候);as/so long as(只要……,就……);only if(除非,只要……就,只有,只有当……);supposing(如果,假如);in case(以防,万一);on condition (that)...(在条件……下,引导的条件从句是主句事件发生的前提条件或唯一条件)。
在条件状语从句中,用一般现在时代替一般将来时。
(1)As long as you promise to come, I’ll wait for you until you come.
只要你答应, 我就等你来。
(2)You can make progress only if you are modest.
只有虚心,才能进步。
(3)Don't forget to take your umbrella in case it rains.
别忘了带伞,以防下雨。
(4)Supposing it rains tomorrow, shall we have the sports meeting
假如明天下雨, 我们还会开动会吗?
2.让步状语从句
让步状语从句表示在某种相反的条件下,主句中的情况依然会出现。有时要用部分倒装结构。常用的引导词有:though/although(虽然,尽管,但是,然而);even if/even though(即使,纵然);as(尽管);in spite of(不顾;虽然;尽管……);以及“no matter + 疑问词”或“疑问词 + 后缀ever” 等。让步状语从句可以放在主句前或主句后。
(1)Although she has a lot of money, yet (still) she is not happy.
尽管她很有钱,然而她并不快乐。
(2)Even if it rains tomorrow, I won't change my plan.
即使明天下雨,我也不会改变计划。
(3)as引导让步状语从句时需要倒装。
Child as he is, he knows a lot.(名词提前)
尽管他是个孩子,他却懂得很多。
Improbable as it seems, it's true.(形容词提前)
虽然看起来不太可能,但却是真的。
Raining hard as it is, I'm going out for a walk.(分词短语提前)
尽管下着大雨,我还是要出去走走。
(4)“no matter + 疑问词”或“疑问词 + 后缀ever”
no matter what = whatever
no matter who = whoever
no matter when = whenever
no matter where = wherever
no matter which = whichever
no matter how = however
No matter what happened, he would not mind.
= Whatever happened, he would not mind.
无论发生什么事,他都不会介意的。
No matter how (what, when, which, who, where) ...
无论怎样(什么,什么时候,哪一个,是谁,什么地方)……。
注意:no matter ... 不能引导主语从句和宾语从句。
