2016职称英语语法：引导让步状语从句中的倒装

当连词as 表示“虽然、尽管”引导让步状语从句时，句子要倒装，as 相当于though,可以替换。

如：

Small as/though the atom is, we can smash it.

尽管原子很小，我们可以击碎它。

Tired as/though he was, he went on working.

(=Although he was very tired, he went on working.)

虽然他很累，他还是接着工作。

Cold as/though it was, we went out. 虽然天气冷，我们还是出去了。

Child as/though she is, she knows a great deal.

她虽然是个孩子，但她懂得很多。

Teacher as he is, he knows little about teaching.

尽管他是个老师，但不懂什么教学。

Pilots as he claims he is, no one has ever seen him fly a plane.

尽管他声称是个飞行员，但谁也没见过他非飞机。

注意后四句是可数名词单数作表语并提前，习惯上不用冠词。
