令人頭痛的英文文法:「讓步子句倒裝」是什麼?
「讓步子句」是用來表達「語氣轉折」或「與預期不同」的子句。常以連接詞 although 及 though 所形成,表達「雖然;即使」,想強調特定語意時,會使用「倒裝句型」表示,以下介紹:
倒裝句型:
adj. / adv. + as/though + S1 + beV/V1, S2 + V2…
1. although 與 though 常可互通使用,但倒裝時,although 不可與 though 替換
Although/Though the tickets were expensive, the show was worth the money.
→ Expensive as / though the tickets were, the show was worth the money.
雖然這場演出的票價很貴,但是很值得。

→ Quickly as / though I ran, I didn't reach the station on time, so I missed the train.
雖然我跑得很快,但我還是沒有準時抵達車站而錯過了列車。
2. 讓步子句的倒裝句型不可與連接詞 but 用於同一句
