Munching the apple as he was, he had got an eye for all Johns movements. 他尽管在一个劲地嚼着苹果,但仍警惕着约翰的一举一动。
【三条补充说明】
1. 这类倒装的让步状语从句可用as, though 来引导,但不能用although来引导;但是,未倒装的让步状语从句则可用though, although来引导,而不能用as来引导。也就是说,although引导让步状语从句时不能倒装,as引导让步状语从句时必须倒装,而though引导让步状语从句时可以倒装也可以不倒装。如:
虽然很晚了,但我们还是继续工作。
正:Late as [though] it was, we still went on working.
正:Though [Although] it was late, we still went on working.
误:Late although it was, we still went on working.
误:As it was late, we still went on working.
2. 上面提到的倒装结构有时也可用来表示原因,区别的办法主要看句子的内容:让步从句的内容大多数与主句在意义上相反,而原因从句则与主句之间有因果关系。比较:
Tired as he was, he sat up late studying at night. 昨晚他虽然很疲倦了,但还是学习到很晚才睡。(表让步)
Tired as he was, he went to bed early. 因为很累,所以他睡得很早。(表原因)
