书上说,由as(虽然)引导让步状语从句,习惯上只能用倒装形式,而且倒装后用于句首的名词习惯上不能连用冠词。如:
Boy as he is, he likes to play with girls. 他虽是个男孩,但却喜欢与女孩子玩。
Teacher as Michael is, he is not capable of teaching all subjects. 迈克虽是老师,但他也不能教所有的科目。
但如查名词前带有形容词修饰语呢?它的前面也不用冠词吗?如:
Clever boy as he is, he likes to play with girls.
Experienced teacher as Michael is, he is not capable of teaching all subjects.
还是?
A clever boy as he is, he likes to play with girls.
An experienced teacher as Michael is, he is not capable of teaching all subjects.
没错,当as(虽然)引导让步状语从句时,习惯上要用倒装形式,而且倒装后置于句首的名词习惯上不能连用冠词,此时即使是单数可数名词,其前也不用不定冠词。如:
Little child as he is, he knows to help other. 他虽然是个小孩子,但知道帮助别人。Big puzzle as it was, it hadn’t got the better of Jim. 虽然是个大难题,但仍没有难倒吉姆。
Strong man as he is, General Botha has been severely put to the test during the past few weeks. 波赛将军虽然坚强,在过去的数周里也受到了严重的考验。
下面的句子摘自2005年高考英语的重庆卷,注意 quiet student 前没有用冠词:
Quiet student as he may be, he talks a lot about his favorite singers after class. 尽管他可能是一个比较安静的孩子,但他在课后却会大谈他最喜爱的歌手。
