albeit作为conj.为什么在词典并没有看到跟句子的情况?
albeit cold outside, I feel warm in my heart.
Each of us tries to succeed in this world, albeit in different ways.
状语从句不是主语一致且为主语+be才能省略吗?
Albeit为正式语体用词,它是由all be it 三个词合成而来。其中be为动词原型式虚拟语气。早期英语的让步状语从句谓语用动词原型式虚拟语气,后来用may do这种情态动词结构替代动词原型。所以albeit (all be it)的英语注释为:although it may be。由于albeit这个词本身就包含了主语(it)和谓语动词(be),所以后接的结构就不再有主语和谓语,而是接副词、形容词或介词短语。Albeit从句主要用来提供一个额外信息,该信息使得你刚说的话的口气有所减弱。所以,albeit从句不会用在句首,而是用在句末或插入句中。
以下为词典对albeit的释义和例句:
Origin albeit (1300-1400) all be it “although it may be”
Middle English, literally, all though it be
