我查了一下《牛津英语用法指南》,这个问题Swan的观点前后有变化:

事实上,国内出版的好多语法著作还没有来得及更新,比如章振邦教授的《新编英语语法》就有以下例句:

这是单选题吗? CD都对吧?

正:Country girl though she is, she has the manners of a lady.

正:Country girl as she is, she has the manners of a lady.

不过,这类用法不能用 although

误:Country girl although she is, she has the manners of a lady.

更多例句:

Bravely though / as they fought, they had no chance of winning.

Disgusting though / as it looked, it was actually quite tasty. 

Frightened though / as she was, she forced herself to pick up the snake.

Scarce though / as food became, they always found enough to share with me.

Confident though / as she felt, she knew the examination would not be easy. 

Confident though / as she felt, she knew the examination would not be easy. 

Successful though / as their new products have proved, the company is still in financial difficulties.

这道题应该选C

因为Country girl是名词,所以后面必须用though, 不能用as,而且名词不用冠词。只有前面为形容词/副词的情形下,后面的as/though才可以互换。所以ABD是错的。

斯旺的《牛津英语用法指南》(第四版,2016)第255词条有相关解释:

255 as and though:

After a noun, though can be used in this way (but not as).

该书例句:Scot though she was, she supported the English team

                   Cold as/though it was, we went out. (= Although it was very cold,...)

                   Bravely as/though they fought, they had no chance of winning.

另外,WR论坛母语的人也有相似解答:

表示“虽然”的连词as和though都可以引导让步状语从句,放在作表语的名词后面(从英英词典和英汉词典中可以查到有关的例句)。所以,C. Country girl though she is  D. Country girl as she is,都应该是正确的。但是,《牛津英语用法指南》第四版认为,在这种用法中,as 不可以”用在名词之后。(详见255节)因此,如果作为单项选择题,命题人提供的答案应该是C. Country girl though she is
