讓步子句意思

讓步子句(concessive clause)是用來表達雖然有某種情況存在,但不影響另一個事實或觀點。這種子句通常用於表明雖然有某些障礙或問題,但不會改變或削弱主句所表達的主要觀點。讓步子句通常由讓步連詞引導,如 "although," "though," "even though," "despite," "in spite of," "while," "whereas," "nevertheless," "still," "yet" 等。

例如:

  1. Although she was tired, she continued to work. 雖然她很累,但她繼續工作。

  2. Though it was raining, we decided to go ahead with the picnic. 雖然天下雨,我們決定繼續野餐。

  3. Despite the difficult circumstances, they managed to succeed. 儘管情況艱難,他們還是成功了。

  4. While I understand your point, I cannot agree with it. 雖然我明白你的觀點,但我無法同意。

  5. Nevertheless, we should try our best. 儘管如此,我們應該盡力而為。

讓步子句可以用來軟化語氣,顯示對對方觀點的尊重,或者提供更多的背景信息,而不會改變主句所表達的主要信息。
