Though the sore be healed,yet a scar may remain.

伤口虽愈合，但伤疤留下了。（谚语）

典型例题

1）she is young,she knows quite a lot.

A.When　B.However C.Although D.Unless

答案：C。意为虽然她很年轻，却知道许多。

2)as,though引导的倒装句

as/though引导的让步从句必须表语或状语提前（形容词、副词、分词、实义动词提前）。

Child as/though he was,he knew what was the right thing to do.

=Though he was a small child,he knew what was the right thing to do.

注意：a.句首名词不能带任何冠词。

b.句首是实义动词，其他助动词放在主语后。如果实义动词有宾语和状语，随实义动词一起放在主语之前。

Try hard as he will,he never seems able to do the work satisfactorily.

=Though he tries hard,he never seems…

虽然他尽了努力，但他的工作总做的不尽人意。

3)ever if,even though.即使

We‘ll make a trip even though the weather is bad.

4)whether…or-不管……都

Whether you believe it or not,it is true.

5)"no matter+疑问词"或"疑问词+后缀ever"

No matter what happened,he would not mind.

Whatever happened,he would not mind.

替换：no matter what=whatever

no matter who=whoever

no matter when=whenever

no matter where=wherever

no matter which=whichever

no matter how=however

注意：no matter不能引导主语从句和宾语从句。

（错）No matter what you say is of no use now.

（对）Whatever you say is of no use now.

你现在说什么也没用了。(Whatever you say是主语从句)

（错）Prisoners have to eat no matter what they‘re given,

（对）Prisoners have to eat whatever they‘re given.囚犯们只能给什么吃什么。

从so do I谈起

两人对话，乙方对甲方的问话常可用简短回答作出反应。例如：Do you like it?--Yes，I do.这同样适用于陈述句的场合：You worry too much．--No，I don‘t.在后一种情况下，乙方也能"So＋do＋主语"之类的结构表示看法。

例如甲方说"我喜欢苹果"，乙方如果想表示"我也喜欢苹果"，英语可以说：

A：I like apples.

B：So do I．（＝I like apples，too。）

这里的so在意义上相当于in the same way，即同样、也那样，作简短反应表示同样看法时常用之。
