Although/ while/even though/whereas 用法区别混考区别的方法1Although: 12While: 18Whereas: 24Even though: 26混考区别的方法 SC/thread-35969-l-l.html1. Although可做让步+转折,Although*句子放句首相当于though,放句中相当于but;though只用于让步;but只能用作转折;2. 注意转折平行的引导词,but/although,出现时左右要平行3. Contract to/ In contract with相当于despite,后面只能接抽象名词,而despite+名词短语4. With引导让步状语从句没有even though好用5. Even though/although/while在逻辑上是可以相容的,此时根据其他考点排除选项,例 如简洁有效,重复累赘6. 重复:even though与yet/but不能同时出现Even though there be 错7. Even if 词典 used to emphasize that something will still be true if another thing happens Shes going to have problems finding a job even if she gets her A levels. Even though 词典 used to emphasize that something is true although something else has happened or is true .Even though hes 24 now, hes still like a little child.对比可知,even if所接的东西是虚拟的,假设A发生了,B还是会发生。Even though,虽然A发生了,强调B仍旧会发生.Even if+句子,不能加名词8. Despite (介词)+名词短语,强调部分Despite出现经常使句子成分残缺,或表现不出原句的含义,如因果Despite+n+that/分词结构,容易造成句子累赘且表意不明,这东西没在划线部分正选中出 现过,考过非划线部分要加名词短语9. as opposed to sth,不能加从句as opposed to sthused to compare two things and show that they are different from each otherStudents discuss ideas, as opposed to just copying from books.10. just as=even as在比较的时候是一个错误的用法,但可以用于举例,正如,代替like。使 用前提,不破坏原文的平行或固定搭配。similar to+n无法强调动作的相似性,常用just as/as+句子代替like+n,不能加句子similar to 放句首必错in spite of =despite 加短语正确用法:(Just) as从句,主句(Just) as从句,so主句(Just )as 从句,so too 主句11. 平行,主谓一致,固定搭配,简洁性原则用词准确性12. Gmat 中 while 用作 used to emphasize the difference between two situations, activities etc 为多。AS和WHILE都加句子表示伴随的时候,区别不是很大,看其他考点排除13. 在对比两物时,while强调两者的相同之处,而whereas强调两者的区别,14. while不能用于举例比较。要用just as或原文本身平行结构15. 无论文中出现那个表示转折的词语,都是要平行,简洁为先,就算哪个选项转折词用对 了,他不简洁或破坏平行都错16. as表示while和when,没有while直接17. 必错选项:while beingAlthough there beEven though there beAs beingDespite+句子(一般出现despite就错了)18. XDF: although,though, even though 优先大于 contrary, with 做句首even though / although despite, in spite of (石林语法)把 LIKE 换成 SEEM,AS 换成 AS IF 一定错。As though = as if (石林) 对有些不可能是转折关系的,必须把BUT改成AND。(石林)1.in spite of 2.because of 都有问题 contrary to+抽象名词,修饰整个句子不存在逻辑主语问题。C+人名,错 In contrast with/to+名词,比较对象等。unlike 固定搭配:unlike x1, x2 do;unlike/like+名词,放句首表比较Despite (介词)+名词短语,强调部分Although+句子even though+句子,强调整体while只有放句首才表示让步,放句中表示两者的比较(while there be错)19. 与其他用法对比:Even though和although同时放句首,作用相同,看其他考点排除。而放句中时,表转 折, even though 容易造成句子破碎20. while, whereas, or althoughThe use of while to show contrast is common and accepted in informal usage. In formal writing, howev,erwhile should be reserved to show that two or more events occur at the same time. In the following sentence, the two events are occurring simultaneously.Measurements were taken while the specimen was rotating in the rig. For comparisons and contrasts, whereas and although should be used instead of while.Positions are logged manually, whereas temperatures and pressures are recorded automatically by the thin-film sensors. These two events happen in different ways. They do not necessarily occur at the same time.Although positions are logged manually, temperatures and pressures are recorded automatically by the thin-film sensors. The meaning of this sentence is similar to the previous one, but it places moreIndiscriminate use of while where whereas or although would be more appropriate can even result in ambiguity and misunderstanding:While my cat, Princess, eats quickly, she enjoys a leisurely stroll.Does she do both at the same time? Using whereas or although in this sentence would clear up the confusion.In each sentence, select the best choice for formal writing:While /Although the method is efficient for most applications, it can produce errors when small, irregularly shaped specimens are tested.Place the sample into the rig while / whereas the power is off.The Structures Division had responsibility for the fan blade design, while /whereas the Materials Division was to develop the composite material for the blade. (The two projects are not necessarily happening at the same time.)While /Although the experiment was thermal cycling, an inert atmosphere was maintained to avoid oxidation of the aluminum framework.The single-crystal material is somewhat stronger, while /whereas the composite is significantly lighter.Make sure that excessive pressure is not applied while / whereas the surfaces are in contact with each other.while 一般用在非正式英语中。正式英语中,while表示对比概念的时候,两个事物要是同 时发生的。(进一步说明了 while表达两个动作同时发生的特性) whereas则是重点表示事物的强对比性,而两者不一定是同时发生的。在当同时出现while和whereas,而句子是要表达两者的强对比概念时,应该使用whereas 而 although 是表示让步的意思。用while/whereas/although主要还是看句子意思。强调同时发生用while,强调对比用whereas,表让步用 although21. Although:1 句首,相当于 though 句中,相当于 but:2 Although +句子(主谓宾或者形式主语在前的句子)Although 通常加句子,而如果 although 后面没有主语和完整的谓语则错3 Although there be 句型必错Although* 主动although*被动 Although 和 yet 不能同时出现使用前提:不能破坏平行,遵从主谓一致,表达文中应有意识22. While:1 While连词,表示during,加句子或短语连词,表示although,加句子,引导平行(可能形式不一致,具体分析)2 必错选项:while being破坏原文平行结构无法显示原文的因果关系 原文需要 and 来表示并列的时候不能用 while 照成句子结构累赘3 WORD CHOICE: during, while!
