Granting (that) you are right, you should not treat her that way.
5) even though“尽管”,even if“即便” even though 的用法
even though ( = despite the fact that)意为“即使,纵然”,把引出的从句当成既成事实,语气较强烈。
I'm going to apply for the job, even though it pays very little. 我打算申请这工作,尽管报酬很少。
He is an honest man, even though I have opposed him.他为人诚实,尽管我反对过他。 even if的用法
even if ( = whether or not it is a fact)意为“即使”,把引出的从句当成假设。指某种可能的情况不会阻止另一种情况发生,有条件的含义(主将从现)。

即使明天下雨,我也要走着去看他。
Even if we achieve great success in our work, we should not be conceited.
即使我们在工作中取得了很大的成绩,也不应该自满[k?n?si:t?d]。 whether ... (or not) 的用法
① whether?(or not) “无论是? 还是”,指把正反两种情况考虑在一起也不会影响事情的结果。从句用现在时表示将来。
Whether we win or lose, we are going to do our best. 无论是赢还是输,我们都要尽最大努力。
Whether you like it or not, you'll have to do it. 不管你喜不喜欢,你都得去做。 ② whether从句中的动词为be 时,可用动词原形be,这种虚拟式为相当正式的表达形式。

We must finish the work whether it be early or late. 无论时间早晚,我们必须干完这工作。 说明:当whether作“是否”解时则不能用现在式表将来。例如:(从句用将来时表将来)
Can you tell me whether it will rain or not tomorrow? (是否)
Whether it will do us more harm than good remains to be seen. (是否) 6) “疑问词+ ever”或“no matter+ wh-”意为“无论”引导
whoever, whichever, whatever, whenever, wherever, however no matter who, no matter which, no matter what, no matter when, no matter where, no matter how 疑问词+ever的用法
疑问词+ ever构成的词含有 “无论,尽管”等让步意义。用于加强语气。
It has the same result whichever way you do it. Whatever happens, we shall never lose hope. However cold it is, she often goes swimming. no matter + wh-的用法
no matter后接wh-构成的疑问词含有“无论,尽管”的让步意义,与“疑问词+ ever”构成的疑问词含义相同。
No matter who you are, you must obey the law. Come and see me no matter when you want to.
No matter where you work, you must always do your best. 说明:whoever, whichever, whatever有名词性质,可作主语或宾语;whichever, whatever具有形
容词性质,可修饰名词。
7)连接副词nevertheless意为“然而,尽管如此”,表让步。 nevertheless 的用法 意为“然而”,表示转折,将前后 两件事情进行对照。位于句中时,注意正确使用标点符号。
We disliked each other; nevertheless, we agreed.
The news may be unexpected; nevertheless, it is true. 这消息可能出乎意料,然而,它是真的。
6. 目的状语从句
目的状语从句表示主句中的动作或状态发生的目的或动机。由于目的状语从句都是推定性的,所以从句常与情态动词can/could,may/might, should, would 连用,由下列引导词引导:
in order that, so that; for fear that, lest; in case 等 (lest [lest] 免得,以免;唯恐) 1) in order that“目的是为了 ...”; so that“以便” in order that 的用法
in order that表示“主句行为的目的是为了实现或满足从句的行为”, 谓语动词通常由情态动词can/ could,may/might构成。有时可位于主句之前。in order that 一般用于正式文体。
He works hard in order that he can serve his country well. We started early in order that we might arrive before dark. In order that every student might understand it. I explained the passage once again. so that的用法 ① so that“以便”,引导的目的状语从句与in order that同义,但它总放在主句之后,且不用逗号与主句分开。常由 can/could, will/would 构成,偶尔可用may/might代替 can/could。
I'll give you all the facts so that you can judge for yourself. He wrote down everything so that he could remember it. He got up early so that he wouldn't be late. He wrote it down so that he might remember it. ③ 口语中,用so that引导的目的状语从句可以省略that。
I'm saving money so (that) I can buy a car. Bring it closer so (that) I can see better. I packed him a little food so (that) he wouldn't be hungry.
2) for fear that“生怕”,含义为“生怕某种不好的事会发生”; lest“以免”,意为“以防备某事会发生;为了不让某事发生” for fear that 的用法
for fear that引导的从句表示反面的目的,有“唯恐,以免”之意,从句 中常用 may, might,或should,有表示虚拟的含义,若表示可能实现或可能发生的事,也可不用虚拟。
He walked fast for fear (that) he should be late.
He worked hard for fear that he might be fired by the boss. 他努力工作,唯恐被老板解雇。 Shut the window for fear (that) it may rain.
He goes home early everyday for fear that his wife would be angry. lest的用法
① 这是个较古旧的连词,只用于正式文体,表示否定的目的,含义为“免得,以防,为了不?”。从句的谓语动词经常用“(should) +动词原形”形式,且常位于主句之后。
I let them go out lest I should be bothered. 我让他们去了外边,免得他们打扰我。 She came into the room quietly lest she ( should) wake up her baby.
I avoid mentioning the subject lest he be offended. 我避开了这个话题,免得冒犯他。 ② 现代英语用下列形式取代: for fear that, so that ... not, in order that ... not取代 lest
I hid the book lest he should see it. I hid the book for fear that he should see it. I hid the book so that he could not see it. I hid the book in order that that he might not see it. 3) in case“以防”,指“为将来情况做必要的防备” in case的用法
① in case表示“主句行为的目的是 为了应对从句会出现的情况”,常位于主句之后,且多用陈述语气。
I'll keep my phone turned on in case you call and need help. 我把手机开着,也许你会来电求助。
I’ll stay in the hotel in case there is news of Harry. 我会待在旅馆,以防错过有关哈里的消息。
② 有时从句用虚拟语气,且常由“should +动词原形”构成。
They watched him closely in case he should escape. 他们严密监视他,唯恐他会逃脱。 ③ 注意:表示目的,为将来情况做准备的in case与表示条件的if含义上的区别。
I'll bring an umbrella in case it rains.(指无论是否下雨, 我都会带把雨伞。) I'll Bring an umbrella if it rains.(指只有在会下雨的情况下我才带把雨伞。) ④ 引导条件状语常位于句首。
In case I forget, please remind me of my promise. 假如我忘 记了我的诺言,请提醒我一下。 说明: ① 如果in order that, so that表目的的句子为否定句时,可与for fear that, in case表目的的肯定句互相转换。
I stayed on in order that/so that + (否定句) he would not feel lonely. I stayed on for fear that/in case + (肯定句) he felt lonely.
He closed the windows in order that/so that + (否定句) he would not catch cold. He closed the windows for fear that/in case + (肯定句) he might catch cold. ②“for +动名词”不用于表目的,但“for +名词”可用于表目的。例如:
Write it in simple English to make (不能用for making) everybody understand. 为了能让大家都理解,请用简单的英语写。
Better get up early for the early train. 为赶上早班火车,最好早些起床。 ③ 下列介词短语加动名词可用于表目的:
for the sake of(因为?的缘故) for the purpose of(为了?的目的) with the purpose of(怀着?的目的) with a view to(为的是/着眼于?) with the aim of(其目的是?) with the intention of(怀着?的意图)
7. 结果状语从句
结果状语从句表示主句中某一动作或状态所产生的结果,主句是原因,从句是结果,主要由下列引导词引导: so that, so?that; such that, such ... that; but (that/what);连接副词 as a result, therefore, consequently 等 1) so that“所以”,so?that“如此?以至于” so that的用法
so that意为“所以,因此”,引出的结果状语从句多不用情态动词, 必须主句在前,从句在后,且用逗号分开。口语中that常可省略, so成为并列连词(a-c)。有时可省略so,仅用that连接结果状语,但不再用逗号分开 (d-e)。
a) He made a wrong decision, so that half of his property was lost.
b) He didn't plan his time very well, so (that) he didn't finish the work in time. c) I had gone to bed very late, so I felt tired in the morning. d) I got up very early (s0) that I was in time for the first train.
e) What has happened that you all look so excited? 是什么事让你们显得如此兴奋? so ... that的用法 so ... that意为“(如此)...以至于/因此”,so是程度副词,在so 后可形成如下结构:

a) The box is so heavy that nobody can move it. b) He runs so fast that we cannot catch him.

2) such that “(是)这样(以致)”;such ... that“如此?以至于” such that的用法 such that意为“(是)这样(以致)”,such在句中用作代词,作主句的表语,that是连词,引导主句导致的结果。
His progress was such that it surprised his teachers.他的进步很大,使他的老师都感到吃惊。 His behaviour was such that everyone disliked him. 他的行为太不像话,大家都讨厌他。 The job is such that it demands the greatest skill. 这种工作要求高超的技术。 such ... that 的用法 such?that意为“(是)这样 (以至于)”,口语中that常可省略。such可形成如下结构:

a) It was such a foggy day that we could hardly see the road.
b) They are such fine sons and daughters of the people that we all hold them in great respect.

3)but (that/what) “而不”。(注意:but 意为 “that ... not”)
but (that/what)的用法
① 引导结果状语从句时,主句常为否定含义的句子。因为 “but = that ... not”,所以构成前后双重否定。通常可以将句子翻译为“没有?不”,或用肯定形式表达。
He is not so old but that he can walk. 他并未老到不能走路。
It never rains but it pours. 不雨则已,一雨倾盆。/不来则已, 来则不止。(谚语) I never see you but I think of my brother. 我每次见到你就会想 起我的哥哥。 ② 主句为肯定含义时,but that引导的是条件状语从句,含义为“若不是”。
I would go abroad but that I am short of money. 若非因为缺钱,我早就出国了。 I should have failed but that you helped me. 倘若没有你的帮助,我早已失败了。 4) as a result, therefore, consequently
连接副词as a result, therefore, consequently表示因果关系。这些连接副词后引出的句子表示结果,但它不是从句,因此要注意标点符号的使用(通常前面用分号,后面加逗号),有时可以写成两个句子。 主句(原因) 连接副词 Our teacher was sick; as a result, I don't know much about computers; therefore, The weather is very severe; consequently, 以上句子也可以写成两个句子,前面用句号,后面加逗号: Our teacher was sick. As a result, I don't know much about computers. Therefore , 有时可以在前面加and,并用逗号将两个句子分开: It rained, and therefore Our teacher was sick, and as a result

方式状语描述主句动作或状态的方式或方法,由下列引导词引导: (just) as; (in) the way (that) ; as if, as though 等 1) (just) as“就像,正如” (just) as的用法
