所谓让步就是指说话者不情愿地退而言之。像 although/though(虽然)、as(尽管)、even if/though(即使)、however(无论[如何]),whatever(无论[什么]),whoever(无论[谁])、no matter wh-(不论)连接的句子,都可以表示这种让步意思。如:
Although it was so cold, he went out without an overcoat. 天气虽然很冷, 他没有穿大衣就出去了。
Ridiculous as it seems, the tale is true.这个故事看似荒唐,却是真的。
He's the best teacher, eventhough he has the least experience. 他虽然经验最少,却是最出色的老师。
However much you may entreat him, you will get little or nothing. 无论你向他恳求多少,你都不会得到什么东西的。
Whatever your argument, I shall hold to my decision. 不论你如何争辩,我将坚持我的决定。
He is game for anything no matter how dangerous it is. 无论这件事有多么危险,他都敢去做。
All stories seemed dreadfully alike, no matter who told them. 看来,不管谁讲,故事都是千篇一律的。
No matter what you say, I like to listen. 不管你说什么,我都喜欢听。
