核心问题
“新娘尽管快乐,但起初会想家。
[误] Though happy the bride is, she will feel homesick at the beginning.
[正] Happy as the bride is, she will feel homesick at the beginning.
[正] Though the bride is happy, she will feel homesick at the beginning.
[说明]though 连接的从句不用倒装,可改用 as,或改为正常词序。”(《英语正误辨析词典》,上海外语教育出版社,1995年,p.351)
该书作者说“though连接的从句不用倒装”的说法是否准确?
词典解答
这是我国英语著作很常见的说法。但是,这种说法是不准确的。其实,though连接的从句也可以采用倒装语序:
Happy though the bride is, she will feel homesick in the beginning.
