让步,顾名思义,就是退一步讲的意思.中学英语常见的引导词是一些表示“虽然”“尽管”“即使”的though,although,if,even though(if),等.
例如：
They are generous although they are poor.虽然穷他们却很大方.
Though we are poor,we are still happy.我们虽然穷,仍然很快活.
再如：
He is an honest man,I must say,even though I have opposed him.尽管我反对过他,我还得说他是一个诚实的人.
还需要指出的是：中学英语有一个关于让步状语从句的倒装问题.规则是：as引导的句子必须倒装,though引导的可倒装可不倒装,although引导的不能倒装.
e.g.Hard as he tried,he still failed.(他虽然努力了,但仍然失败了.)
Though he tried hard,he still failed.
Hard though he tried,he still failed.
Although he tried hard,he still failed.
