7．The air seemed thin，as though its combination of gases had little oxygen left.(教材P18) 空气似乎很稀薄，好像在混合的气体中剩下很少的氧气。 本句是一个由as though引导的方式状语从句构成的复合句。as though/if的含义是“好像；似乎”。如： The animal was walking as though it had hurt its leg. 这个动物走路的样子好像伤了腿似的。 as though/if引导方式状语从句或表语从句时，通常用虚拟语气，表示与事实不符或相反的情况。如果as if/though引导的从句谓语动词与主句谓语动词所表达的动作同时发生，as if/though从句谓语动词用过去时；如果as if/though引导的从句谓语动词所表达的动作先于主句谓语动词动作，as if/though从句谓语动词用过去完成时；如果as if/though引导的从句谓语动词所表达的动作后于主句谓语动词所表达的动作，as if/though引导的从句谓语动词用过去将来时；如果与事实相符合，则用陈述语气。 She treats the orphan as if he were her own son. 她对待这个孤儿就好像对待自己的亲儿子一样。 He behaved as if nothing had happened. 他表现得若无其事。 She looks as if she were angry. 看她的表情，她好像生气了似的。 【提示】　(1)当从句主语与主句主语一致，且从句谓语又包含动词be时，从句主语和谓语中的动词be通常可省去。 (2)当句子的主语与as if从句的主语一致时，as if后跟动词不定式、现在分词或过去分词。 【对接高考】　 (2011·湖南高考)Jack wasnt saying anything，but the teacher smiled at him he had done something very clever.
