Chúng ta sẽ cùng nhau đi qua từng câu một nhé!
Bài tập 3: Viết lại câu, bắt đầu bằng từ trong ngoặc.
Trước khi bắt đầu, chúng ta cùng ôn lại một chút về cách dùng của các liên từ này nhé:
Cấu trúc chung:
Although / Though / Even though + Clause 1 (mệnh đề chỉ sự nhượng bộ), Clause 2 (mệnh đề chính).
Hoặc: Clause 2 + Although / Though / Even though + Clause 1.
* Although và Though có nghĩa tương tự nhau và có thể dùng thay thế cho nhau trong hầu hết các trường hợp. “Though” thường được dùng ở cuối câu hoặc trong văn nói thân mật hơn.
* Even though mang nghĩa nhấn mạnh hơn “although” và “though”, nó thể hiện sự “ngay cả khi”, “mặc dù là vậy mà”.
Trong bài tập này, chúng ta sẽ tập trung vào việc đưa hai mệnh đề của câu ban đầu vào cấu trúc với các liên từ này.
Bây giờ, chúng ta cùng bắt tay vào giải từng câu nhé!
1. She has plenty of money, but she is very mean. (although)
=> Although she has plenty of money, she is very mean.
* Giải thích: Câu gốc có hai mệnh đề được nối với nhau bằng “but”. Mệnh đề “She has plenty of money” (Cô ấy có nhiều tiền) và mệnh đề “she is very mean” (cô ấy rất keo kiệt) là hai ý trái ngược nhau. Chúng ta dùng “although” để nối hai mệnh đề này và đặt nó ở đầu câu. Mệnh đề thứ hai “she is very mean” trở thành mệnh đề chính.
2. They have a car, but they rarely use it. (though)
=> Though they have a car, they rarely use it.
* Giải thích: Tương tự như câu 1, hai mệnh đề “They have a car” (Họ có một chiếc ô tô) và “they rarely use it” (họ hiếm khi sử dụng nó) có sự đối lập. Chúng ta sử dụng “though” ở đầu câu để nối chúng.
3. He was innocent, but he was sent to prison. (although)
=> Although he was innocent, he was sent to prison.
* Giải thích: Sự vô tội và việc bị tống vào tù là hai điều trái ngược. Chúng ta dùng “although” để diễn tả sự nhượng bộ này, đặt nó trước mệnh đề “he was innocent”.
4. He has a number of relatives living nearby, but he never visits them (even though)
=> Even though he has a number of relatives living nearby, he never visits them.
* Giải thích: Việc có nhiều người thân ở gần và việc không bao giờ ghé thăm họ là một sự đối lập rõ rệt. “Even though” được dùng để nhấn mạnh hơn sự đối lập này.
5. She never takes any kind of exercise, but she is quite fit and healthy. (even though)
=> Even though she never takes any kind of exercise, she is quite fit and healthy.
* Giải thích: Không tập thể dục mà vẫn khỏe mạnh và cân đối là một điều ngạc nhiên. “Even though” giúp thể hiện rõ sự ngạc nhiên này.
6. The keyboard wasn’t working well. She tried to finish the letter (although)
=> Although the keyboard wasn’t working well, she tried to finish the letter.
* Giải thích: Bàn phím không hoạt động tốt thường cản trở việc hoàn thành thư, nhưng cô ấy vẫn cố gắng. “Although” cho thấy sự nỗ lực bất chấp khó khăn.
7. The forecast said it would rain. It turned out to be a beautiful day. (although)
=> Although the forecast said it would rain, it turned out to be a beautiful day.
* Giải thích: Dự báo mưa và một ngày đẹp trời là hai điều trái ngược. “Although” giúp nối hai thông tin này, cho thấy kết quả khác với dự báo.
8. I’m no better. I’ve taken the bill. (even though)
=> Even though I’ve taken the bill, I’m no better.
* Giải thích: Việc “lấy hóa đơn” (có thể hiểu là đã thanh toán hoặc nhận trách nhiệm) không giúp tình hình tốt hơn. “Even though” nhấn mạnh rằng sự việc đã diễn ra nhưng kết quả không như mong đợi.
9. The traffic was bad. I arrived at the airport on time. (though)
=> Though the traffic was bad, I arrived at the airport on time.
* Giải thích: Giao thông tồi tệ thường khiến đến muộn, nhưng cô ấy vẫn đến đúng giờ. “Though” được dùng để chỉ sự nhượng bộ này.
10. I didn’t get the job. I had all necessary qualifications. (though)
=> Though I had all necessary qualifications, I didn’t get the job.
* Giải thích: Có đủ mọi bằng cấp cần thiết mà không nhận được việc làm là một điều đáng tiếc và đối lập. “Though” diễn tả sự trái ngược này.
11. We enjoyed the vacation. It rained a lot. (although)
=> Although it rained a lot, we enjoyed the vacation.
* Giải thích: Mưa nhiều thường làm hỏng kỳ nghỉ, nhưng họ vẫn tận hưởng. “Although” thể hiện sự tận hưởng bất chấp thời tiết không thuận lợi.
12. She felt sick. She went to work. (though)
=> Though she felt sick, she went to work.
* Giải thích: Cảm thấy ốm thường khiến người ta nghỉ ngơi, nhưng cô ấy vẫn đi làm. “Though” nhấn mạnh sự quyết tâm hoặc trách nhiệm của cô ấy.
13. I was really tired. I couldn’t sleep. (even though)
=> Even though I was really tired, I couldn’t sleep.
* Giải thích: Khi rất mệt, người ta thường dễ ngủ, nhưng ở đây lại ngược lại. “Even though” nhấn mạnh sự mệt mỏi tột độ mà vẫn không ngủ được.
14. He is very rich. He isn’t happy. (although)
=> Although he is very rich, he isn’t happy.
* Giải thích: Giàu có thường được cho là mang lại hạnh phúc, nhưng ở đây lại không đúng. “Although” nối hai mệnh đề để chỉ ra sự đối lập.
15. She couldn’t answer the question. She is very intelligent. (though)
=> Though she is very intelligent, she couldn’t answer the question.
* Giải thích: Một người thông minh thường có thể trả lời câu hỏi, nhưng cô ấy lại không làm được. “Though” diễn tả sự ngạc nhiên này.
16. He tried. He was not successful. (though)
=> Though he tried, he was not successful.
* Giải thích: Nỗ lực thường dẫn đến thành công, nhưng ở đây thì không. “Though” cho thấy sự nỗ lực nhưng không đạt được kết quả mong muốn.
17. His life is hard. He determined to study well. (although)
=> Although his life is hard, he is determined to study well.
* Giải thích: Cuộc sống khó khăn có thể làm nhụt chí, nhưng anh ấy vẫn quyết tâm học tập. “Although” thể hiện sự kiên cường vượt qua nghịch cảnh.
18. He was wise and experienced. He was not taken in. (though)
=> Though he was wise and experienced, he was not taken in.
* Giải thích: Sự khôn ngoan và kinh nghiệm thường giúp một người không bị lừa gạt. Ở đây, “though” dùng để chỉ rằng mặc dù có những yếu tố đó, anh ấy vẫn không bị mắc lừa (điều này có thể hiểu là một sự đáng khen, hoặc ngụ ý rằng anh ta vẫn có thể bị lừa, tùy ngữ cảnh, nhưng cấu trúc câu là nhượng bộ).
Các em thấy đó, việc sử dụng “although”, “though”, “even though” giúp câu văn của chúng ta phong phú và giàu ý nghĩa hơn rất nhiều. Hãy luyện tập thật nhiều để nắm vững cách dùng nhé! Cô chúc các em học tốt!
