第291句 流行时尚
When a new movement in art attains a certain fashion, it is advisable to find out what its advocates are aiming at, for, however farfetched and unreasonable their principles may seem today, it is possible that in years to come they may be regarded as normal.
译文：当艺术领域的一项新运动成为某种流行时尚时，最好弄清楚该运动倡导者的真实意图。因为，不管他们的原则在今天看来是多么牵强，多么不切实际，多年以后他们或许会被视为正常。
点睛：本句是由for连接的两个表示因果关系的并列句，并列句中的两个分句都是复合句。整个句子的主干为it is advisable to find out…for…it is possible that...。for之前为表结果的分句，结构为when引导的时间状语从句+主句；该主句的主干为it is advisable to..., it是形式主语，真正的主语是不定式结构，其中又包含了由what引导的宾语从句。for之后为表愿因的分句，结构为however引导的让步状语从句+主句；该主句的主干为it is possible that.，其中it依然是形式主语，真正的主语是由that引导的从句。句中attain应理解为“发展成”。however意为“无论如何”。be in fashion意为“流行的”。farfetched意为“牵强的；不切实际的”。
考点归纳：让步状语从句是英语九大状语从句之一，主要用来表示让步关系，即“虽然，尽管，即使”等概念。让步状语从句的引导词包括：
although尽管 though尽管 while尽管 as虽然 that虽然 however无论怎样 whatever无论什么 whoever无论谁 whomever无论谁 whichever无论哪个 whenever无论何时 wherever无论哪里 however无论怎样 whether是否 even if即使 even though即使 no matter(who、what、where、when、how)无论…
*由though和although引导的让步状语从句。though和although都表示“虽然，纵然”之意，在一般情况下可以互换。在口语中，though较常用，although叱though正式，二者都可与yet、still或nevertheless连用，但不能与but连用。
Though it is true that one must not live in the past, It is important to use the past to learn from his mistakes.
尽管人不该生活在过去，但从过去的错误中汲取教训却是重要的。
Although/Though he is very old,( yet) he is quite strong.
他虽然年纪大了，但身体还很健壮。
*由as和though引导的让步状语从句。as引导的让步状语从句必须以部分倒装的形式出现，被倒装的部分可以是表语、状语或动词原形。though有时也用于这样的结构中，但although不可以这样用。
Hard as/though he works,he makes little progress.
=Though he works hard.he makes little progress.
尽管他学习很努力，但几乎没取得什么进步。
*由no matter十疑问词／疑问词+后缀ever引导的让步状语从句。
no matter what= whatever
no matter who= whoever
no matter when= whenever
no matter where= wherever
no matter which= whichever
no matter how= however
例如：
No matter what you do, do with your might.
= Whatever you do, do with your might.
无论你做什么，都要尽力而为。
*由ever if/even though引导的让步状语从句。
We'll make a trip even though the weather is bad.
即使天气不好，我们也要去旅行。
*由whether...or...引导的让步状语从句。
Whether you believe it or not，it is true.
信不信由你，这确实是真的。
adv. 仍然，不过
conj. 然而，不过
