_____ more Americans are getting married today than ever before, the divorce rate is also on the rise.


A. Since B. If C. While D. Once


这题选C,while表示虽然,但A since表示既然,这里涉及虽然和既然的逻辑不同,不了解老师有没好的办法?

解答如下:

While more Americans are getting married today than ever before, the divorce rate is also on the rise.

参考译文:虽然/尽管目前目前开始结婚的美国人比以前要更多了,但离婚率也在增长。

A. Since 既然(引导缘由状语从句);自从(引导时间状语从句)

B. If 假如(引导条件状语从句)

C. While虽然/尽管(引导让步状语从句);当...时候(引导时间状语从句)

D. once 一旦,(引导条件,时间状语从句)

以上句子为从属连词,引导让步状语从句,意思为“虽然,尽管”

while, conj.虽然;尽管
