在正式文体中，as（用于特殊语气）可以表示although。though也可以这样用。这种结构可以表示非常强烈的对照。
Cold as it was,we went out.(=Although it was so cold,we went out.)尽管天气很冷，我们还是出去了。
Tired as I was, I went on working.(=Although I was very tired,...)我虽然很累了，可是我仍然继续工作。
Bravely though they fought,they had no chance of winning.虽然他们打的很勇敢，但是没有可能获胜。
有时as用于这种结构时，可以表示“because”。
Tired as she was, I decided not to disturb her.
因为她累了，我就决定不打扰她了。
as还有一种用法，也要用特殊词序。
He was a Catholic,as were all his family.
他是个天主教徒，他全家都是天主教徒。
