3, Though Verrazano is by no means considered to be a great explorer, his name will probably remain immortal, for on November 21st, 1964, the greatest bridge in the world was named after him.
though / although / even though 均引导让步状语从句，相当于中文中的“虽然…,但是…”
在让步状语从句中，如果用了though, although 就不能再使用but了, 但是可以用yet。这是中文和英文的一个小差异。
e.g. Though they managed to start the car in the beginning, yet they got in trouble soon. 虽然一开始他们成功地发动了车，但是很快他们就陷入麻烦了。
by no means 决不，绝对不 （加强语气）
e.g. It is by no means pleasant to take a crowded bus.乘坐一辆拥挤的公交车无论如何不是一件令人高兴的事。
by no means=not… by any means=not at all 一点也不
e.g. He isn’t satisfied with the job at all. = He is not satisfied with the job by any means.
总结表示“决不”的词组：
in no way\in no case\in no sense \in no circumstances\ on no account\ at no time\ by no means
表示“命名”的词组：be named after\be named for\take one’s name from
