Ⅰ. although conj. “盡管、雖然”引導讓步狀語從句,相當于though. 只是比though稍微正式些。多用于句首。though用于非正式文體中,較普遍,但以下幾種用法,不能用although. 如:
① 表強調時,要用even though,如:
Even though I didn’t understand a word, I kept smiling.盡管我一字不識,我還是一直微笑著。
②. Though可用在倒裝句中,如:
Young though he is, he is quite experienced. 他雖然年輕,但很有經驗。
③ though 可作副詞,表示“然而”放在句末或其它位置。如:He said he would come, he didn’t though.他說他要來,結果他卻沒來。
[此外],although不用著副詞。在英語中如果用了although 或 though, 就不能再有but,但可以用yet 或still; 反之,如果用了but , 就不能用although 和 though. 如:
① Although he is in poor health, (yet) he works hard. = He is in poor health, but he works hard. 雖然他身體不好,但他工作仍努力。
②Although it was so cold, he went out without an overcoat.雖然天氣很冷,他未穿外衣就出去了。
③ He is quite strong, although very old. 他雖然很老了,但還是十分健壯。
Ⅱ. though 常用作連詞,“雖然”。在口語中還用著副詞,一般放在句末,意為“可是、然而”等。如:
① He didn’t light the fire, though it was cold. 天氣雖很冷,他卻還沒生火。
② Though it was very late, he went on working. 雖然很晚了,他還是繼續工作。
③ He said he would come, he didn’t, though. 他說他來,可是結果他沒有來。
