although
although conj. “尽管、虽然”引导让步状语从句,相当于 though. 只是比 though 稍微正式些。多用于句首。though 用于非正式文体中,较普遍,但以下几种用法,不能用 although. 如:
① 表强调时,要用 even though, 如:
Even though I didn’t understand a word, I kept smiling.
尽管我一字不识,我还是一直微笑着。
② Though 可用在倒装句中,如:
Young though he is, he is quite experienced.
他虽然年轻,但很有经验。
③ though 可作副词,表示“然而”放在句末或其它位置。如:
He said he would come, he didn’t though.
他说他要来,结果他却没来。
[此外] 在英语中如果用了although 或 though, 就不能再用 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.
虽然他身体不好,但他工作仍努力。
② Although it was so cold, he went out without an overcoat.
虽然天气很冷,他还是未穿外衣就出去了。
③ He is quite strong, although very old.
他虽然很老了,但还是健壮。
though
though 常用作连词,“虽然”。在口语中还用作副词,一般放在句末,意为“可是、然而”等。如:
① He didn’t light the fire, though it was cold.
天气虽很冷,他却还没生火。
② Though it was very late, he went on working.
虽然很晚了,他还是继续工作。
③ He said he would come, he didn’t, though.
