1.although和though同義,在一般情況下,可以互換使用。只是though較普遍,常用于非正式的口語或書面語中,而although則較為正式。另外although語氣比though重,常用以強(qiáng)調(diào)讓步概念,如: Though/Although my car is very old, I don't want to buy a new one. 雖然我的汽車很舊,但我不想買一輛新的。 He insisted on doing it although I warned him not to. 雖然我警告他不要做,但他仍然堅(jiān)持要做。 He was in love with her, although he did not put that name to it. 他愛著她,雖然他沒有將其稱為愛。 2.even能和though組合表示強(qiáng)調(diào),但even不能和although組合。因此,不能說even although,在這里even though=even if(no matter if; though即使……也……),如: Even if/Even though we could afford it, we wouldn't go abroad for our vocation. 即使我們付得起這筆錢,也不出國度假。 3.當(dāng)讓步狀語從句指某種假設(shè)情況時(shí),通常用though,而不用although。如: Though all the world were against me, I should still hold to my opinion. 就算全世界都反對我,我還是堅(jiān)持我的立場。 Though everybody deserts you, I will not. 即使所有人都拋棄你,我也不會(huì)的。 4.though可以獨(dú)立用作副詞,常放在句末,意為all the same (還是;仍然)或however(可是;然而),而although無此用法。如: She didn't tell me what she had done, but I know it though. 她沒有告訴我她所做的事情,但我還是知道了。 It's hard work. I enjoy it, though. 工作很苦,可是我喜歡。 5.though引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句時(shí)可以倒裝,而although從句則不能。如:Bravely though they fought, they had no chance of winning. 雖然他們打得很勇敢,但還是沒有機(jī)會(huì)獲勝。 相同點(diǎn): 1.在although和though引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語從句中,主句里不可用but,若要強(qiáng)調(diào)前后兩部分的對比意義,可在主句前加yet或still。如: Although/Though he has a lot of money, yet/still he is unhappy. 他雖然有很多錢,但并不幸福。 2.although和though引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句時(shí),常采用省略形式。如:Although tired (=Although he was tired), he kept on working. 雖然很疲勞,但他繼續(xù)工作。 The problem, though complicated(=though it is complicated), can be solved without much difficulty. 這個(gè)問題雖然復(fù)雜,但解決起來不會(huì)有很大困難。
