although和though的用法

字號:

1.兩詞同義并可換用,但although語氣較重,通常放在句首并用于正式場合。如:
    I'd quite like to go out, (al)though it is a bit late. 我很想外出,雖然為時稍晚。
    Although it was snowing, it was not very cold. 雖然下著雪,但并不很冷。
    2.用though 時,可將強(qiáng)調(diào)的詞前置,但although 不能。as也有此種倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)。如:
    Poor though / as he is , he is happy.雖然他窮,但過得很愉快。
    Child though / as she was, the actress was drawing a crowd. 盡管還是個孩子,這個女演員卻引起了人們的注目。(child前無冠詞a)
    3. although 引導(dǎo)從句常指事實(shí),而though 引導(dǎo)的句子可表假設(shè)。如:
    Let's start as arranged though it rains tomorrow. 即使明天下雨,咱們也按預(yù)定的計(jì)劃出發(fā)吧。(假設(shè))
    He was not unhappy although he had to live alone. 雖然得一個人生活,他毫無不快之感。(事實(shí))
    4.although 只用作連詞,而though 除作連詞外,還可用作副詞,常置句末,句子較長時,也置于句中。如:
    It's hard work, I enjoy it though. 這是苦差事,可我干得頗有樂趣。
    There's no excuse, though , for hurting her feelings. 傷到她的感情一事,還是不可原諒。
    5.though 可用于even though, as though 等結(jié)構(gòu),although則不能。如:
    Even though I fail, I'll keep on trying. 我縱然失敗,仍會繼續(xù)嘗試下去。
    You look as though (=as if ) you know each other. 看起來你們好像彼此認(rèn)識。
    6. although 和 though 用作連詞時不能和but連用,但可跟yet, still 等連用。如:
    Although he lives alone, yet he is happy. = He lives alone, but he is happy. 他雖然單獨(dú)生活,但很愉快。
    7.though 常用于省略句。如:Though (he is) alone, he is happy.
