1、精讲 although 与 though 1. although 较正式，语气强；though 较常用。现代英语中两者可随意换 用。如： Although / Though he was tired, he went on working. 虽然他很累， 但他还是继续工作。 2. although 和 though 引导的从句放在主句前后均可，有时还可放在句中。 如： He often helps me with my English although / though he is quite busy. 尽管他相当忙，但是还常常帮我学英语。 3. although, though 引导的从句
2、不能与 but, however 连用，但可与 yet, still 连用。如： Although /Though he was old, he worked hard.= He was old, but he worked hard.虽然他老了，但是还是努力工作。 4. though 有时指假设的情况，不指事实，从句用虚拟语气；although 不 能这样用。如： Einstein cared little for money, though he could have been very rich. 尽管爱因斯坦本可以成为非常富有的人，但他对金钱却不感兴趣。 5. though 引导的从句
3、，可用倒装语序，即把从句中的表语或状语放到 though 之前；although 却不能这样用。如： Young though she is, yet she is fit for the job.尽管她很年轻，可 她还是胜任这项工作的。 6. though 从句的主谓语若是系表结构时，可以省略从句主语和 be 动词。 如： Though alone, he is happy. 虽然他独自一人，却很幸福。 7. though 还可与别的词结合使用，如 even though, as though 等； although 则无这种搭配功能。如： Ill go and help them even
4、 though I stop my work. 即使我停下自己 的活不干，我也要去帮助他们。 8. though 还可作并列连词，相当于 and yet（然而，可是），它引导的分 句常对另一分句起补充说明作用；although 则无这种用法。如： I wouldnt like to go to the evening, though they will invite me to. 我不想去参加晚会，可是他们要请我去。 9. though 可用作副词，放在词尾。although 却不可这样用。如： He said he would come, he didnt, though. 他说要来却没来。
