巧辨although与though
?
1.两词同义并可换用,但although语气较重,通常放在句首并用于正式场合。如:
I'd?quite?like?to?go?out,?(al)though?it?is??a?bit?late.??我很想外出,虽然为时稍晚。
Although?it?was?snowing,?it?was?not?very?cold.?虽然下着雪,但并不很冷。
2.用though?时,可将强调的词前置,但although?不能。as也有此种倒装结构。如:
Poor?though?/?as?he?is?,?he?is?happy.虽然他穷,但过得很愉快。
Child?though?/?as?she?was,?the?actress?was?drawing?a?crowd.?尽管还是个孩子,这个女演员却引起了人们的注目。(child前无冠词a)
3.?although?引导从句常指事实,而though?引导的句子可表假设。如:
Let's?start?as?arranged?though?it?rains?tomorrow.?即使明天下雨,咱们也按预定的计划出发吧。(假设)
He?was?not?unhappy?although?he?had?to?live?alone.?虽然得一个人生活,他毫无不快之感。(事实)
4.although?只用作连词,而though?除作连词外,还可用作副词,常置句末,句子较长时,也置于句中。如:
It's?hard?work,?I?enjoy?it?though.?这是苦差事,可我干得颇有乐趣。
There's?no?excuse,?though?,?for?hurting?her?feelings.?伤到她的感情一事,还是不可原谅。
5.though?可用于even?though,?as?though?等结构,although则不能。如:
Even?though?I?fail,?I'll?keep?on?trying.?我纵然失败,仍会继续尝试下去。
You?look?as?though?(=as?if?)?you?know?each?other.?看起来你们好像彼此认识。
6.?although?和?though?用作连词时不能和but连用,但可跟yet,?still?等连用。如:
Although?he?lives?alone,?yet?he?is?happy.?=?He?lives?alone,?but?he?is?happy.?他虽然单独生活,但很愉快。
7.though?常用于省略句。如:Though??(he?is)?alone,?he?is?happy.?
