维多利亚瀑布（Victoria Falls）位于非洲赞比西河中游、赞比亚与津巴布韦接壤处,是世界上最壮观的瀑布之一。瀑布上的水雾形成的彩虹景色十分迷人，瀑布的声响可在数公里外听到。因此，当地人称之为“莫西奥图尼亚”，意为“霹雳之雾”。Though conj. 虽然，尽管

have opposed him.
尽管我反对过他，我还得说他是一个诚实的人。4).用于倒装
Though引导的部分让步状语从句可用部分倒桩的形式(注意:倒装后位于句首的名词之前不用冠词)，但although一般不这样用。
Poor though I am, I can afford it.我虽然穷，但这东西还是买得起的。5. But in my opinion, man-made wonders are more exciting than natural ones.
但是, 在我看来, 人造奇观比自然奇观更激动人心。
