though,although引导让步状语从句时,后面的主句不能有but,however,但是可与yet,still连用。
1. although和though同义,在一般情况下,可以互换使用。只是though较普遍,常用于非正式的口语或书面语中,而although则较为正式。另外although语气比though重,常用以强调让步概念。
e.g. Though/Although my car is very old, I don't want to buy a new one.
同义句:My car is very old, but I don't want to buy a new one.
虽然我的汽车很旧,但我不想买一辆新的。
2. even能和though组合表示强调,但even不能和although组合。因此,不能说even although,在这里even though=even if(no matter if; though即使……也……)
e.g. Even if/Even though we could afford it, we wouldn't go abroad for our vocation.
即使我们付得起这笔钱,也不出国度假。
3. 当让步状语从句指某种假设情况时,通常用though,而不用although。
e.g. Though all the world were against me, I should still hold to my opinion.
就算全世界都反对我,我还是坚持我的立场。
4. though可以独立用作副词,常放在句末,意为all the same (还是;仍然)或however(可是;然而),而although无此用法。
e.g. She didn't tell me what she had done, but I know it though.
她没有告诉我她所做的事情,但我还是知道了。
5. although和though引导让步状语从句时,常采用省略形式。
e.g. Although tired (=Although he was tired), he kept on working.
虽然很疲劳,但他继续工作。
