一、although和 though的相同点
1. 二者都可作从属连词,引导让步状语从句,意为“虽然;尽管”。如:
Although/Though my
grandpa is old, he looks very strong and healthy.
虽然我的爷爷老了,但他看上去很健壮。
2. 二者用作连词时不能和but,however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.
他虽然独自生活,但很愉快。
She still went on
working, though it was late.
虽然很晚了,但她还继续工作。
二、although和 though的不同点
1. 两者都意为“虽然,尽管”,并可换用,但although语气较重,且正规,多用于书面语,通常放在句首并用于正式场合。如:
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,用于部分倒装句式中(注意:倒装后若句首是名词,名词之前不用冠词)。如:
Successful though he
is, he is not proud.
他虽然成功,但不骄傲。
Poor though she is,
she is happy.
虽然她穷,但过得很幸福。
Child though he was, he
did quite well.
他虽然是个孩子,但做得很好。
3. although只用作连词,而though 除作连词外,还可用作副词,意为“可是,不过”,常置于句末,句子较长时,也可置于句中。如:
I don’t have a
computer. I’d like to have one, though.
我没有电脑。不过我想有一台。
He did reply, though
not immediately.
他确实回复了,不过不是立刻回复。
4. 在even though(即使),as though (好像;仿佛)等固定短语中,不能使用although代替though。如:
She wouldn’t change
it, even though she knew it was wrong.
尽管她知道这错了,她也不肯改变。
You look as though you
slept badly.
你好像没睡好觉。
