  • 词义辨析

    although, though

    这两个词都可表示“虽然”。它们的区别是:
    1.although的语气较重,引导的句子常指事实; though引导的句子可表示假设。
    2.though可以引起从句的主语和谓语部分倒装,而although不可。
    3.although只用作连词; 而though除用作连词外,还可用作副词。另外,though可用作并列连词,也可用作从属连词;而although只能用作从属连词。
    4.though可用于even though, as though, what though等结构; 而although不能。

    though,although,as,even though

    这些连词都可表示“虽然,尽管”之意。
    though和although在意义上几乎毫无区别,但在习惯用法上这两个词仍有以下一些差异:1.though可引出倒装语序的让步状语从句,although 则不能。2.though可与even连用,although则不能;在as though结构中,只用though,不能用although。3.though可以置于从句末,而although则不能。4.引出省略句时,通常用though。
    although与though在意义上相似,但文体上是比较正式用词,语气比though强。
    as引出让步状语从句只用于倒装语序结构中,语气强于上述两个连词。
    even though(=even if),意为“即使”,引导让步状语从句。though也引导让步状语从句,意为“虽然”;even though有退一步设想的意味,与though不同。though引导的句子所说的是事实,even though引导的句子所说的则不一定是事实。例如:
