conj. (连词)
  1. though引导让步状语从句时表示一种假设的情况或含有推测的意味,从句的谓语动词可用陈述式,也可用虚拟式; 有时为了强调让步的意义,可采用倒装语序。
  2. 在用though连接的从句中,谓语是be,而从句的主语与主句的主语相同时,从句的主语与be可同时省略。
  1. 区别althoughthough:though可以做副词,指“但是”,但是although不行。as though属固定搭配,这里though不能替换成although。although要比though来得更正式,相对而言,语气比较重,但是though的使用更普遍。although引导的从句,常指实际发生的事情,而不是假象,设想。though和although都可在从句中用作连词,通常表示相同的意思,但though更普遍适应于非正式的表述中;

    He said he would come, he didn't, though.
    句中的though不能替换成although。

    He would not be unhappy though he should have to live alone.
    就算要一个人住,他可能也不会不开心。

    He was not unhappy although he had to live alone.
    虽然他不得不要一个人住,却没有不开心。

  2. though已表示“然而,可是”,在句中,不可再与but连用。

    Though he lives alone, but he is happy.
    句子中的but要删掉。

  3. though引导的句子有时有特殊的格式。值得注意的是,句子 Though loving him, I cannot help him是不成立的,因为没有though I was loving这一说法。

    Though he lives alone, he is happy.
    句子中的“he lives”可以省略掉。

conj. (连词)
though, although
  • 这两个词都可表示“虽然”。其区别是:
  • 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
  • 这些连词均可表示“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:
