英语语法：although 与 though用法辨析

although 与 though用法辨析

1. 用作连词

两者均可用作连词，表现“固然”，常可换用，只是although比though更为正式。如：

Although [Though] she didn’t say anything I sensed (that) she didn’t like the idea. 她固然什么也没说，但我已熟悉到她不喜好这个主意。

两者所引导的从句均可有所省略。如：

Although [Though] divorced they continued to live under the same roof. 他们已经仳离了，但仍旧同住在一座屋子里。(Although / Though 后省略了 they were)

2. 用作副词

although一样寻常不必作副词，而though可用作副词，且一样寻常放在句末(不放在句首)，意为“但是”“不外”。如：

It’s hard work; I enjoy it though. 事情很辛劳，但是我乐意干。

3. 用于习语

在 as though(仿佛，仿佛), even though(即使，纵然)等安稳短语中不克不及用 although。如：

He talks as though he knew anything. 他纸上谈兵仿佛一无所知。

I like her even though she can be annoying. 只管她偶然很恼人，但我照旧喜好她。

4. 用于倒装

though 引导的让步状语从句可用局部倒装的情势(注意：倒装后位于句首的名词之前不必冠词)，但 although 一样寻常不如许用。如：

Poor though I am, I can afford it. 我虽穷，但这东西照旧买得起的。

Child though he was, he did quite well. 他虽是孩子，但干得很好。

固然如许用的though 不克不及换成although，但可换成 as。如：

Try as [though] I would, I could not prevail upon him to follow my advice. 只管我久有存心，我仍不克不及压服他照我的意见行事。
