although與though
although與though都可以用作連詞,表示“雖然,盡管”,但有一定的差別。
although在用作連詞表示“雖然,盡管”時,多用在正式文體中,用來叙述已成立的事實等。通常although和though 可以換用。比如:
Although she is old, she can do it.她雖然年齡大了,但她能做這件事。He is always honest, although he is poor.他雖然貧窮,但很誠實。
though作為連詞,是個普通用詞。比如:Though I told them many times, they did not listen.雖然我告訴他們好多次了,但是他們就是不聽。
Though the boy studied very hard, he did not get good marks.雖然這孩子學習很努力,但就是考試成績不理想。
考點及要點:
1.在引導從句時,可将表語提前到though前面,構成部分倒裝,而although則不能。比如:Few though they were, they fought desperately.雖然他們人很少,但他們仍拼命戰鬥。
2.用though或者although引導從句,主句絕不能加but。
