英语语法:though和although都可以作“虽然”讲,区别一目了然

英语语法:though和although都可以作“虽然”讲,区别一目了然

though和although都可以作“虽然”讲,区别在哪里呢?

我们首先来看看它们的共同点。

though和although都可以引导让步状语从从句。though和although当“虽然”讲,都不能和but连用,但可以同yet(still)连用。比如说:

Though she was poor, yet she wanted to buy that dress.尽管她很贫穷,然而她还是想买那件礼服。

Although it wasn't dangerous, the teacher didn't allow them to swim.虽然不危险,老师还是不让他们去游泳。

两者的区别共有4点。

1.although比though更为正式,though普遍的运用于非正式的表述中。

2.在as though固定搭配中,though不可以替换成although。

3.although比though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,而不是假设或设想。比如说下面这两个句子:

He would not be unhappy though he should have to live alone.

就算一个人住,他也不会不开心。(假设)

He was not unhappy although he had to live alone.

虽然他不得不一个人住,却没有不开心。(实际发生)

4.though可以用作副词你,指“但是”,但是although不行。比如说:

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

他说他要来,但是他没有。

这种把though放在句尾表示“但是”,在口语中是非常高频使用的,我们要多加练习。

相信积累的力量。
