�、�. although conj. “盡管、雖然”引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句，相當(dāng)于though. 只是比though稍微正式些。多用于句首。though用于非正式文體中，較普遍，但以下幾種用法，不能用although. 如：

　�、� 表強(qiáng)調(diào)時(shí)，要用even though,如：

　　Even though I didn’t understand a word, I kept smiling.盡管我一字不識，我還是一直微笑著。

　�、�. Though可用在倒裝句中，如：

　　Young though he is, he is quite experienced. 他雖然年輕，但很有經(jīng)驗(yàn)。

　�、� though 可作副詞，表示“然而”放在句末或其它位置。如：He said he would come, he didn’t though.他說他要來，結(jié)果他卻沒來。

　　[此外]，although不用著副詞。在英語中如果用了although 或 though, 就不能再有but,但可以用yet 或still; 反之，如果用了but , 就不能用although 和 though. 如：

　　① Although he is in poor health, (yet) he works hard. = He is in poor health, but he works hard. 雖然他身體不好，但他工作仍努力。

　�、贏lthough it was so cold, he went out without an overcoat.雖然天氣很冷，他未穿外衣就出去了。

　�、� He is quite strong, although very old. 他雖然很老了，但還是十分健壯。

　�、�. though 常用作連詞，“雖然”。在口語中還用著副詞，一般放在句末，意為“可是、然而”等。如：

　�、� He didn’t light the fire, though it was cold. 天氣雖很冷，他卻還沒生火。

　�、� Though it was very late, he went on working. 雖然很晚了，他還是繼續(xù)工作。

　　③ He said he would come, he didn’t, though. 他說他來，可是結(jié)果他沒有來。
