两词都可以用来引导从句表示,尽管虽然的意思,但在用法上,两个词稍有不同:

though

用得最多的词,能引导一个表示事实、假设或承认某种可能性的从句:

Though they know the war is lost, they continue to fight.

although

可以与though换用,但常用在从句位于主句之前,引导表事实的从句:

Although they worked hard, their movements seemed painfully slow.

虽然两者可以换用,但也要注意以下几点

  • though 可用作副词:

You can count on him, though.

  • though可用于as though、even though的短语中
  • though用于倒装:

Poor though I am, I can afford it.
