考点1. although conj. 虽然;尽管;即使
Although we haven’t got many clothes, we've got enough. 尽管我们没有很多衣服,但也够穿了。
【拓展】 though conj. 虽然;尽管;即使
指点迷津:although 与though
是一个“关联词”,相当于汉语中的“虽然……,但是……”,用来引导让步状语从句。although比though更为正式。如:
Although/Though the sun was shining, I took an umbrella in case. 虽然太阳普照大地,我还是带了把雨伞以防万一。
We lost the game although/though we tried our best. 尽管已经尽了最大的努力,但我们还是输了比赛。
Although与though所引导的从句均可使用省略句。
Though very intelligent, she is still rather modest. 尽管天资聪慧,她还是很谦虚。(though后省略了she is)
Although in pain, she didn't cry. 虽然被疼痛折磨,她却没有哭。(although后省略了she was)
【友情提示】 although和though均不能与连词but出现于同一个句子中。如:虽然下着雨,但我们还是去了那儿。
Though/Although it was raining, we went there.(√)
It was raining, but we went there.(√)
Though/Although it was raining,.but we went there.(X)
但有时为了强调, although和though均可与still, yet等副词连用。
Though she said she would be late, yet she arrived on time. 她说她会迟到,但后来却准时到了。
Although he was very tired, he still kept on working. 虽然很疲倦了,但他仍在继续工作。
