2.although 和though的用法
(1)although和though都是引导让步状语从句的从属连词,意为"尽管,虽然",一般情况下可以互换。但although较正式,多用于句首,而though在非正式文体中较为普遍。although和though都不能和并列连词but连用,但可以和yet或still连用。
Although he likes the girl, (yet/still) he can't marry her.
虽然他喜欢这个女孩,但不能和她结婚。
(2)though引导让步状语从句时可用部分倒装形式,其用法相当于as,把从句中的表语、状语或动词原形置于句首;若表语是可数名词单数,前置时要省略不定冠词。
Poor though/as he is, he lives a happy life.
他虽然穷,但过得很幸福。
Child though/as she is, she knows a lot.
虽然还是个孩子,她却懂得很多。
Much though/as he loved her, he didn't tell her.
尽管他很爱她,但并没有告诉她。
Try though/as I might, I couldn't lift the stone.
尽管我试了,还是搬不动那块石头。
[名师点津] though还可以作副词,放在句末,用逗号和主句分开,相当于however,意为"然而"。
She said she would come; she didn't, though.
她说她要来,然而她没来。
