区别:①although和though同义,在一般情况下,可以互换使用。只是though较普遍,常用于非正式的口语或书面语中,而although则较为正式。另外although语气比though重,常用以强调让步概念。
e.g. Though/Although my car is very old, I don't want to buy a new one.
虽然我的汽车很旧,但我不想买一辆新的。
He insisted on doing it although I warned him not to.
虽然我警告他不要做,但他仍然坚持要做。
②even能和though组合表示强调,但even不能和although组合。因此,不能说even although,在这里even though=even if(no matter if; though即使……也……)
e.g. Even if/Even though we could afford it, we wouldn't go abroad for our vocation.
即使我们付得起这笔钱,也不出国度假。
③当让步状语从句指某种假设情况时,通常用though,而不用although。
e.g. Though all the world were against me, I should still hold to my opinion.
就算全世界都反对我,我还是坚持我的立场。
Though everybody deserts you, I will not.
即使所有人都抛弃你,我也不会的。
④though可以独立用作副词,常放在句末,意为all the same (还是;仍然)或however(可是;然而),而although无此用法。
e.g. She didn't tell me what she had done, but I know it though.
她没有告诉我她所做的事情,但我还是知道了。
It's hard work. I enjoy it, though.
工作很苦,可是我喜欢。
⑤though引导让步状语从句时可以倒装,而although从句则不能。
e.g. Bravely though they fought, they had no chance of winning.
虽然他们打得很勇敢,但还是没有机会获胜。
相同点:①在although和though引导的让步状语从句中,主句里不可用but,若要强调前后两部分的对比意义,可在主句前加yet或still。
e.g. Although/Though he has a lot of money, yet/still he is unhappy.
他虽然有很多钱,但并不幸福。
②although和though引导让步状语从句时,常采用省略形式。
e.g. Although tired (=Although he was tired), he kept on working.
虽然很疲劳,但他继续工作。
The problem, though complicated(=though it is complicated), can be solved without much difficulty.本回答被提问者和网友采纳
