一、从词性上看
1. 用作连词,表示“虽然”,两者大致同义,可换用,只是 although 比 though 更为正式。如:
Though [Although] it was raining,we went there. 虽然下着雨,但我们还是去了那儿。
2. although 一般不用作副词,而 though 可用作副词,且一般放在句末(不放在句首),意为“可是”、“不过”。如:
It’s hard work; I enjoy it though. 工作很辛苦,可是我乐意干。
这样用的 though 有时可与 however 换用。如:
We all tried our best. We lost the game, though [however]. 我们都已尽了最大的力量,但我们还是输了。
二、从用法上看
1. 在 as though(好像,仿佛), even though(即使,纵然) 等固定短语中不能用 although。如:
He talks as though he knew anything. 他夸夸其谈好像无所不知。
2. though 引导的让步状语从句可用部分倒装的形式(注意:倒装后位于句首的名词之前不用冠词),但 although 一般不这样用。如:
Poor though I am, I can afford it. 我虽穷,但这东西还是买得起的。
Child though he was, he did quite well. 他虽是孩子,但干得很好。

although
与
though
的用法解析
1.
although
较正式,
语气强;
though
较常用。
现代英语中两者可随意换用。
如:
Though he was tired, he went on working. =Although he was tired, he
went on working.
2.
although
和
though
引导的从句放在主句前后均可,有时还可放在句中。如:
He often helps me with my English (al)though he is quite busy.
尽
管他相当忙,但是还常常帮我学英语。
Although
many
difficulties
are
still
ahead,
we
are
determined
to
make
greater
achievements.
尽管在前面的道路上还有许多困难,但是,我们决心要
取得更大的成就。
3.
although,
though
引导的从句不能与
but,
however
连用,但可与
yet,
still
连用。不能说:
Though he was old, but he worked hard.
应把
but
去掉。当
然,保留
but
而去
Though
也可。
4.
though
有时指假设的情况,不指事实,从句用虚拟语气;
although
不能这样
用。如:
Einstein
cared
little
for
money,
though
he
could
have
been
very
rich.
尽管爱因斯坦本可以成为非常富有的人,但他对金钱却不感兴趣。
(though
引导
的情况是假设的而不是事实。)
He will never do such a thing though he (should) be forced to.
即
使强迫他,他也决不会干这样的事。(注意:不能用
is
)
5. though
引导的从句,可用倒装语序,即把从句中的表语或状语放到
though
之前;
although
却不能这样用。如:
Young though she is, yet she is fit for the job.
(
=Young as she is,
yet she is fit for the job.
)尽管她很年轻,可她还是胜任这项工作的。
6. though
从句的主谓语若是系表结构时,可以省略从句主语和
be
动词。如:
Though alone, he is happy.
虽然他独自一人,却很幸福。
注意:
Though loving him, I can not help him.
是错句。因为从句不是
be
构成的系表结构作谓语。应改为:
Though
I
love
him,
I
can
not
help
him.
或
Though fond of him, I can not help him.
7. though
还可与别的词结合使用,如
even though, as though
等;
although
则无这种搭配功能。如:
I’ll go and help them even though I stop my work. 即使我停下自己
的活不干,我也要去帮助他们。
8. though
还可作并列连词,相当于
and yet
(然而,可是),它引导的分句常
对另一分句起补充说明作用;
although
则无这种用法。如:
I
wouldn’t
like
to
go
to
the
evening,
though
they
will
invite
me
to.
我不想去参加晚会,可是他们要请我去。
They now can do most of the things people can do, though most
scientists agree that computers can not completely take the place of
humans.
人们能做的大部分工作,计算机现在都能做,然而大多数科学家认为,
计算机并不能完全代替人类。
9. though
可用作副词,放在词尾。
although
却不可这样用。如:
He sai
d he would come, he didn’t, though. 他说要来却没来。本回答被提问者采纳

作为连词although 和 though 通常可以互换使用, Although常放在从句的开头(如前面例句), 而though 可以出现在其它位置,当用来连接词语或短语时更为常用, 如Although (or though ) she smiled, she was angry. 尽管她微笑着,她却在生气。wiser though poorer 尽管穷一些却更有头脑Fond though (not although ) I am of opera, I'd rather not sit through the Ring cycle this weekend. 尽管 (不用 although ) 我很喜欢歌剧,我也不愿这个周末一直坐等到 打铃 散场。
