一先紫、用作連詞
表示“雖然”,兩者大致同義筹煮,可換用遮精,只是 although 比 though 更為正式:
Though [Although] it was raining,we went there.
雖然下著雨败潦,但我們還是去了那兒本冲。
Though [Although] it was barely four o'clock, the lights were already on.
盡管才四點(diǎn)鐘,燈已經(jīng)亮了变屁。
Though [Although] we are poor, we are still happy.
我們雖然窮眼俊,仍然很快活。
二粟关、用作副詞
although 一般不用作副詞疮胖,而 though 可用作副詞,且一般放在句末(不放在句首)闷板,意為“可是”澎灸、“不過”:
It's hard work; I enjoy it though.
工作很辛苦,可是我樂意干遮晚。
He is looking fit, though.
但他看起來很健康性昭。
You can count on him, though.
不過你可以指靠他。
三县遣、用于習(xí)語
在 as though(好像糜颠,仿佛)汹族,even though(即使,縱然)等固定短語中不能用 although:
She closed her eyes as though she were tired.
她閉上眼其兴,仿佛很疲勞似的顶瞒。
We felt as though we had witnessed the whole thing.
我們感到仿佛目擊了整個這件事似的。
He is an honest man, I must say, even though I have opposed him.
盡管我反對過他元旬,我還得說他是一個誠實(shí)的人榴徐。

盡管她有很多男朋友,她總是害怕男人匀归。
四坑资、用于倒裝
though 引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語從句可用部分倒裝的形式(注意:倒裝后位于句首的名詞之前不用冠詞),但 although 一般不這樣用:
Poor though I am, I can afford it.
我雖窮穆端,但這東西還是買得起的袱贮。
Child though he was, he did quite well.
他雖是孩子,但干得很好徙赢。
