though,although的区别

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 said he would come, he didn't, though. 他说要来却没来。

although 与 though的用法区别

一、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：

Though [Although] it was raining，we went there. 虽然下着雨，但我们还是去了那儿。

Though [Although] it was barely four o’clock, the lights were already on. 尽管才四点钟，灯已经亮了。

Though [Although] we are poor, we are still happy. 我们虽然穷，仍然很快活。二、用作副词

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”：

It’s hard work; I enjoy it though. 工作很辛苦，可是我乐意干。

He is looking fit, though. 但他看起来很健康。

You can count on him, though. 不过你可以指靠他。

三、用于习语

在 as though(好像，仿佛)，even though(即使，纵然)等固定短语中不能用 although：She closed her eyes as though she were tired. 她闭上眼，仿佛很疲劳似的。

We felt as though we had witnessed the whole thing. 我们感到仿佛目击了整个这件事似的。

He is an honest man, I must say, even though I have opposed him. 尽管我反对过他，我还得说他是一个诚实的人。

She was always afraid of men, even though she had lots of boyfriends.尽管她有很多男朋友，她总是害怕男人。

四、用于倒装

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：
