although ☞ althoughconj. [ɔːl′  ǝʊ] 双解释义 1. 尽管,虽然 in spite of the fact that 2. 但是,然而 but, however 基本要点 1. although的基本意思是“尽管,虽然”或“然而,但是”,常用于引导陈述语气的让步状语从句,且引导的句子常指事实,而不指设想。2. although可置于句首(此时多用逗号与主句分开),也可置于句末(此时用不用逗号均可),也可用于句中表强调。3. 在although引导的复合句中,若主句和从句的主语相同,且从句的谓语动词含动词be,则从句的主语和动词be可以省略。4. although不能与but在句中同时出现,即有了although就不可以再用but. 但although可与副词yet连用而产生关联关系,在含让步状语从句的主句中还可以使用nevertheless, still等副词。句型例句 Although my car is very old, it still runs very well. 我的汽车虽然很旧,但仍然跑得很快。 Although he is rich, he is not happy. 他虽然有钱,但并不快乐。 They are generous, although they are poor. 他们尽管穷,却十分慷慨。 I have a lot of my father's features, although I'm not so tall as he is. 我长得很像我父亲,但我没他那么高。 They are generous although they are poor. 他们虽穷,却很慷慨。 The price increase will obviously be unpopular, although it's unlikely to reduce demand. 提价显然不得人心,但也未必能收到减少需求的效果。 In any case, she was very loveable although not at all tidy. 不管怎么说,她还是很可爱的,尽管一点也不爱干净。 Although he was ill, yet〔still, nevertheless〕 he managed to look careful. 虽然他病了,但他尽力显出很注意的样子。 Although admission was free, nevertheless few people attended the lecture. 尽管免费入场,但听讲座的人却不多。 Although quite young, he knows a lot. 虽然很年轻,但他知道的东西却很多。词语辨异 ♣ although, though 这两个词都可表示“虽然”。其区别是: 1. although的语气较重,引导的句子常指事实;though引导的句子可表示假设。2. though可以引起从句的主语和谓语部分倒装,而although不可。3. although只用作连词;而though除用作连词外,还可用作副词。另外,though可用作并列连词,也可用作从属连词;而although只能用作从属连词。4. though可用于even though, as though, what though等结构;而although不能。学习参考 1. although not是口语中的习惯说法, although not前后呼应的词须是同类词。例如: With all her faults, I love her and I usually agree with her, too, although not always. 尽管她有各种各样的缺点,我仍然爱她,我也通常与她观点一致,虽然不总是这样。2. 在一定上下文中although也可与but连用,不过此时but须置于although之前,意为“但尽管…”。例如: But I didn't know that then, although I learned it later. 但我当时的确不知道此事,尽管后来还是知道了。补充资料 [同义词] even if, in spite of, though [词源]中古英语although(虽然,还) |
