although

音標[?:l'eou] 讀音

漢語翻譯


conj. 雖然, 儘管

詞意辨析:

though, although, as, even though
這些連詞均可表示“雖然,儘管”之意。
though: 和although在意義幾乎毫無區別,但在習慣用法上這兩個詞仍有以下一些差異:1.though可引出倒裝語序的讓步狀語從句,although 則不能。2.though可與even連用,although則不能;在as though結構中,只用though,不能用although。3.though可以置於從句末,而although則不能。4.引出省略句時,通常用though。
although: 與though在意義上相似,但文體上是比較正式用詞,語氣比though強。
as: 引出讓步狀語從句只用於倒裝語序結構中,語氣強於上述兩個連詞。
even though: (=even if),意為“即使”,引導讓步狀語從句。though也引導讓步狀語從句,意為“雖然”;even though有退一步構想的意味,與though不同。though引導的句子所說的是事實,even though引導的句子所說的則不一定是事實。例如:
  • he will not tell the secret even though(even if)he knows it.
    即使他知道這個秘密,他也不肯說出來。
  • he will not tell the secret though he knows it.
    他雖然知道這個秘密,但他不會說出來。

例句:

  1. A car overtook me although I was going fast.
    我雖然開得很快,還是被一輛車超過了。
  2. Although she was poor, she was living in genteel poverty.
    儘管她貧窮,但她總想裝出上流社會階層的樣子。
  3. Although they can swim, the polar bears are terrestrial animals.
    北極熊雖然會游泳,但也是陸棲動物
  4. She seemed a babe although she was already thirty.
    儘管她已經三十歲了,看上去還象個小孩。
