(though)（雖然），as（盡管，雖然），even

if

(though)（即使），however（盡管），whatever（不管）；no

matter

(how,

what,

where,

when)（不管（怎樣、什么、哪里、何時(shí)））等。although和though在意義上沒(méi)有區(qū)別，但although語(yǔ)氣上要強(qiáng)一些，所以更常用于句首。例如：Although

he

is

poor,

he

is

honest.

他雖然窮，但是誠(chéng)實(shí)。GrammarFocus(2)although和though都表示“雖然”，但although比though正式，更多用于句首；二者都可與yet，still或nevertheless連用，但不能和but連用：

He

didn’t

stop

working

though/although

he

was

ill.

他雖然病了，但未停止工作。Ilikehim.Thoughhemakesmeangrysometimes.我喜歡他，盡管他有時(shí)惹我生氣。Hedidreply,thoughnotimmediately.他確實(shí)回復(fù)了，不過(guò)不是立馬回復(fù)。GrammarFocus(2)as引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語(yǔ)從句要用倒裝語(yǔ)序，可用though代替，但
