Although
1。这两个连词的意义基本相同，都作“虽然”或“虽则”讲，一般并可通用；但也不能说两者并无区别：前者以用于陈述的让步从句较宜，而后者则以用于虚拟的让步从句较宜。
比较：Jack was not satisfied，although he made great progress．
虽然大有进步，杰克还是不满足。 （不说Jack would not be satisfied…）
Jack would not be satisfied，though he made great progress．
即使大有进步，杰克还是不满足。 （不说 Jack was not sat- isfied…）

比较：Jack was not satisfied，although he made great progress．
虽然大有进步，杰克还是不满足。
（不说Jack would not be satisfied…）
Jack would not be satisfied，though he made great progress．
即使大有进步，杰克还是不满足。
（不说 Jack was not sat- isfied…）
2。此外，前者的语气要比后者的语气强烈些。
比较：Although I warned him not to，he insisted on reading such novels．我虽然警告过他不要去看这类小说，他却偏偏要看。
（语气较强）
He insisted on reading such novels，though I warned him not to．我虽然警告过他不要去看这类小说，而他还是要看。
（语气较弱）
3。
至于词序，前者在句中的词序要比后者固定；就是说，前者不能移置，而后者可以。
比较：Although he is young，that son of yours studies very hard．你的那个儿子虽然年纪小，却非常用功。
（不说Young although he is…）
Young though he is，that son of yours studies very hard．你的那个儿子虽然年纪小，却非常用功。
（＝Though he is young…）
Though he was rich，he was very unhappy．他虽然富有，却并不幸福。（这里可以改用although）
Rich though he was，he was very unhappy．他虽然富有，却并不幸福。
（这里却不能改用although）
简而言之。
1）although 比though的语气要坚定，主要用于正式语言中
2）although不与even或as连用，但我们说even though，as though
等于even if, as if
3）although后只接句子
though后可接形容词
。收起
