基本解释
- conj.虽然;尽管;然而;可是
- adv.(用在句末补充说明使语气减弱)不过
词源解说
- 1200年左右进入英语,直接源自古英语的eah,意为可是,然而。
用法辨析
- though引导让步状语从句时表示一种假设的情况或含有推测的意味,从句的谓语动词可用陈述式,也可用虚拟式; 有时为了强调让步的意义,可采用倒装语序。
- 在用though连接的从句中,谓语是be,而从句的主语与主句的主语相同时,从句的主语与be可同时省略。
- 区别although和though:though可以做副词,指“但是”,但是although不行。as though属固定搭配,这里though不能替换成although。although要比though来得更正式,相对而言,语气比较重,但是though的使用更普遍。although引导的从句,常指实际发生的事情,而不是假象,设想。though和although都可在从句中用作连词,通常表示相同的意思,但though更普遍适应于非正式的表述中;He said he would come, he didn't, though. 句中的though不能替换成although。He would not be unhappy though he should have to live alone. 就算要一个人住,他可能也不会不开心。He was not unhappy although he had to live alone. 虽然他不得不要一个人住,却没有不开心。
- though已表示“然而,可是”,在句中,不可再与but连用。Though he lives alone, but he is happy. 句子中的but要删掉。
- though引导的句子有时有特殊的格式。值得注意的是,句子 Though loving him, I cannot help him是不成立的,因为没有though I was loving这一说法。Though he lives alone, he is happy. 句子中的“he lives”可以省略掉。
