单词辨析

although 意为“虽然；尽管”，语气较强，较为正式，多放在句首。

though 意为“虽然；尽管”，语气较弱，多用于日常的口语表达。

用法讲解

although是连词，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；although不能与but在句中同时出现，即有了although就不可以再用but。

although可置于句首(多用逗号与主句分开)，也可置于句末(用不用逗号均可)，也可用于句中表强调。

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。例： In any case, she was very lovable 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。
