Jim is trying to reduce the AMOUNT of soda that he drinks; at last night’s party, HOWEVER, his resolve to drink LESS soda was sorely tested, AND he found himself quaffing A NUMBER of sodas.
这句话中间那个however,不能用although,为何呢?看解释:
"Although" should be "however". "Although" is a subordinator; therefore, it must be placed at the start of a subordinate clause. In contrast, the conjunctive adverb "however" can be placed in the middle of a main clause.
