There is a critical difference between "although" and "whereas".
Generally speaking, "although" is used to contrast different status of the same subject, and usually within the same time period.
- Although [James] was sick, [he] came to work the next day.
"Whereas" is used to contrast different subjects.
- Whereas [most reptiles] have a life expectancy of within 17 years, [turtles] are able to survive till 300 years old.
需要注意的是,whereas 也可以用来比较同一个subject在两个明显不同时期的状态(一般来说要有强烈的反差):
- Whereas James found an occupancy in the police service 10 years ago, he is now litigated for stealing, robbing, and human trafficking. |
