以下是引用丑得老婆哭在2005-9-4 20:38:00的发言: although是“虽然”,even though是“即使”。怎么会没区别?
I disagree. Although - Regardless of the fact that; even though.
On the other hand, although and though have subtle differeneces. As conjunctions, although and though are generally interchangeable: Although (or though) she smiled, she was angry. Although is usually placed at the beginning of its clause (as in the preceding example), whereas though may occur elsewhere and is the more common term when used to link words or phrases, as in wiser though poorer. In certain constructions, only though is acceptable: Fond though (not although) I am of sports, I'd rather not sit through another basketball game. |
