大家在英语学习中有时可能会分辨不清though与although，笔者现作一小结：

　　区别： ① although和though同义，在一般情况下，可以互换使用。只是though较普遍，常用于非正式的口语或书面语中，而although则较为正式。另外although语气比though重，常用以强调让步概念。

　　e.g. Though/Although my car is very old, I don't want to buy a new one.

　　虽然我的汽车很旧，但我不想买一辆新的。

　　He insisted on doing it although I warned him not to.

　　虽然我警告他不要做，但他仍然坚持要做。

　　② even能和though组合表示强调，但even不能和although组合。因此，不能说even although,在这里even though=even if(no matter if; though即使……也……)

　　e.g. Even if/Even though we could afford it, we wouldn't go abroad for our vocation.

　　即使我们付得起这笔钱，也不出国度假。

　　③当让步状语从句指某种假设情况时，通常用though,而不用although。

　　e.g. Though all the world were against me, I should still hold to my opinion.

　　就算全世界都反对我，我还是坚持我的立场。

　　Though everybody deserts you, I will not.

　　即使所有人都抛弃你，我也不会的。

　　④ though可以独立用作副词，常放在句末，意为all the same (还是；仍然)或however(可是；然而)，而although无此用法。

　　e.g. She didn't tell me what she had done, but I know it though.

　　她没有告诉我她所做的事情，但我还是知道了。

　　It's hard work. I enjoy it, though.

　　工作很苦，可是我喜欢。

　　⑤ though引导让步状语从句时可以倒装，而although从句则不能。

　　e.g. Bravely though they fought, they had no chance of winning.

　　虽然他们打得很勇敢，但还是没有机会获胜。

　　相同点： ①在although和though 引导的让步状语从句中，主句里不可用but,若要强调前后两部分的对比意义，可在主句前加yet或still。

　　e.g. Although/Though he has a lot of money, yet/still he is unhappy.

　　他虽然有很多钱，但并不幸福。

　　② although和though引导让步状语从句时，常采用省略形式。

　　e.g. Although tired (=Although he was tired), he kept on working.

　　虽然很疲劳，但他继续工作。

　　The problem, though complicated(=though it is complicated), can be solved without much difficulty.

　　这个问题虽然复杂，但解决起来不会有很大困难。
