even though ,though,although三者有什么区别呢?又该如何用呢?
even though、though和although 三者都可以用来表示转折的意味,但是三者容易被混淆,我们需要多注意区分,具体如下:
一:含义解释
even though 英 [ˈiːvn ðəʊ] 美 [ˈiːvn ðoʊ] 虽然,即使
though 英 [ðəʊ] 美 [ðoʊ] conj. 虽然;尽管 adv.不过,可是,然而
although 英 [ɔːlˈðəʊ] 美 [ɔːlˈðoʊ] conj. 虽然;尽管;即使;不过;然而
相同点:三者都可以表示转折。
不同点:although较书面,语气上although更强调让步关系;though较常用,是用来引导已成事实;even though引导的是已成事实的事。
二:用法区分
在句子中,even though和although通常是用在句子的开头,不能放在句末。Although though 和even though都可以放在句子的中间,即even though和although绝对不可以放到句子后头,而三个都可以放在中间。
1.although
用法:although可置于句首(此时多用逗号与主句分开),也可置于句末(此时用不用逗号均可),也可用于句中表强调。
2.though
用法:though引导恩巨让步状语从句时表示一种假设的情况或含有推测的意味,从句的谓语动词可用陈述式,也可用虚拟式; 有时为了强调让步的意义,可采用倒装语序糟柱互。
3.even though
用法:even though引导的让步从句所指的则是事实兼让步。
三:典型例句
1、even though

他虽然经验最少,却是最出色的老师。
——We made the journey by land, though flying would have been cheaper.

不过,确实出现了一个重大问题。
3、although

1. even though:这个短语最常用于表达一个相当强烈的让步,表示即使事实如此也不会改变另一件事的情况。通常还可以用连词 “although” 或 “though” 来代替。
例如:Even though it was raining heavily, he still insisted on going for a walk.(尽管下着大雨,他仍然坚持出去散步。)
2. though: 这个单词比 “even though” 比较中性,通常表示让步不是特别强烈。但是要注意,当用于句首的时候,”though” 有点类似于 “however” 的用法,表示转折,强调前后两个句子之间的对比。
例如:Though it was late, he decided to finish his work.(虽然时间已经晚了,他还是决定完成他的工作。)
3. although: 这个单词和 ”though” 的区别相对较小,通常用于连接两个并列的句子,用以表示一种转折、对比的关系。
例如:Although he is young, he has already achieved a lot.(尽管他还很年轻,但他已经取得了很大的成就。)
无论是使用 "even though", "though" 还是 "although",都需要注意语境和句子的表达方式,从而更好地传达你想表达的意思。
even though, though 和 although 都是表示“尽管,虽然”的连词,用来引导一个表示转折或者对比的从句。它们的意思和用法基本相同,但是有一些细微的区别:
even though 比 though 和 although 更强调从句中的事实和主句中的事实之间的对比或者冲突,表示“即使,纵然”。135
though 比 although 更口语化,更常用于非正式场合。125
though 还可以用在句末,表示“不过,然而”,相当于 however 或者 nevertheless 。24
although 和 even though 不能用在句末,也不能和 but 连用。24
as though 和 as if 的意思和用法相同,表示“好像,仿佛”,引导一个虚拟或者比喻的从句。6
Even though he was sick, he still went to work. (他虽然生病了,但还是去上班了。)
Though he was sick, he still went to work. (他虽然生病了,但还是去上班了。)
Although he was sick, he still went to work. (他虽然生病了,但还是去上班了。)
He was sick. He still went to work, though . (他生病了。不过他还是去上班了。)
He looks as though/as if he has seen a ghost. (他看起来好像见到鬼了。)
