Question

Young ______ he was, he managed to make a living on his own？

Young ______ he was, he managed to make a living on his own.（　　　）
A．although B．since
C．though D．thus
A不是尽管的意思吗？为什么不选A

Answer 1

Young though he was等于 Though ( Although) he was young，汉语意思是：尽管（虽然）他很年轻。虽然though 和 although 意思一样，但在这个句型里although 不可替换though, 但as可以。即：Young as he was＝ Young though he was。

Answer 2

1.Young ______ he was, he managed to make a living on his own.（　　　）
A．although B．since
C．though D．thus
只能选择C.though。因为Young though he was,属于倒装句，though和although在此用法有区别，只能选择C.though。
2.although与though用作连词，表示“虽然”，两者大致同义，可换用，只是 although 比 though 更为正式。如：
Though [Although] it was raining，we went there. 虽然下着雨，但我们还是去了那儿。
3. although 一般不用作副词，而 though 可用作副词，且一般放在句末(不放在句首)，意为“可是”、“不过”。如：
It’s hard work; I enjoy it though. 工作很辛苦，可是我乐意干。
这样用的 though 有时可与 however 换用。如：
We all tried our best. We lost the game, though [however]. 我们都已尽了最大的力量，但我们还是输了。
4.在 as though(好像，仿佛), even though(即使，纵然) 等固定短语中不能用 although。如：
He talks as though he knew anything. 他夸夸其谈好像无所不知。
5.though 引导的让步状语从句可用部分倒装的形式(注意：倒装后位于句首的名词之前不用冠词)，although不能应用于这种倒装句。如：
Poor though I am, I can afford it. 我虽穷，但这东西还是买得起的。
Child though he was, he did quite well. 他虽是孩子，但干得很好。
6. Young though he was,属于倒装句，属于though 引导的让步状语从句，根据5.though 引导的让步状语从句可用部分倒装的形式，although不能应用于这种倒装句，although已经被排除，所以只能选择C.though。

Answer 3

选：though. 因为though可以作副词， 而although 只可以作连词。
Young though he was, he managed to make a living on his own.

Answer 4

选 though 。
这句话中表语young 提到了句首，用了部分倒装语序,这种情况只能用
though 或者as来表示＂尽管＂的含义。
Young though he was＝Young as he was
也可以表示为：Although he was
young

Answer 5

Young ______ he was, he managed to make a living on his own？
选择C.though 。
用though时，可将强调的词前置，但although不能。
