although/ though
Ⅰ. although conj. 尽管、虽然引导让步状语从句,相当于 though. 只是比though稍微正式些。多用于句首。though 用于非正式文体中,较普遍,但以下几种用法,不能用although. 如:
① 表强调时,要用even though,如:
Even though I didnt understand a word, I kept smiling.
尽管我一字不识,我还是一直微笑着。
②. Though可用在倒装句中,如:
Young though he is, he is quite experienced. 他虽然年轻,但很有经验。
③ though 可作副词,表示然而放在句末或其它位置。
如:He said he would come, he didnt though.他说他要来,结果他却没来。
[此外],although不用着副词。在英语中如果用了although 或 though, 就不能再有but,但可以用yet 或still; 反之,如果用了but , 就不能用although 和 though. 如:
① Although he is in poor health, (yet) he works hard. = He is in poor health, but he works hard. 虽然他身体不好,但他工作仍努力。
②Although it was so cold, he went out without an overcoat.
虽然天气很冷,他未穿外衣就出去了。
① He is quite strong, although very old.
他虽然很老了,但还是十分健壮。
Ⅱ. though 常用作连词,虽然。在口语中还用着副词,一般放在句末,意为可是、然而等。如:
① He didnt light the fire, though it was cold. 天气虽很冷,他却还没生火。
② Though it was very late, he went on working. 虽然很晚了,他还是继续工作。
③ He said he would come, he didnt, though. 他说他来,可是结果他没有来。
always / yet
Ⅰ. always 总是;一直常与一般现在时连用。有时也与进行时连用, 但并不强调动作正在进行,而是表示赞叹、厌烦、不满等情绪。常用于肯定句中,放在三类词(情态动词、助动词、系动词本书称为三类词)之后,行为动词之前。如:
① We always get up before six oclock. 我们总是六点前起床。
② He is always thinking of others. 他总是想着别人。
Ⅱ. yet. 仍然;还常与not连用。用于否定结构中。如:
①He hasnt finished the work yet. 他还没完成这项工作。
