關于though的用法及解釋(1)
although與though的區別和用法
一、用作連詞
表示“雖然”，兩者大致同義，可換用，只是 although 比 though 更為正式：
Though [Although] it was raining，we went there. 雖然下著雨，但我們還是去了那兒。
Though [Although] it was barely four o’clock, the lights were already on. 盡管才四點鐘，燈已經亮了。
Though [Although] we are poor, we are still happy. 我們雖然窮，仍然很快活。
二、用作副詞
although 一般不用作副詞，而 though 可用作副詞，且一般放在句末(不放在句首)，意為“可是”、“不過”：
It’s hard work; I enjoy it though. 工作很辛苦，可是我樂意干。
He is looking fit, though. 但他看起來很健康。
You can count on him, though. 不過你可以指靠他。
三、用于習語
在 as though(好像，仿佛)，even though(即使，縱然)等固定短語中不能用 although：
She closed her eyes as though she were tired. 她閉上眼，仿佛很疲勞似的。
We felt as though we had witnessed the whole thing. 我們感到仿佛目擊了整個這件事似的。
He is an honest man, I must say, even though I have opposed him. 盡管我反對過他，我還得說他是一個誠實的人。
She was always afraid of men, even though she had lots of boyfriends.盡管她有很多男朋友，她總是害怕男人。
四、用于倒裝
though 引導的讓步狀語從句可用部分倒裝的形式(注意：倒裝后位于句首的名詞之前不用冠詞)，但 although 一般不這樣用：
Poor though I am, I can afford it. 我雖窮，但這東西還是買得起的。
Child though he was, he did quite well. 他雖是孩子，但干得很好。
五、though放在句尾相當于however, nevertheless
but,?however,?still,?nevertheless,?yet
but, however, still, nevertheless, yet這是幾個詞義很近的同義詞，都表示轉折或讓步。
but 用來引出微弱的相反的意見，是口語常用詞。
Nearly everybody enters for‘ The Nicest Garden Competition ’each year, but Joe wins every time.
年年幾乎大家都報名參加“最佳花園競賽”，但每次獲勝的都是喬。
Sally was amused, but I was very embarrassed.
薩莉很開心，但我卻很尷尬。
however 比 but 的詞義弱些，并不直接引出相反的意見，因此常用作插入語
You will be lucky if he lets you go without a ticket. However, this does not always happen.
他如果不給你一個違章通知單就放你走，你就是運氣好。不過，這種事也并不總是發生的。
The most surprising thing about it, however, is that it can land anywhere…
不過，關于這架飛機的最使人吃驚的事情是，它可以在任何地方著路……
still 還，還是
It is true that winter is over; still, it is almost as cold.
冬天已經過去了，這是事實，但天氣還是那么冷。
He treated you badly; still, he is your brother and you ought to help him.
他過去待你很壞，但是他還是你的哥哥，那么你應該幫助他。
nevertheless：即使作出完全的讓步，也沒有任何影響，或者說也不是決定因素。
There was no news; nevertheless, she went on hoping.
一點消息也沒有，但是她繼續抱著希望。
To be sure, it is no longer winter; nevertheless, it is quite cold.
現在固然已不是冬天了，可是天氣還是相當冷。
yet 的含義是：即使做出極端的讓步，也不會發生期待的結果。
He worked hard, yet, he failed.
他干得很賣力，然而他失敗了。
It is well on in May, yet, it is almost as cold as midwinter.
現在進入5月份已經好長時間了，然而天氣還象仲冬一樣冷。
關于though的用法及解釋(2)
as?if/as?though的用法
Holding his head high, he walked past the pole and the soldiers as if they didn’t exist.
as if 與as though 是一組同義詞，兩者意思相同，用法也相同，只是在口語中人們多半會用as if, 取其簡短。
as if和as though 用法較為復雜，本文擬對其各種用法做一概述。
1．在通常情況下， as if 和as though 所引導的從句的謂語動詞多用虛擬語氣，表示所敘述的情況與事實相反。具體用法如下：
1)談論現在情形的，用過去時（動詞be用were,也可用was）：
Why is she looking at me as though she knew me? 他為什么那樣看我？像是認識我似的。
He behaves as if he owned the house. 他的樣子好像他擁有這個房子。
He treats me as if /as though I were a stranger.
He speaks as if he were an Englishman.
It’s not as though he was /were poor.
2)談論過去情形的動詞形式有以下幾種：
a)過去式，表示過去的狀態，如：
He looked at me as if I were mad. 他那樣看我，好像我是個瘋子。
He stood there looking at the train and laughing, as if to miss a
train was the best joke in the world.
他站在那里，望著火車哈哈大笑，好像誤了火車是天底下最開心的事兒似的。
Mr. Coleman always talked as if he knew everything.
但是，如果狀態動詞帶有持續時間狀語，則用過去完成時：
They talked as if they had been friends for years. (高二冊，第95頁)
(試比較：They had been friends for years.)
Now it is as though she had known Millie for years. (《現代英語用法詞典》)
情態動詞亦用過去時：
She felt as though she could hardly endure such a life.
她覺得簡直無法忍受這樣的生活。
b)過去完成時，表示過去的動作先于主句動詞而發生或完成，如：
It was as if he had lost his last friend.
“I remember,” she tells her children now, “how wild his white hair
looked——as if it had been electrified.”（高二冊，第91頁）
必須注意的時，在指過去的動作時，即使主句是現在時，as if 從句中的動詞也要用過去完成時：
You look as if you’d seen a ghost. 你好像是見了鬼似的。
He talks about Rome as though he had been there himself.
他講起羅馬的情況來就好像他親自到過那里似的。
c)過去進行時，表示動作正在進行：
He heard a noise, as if someone was breathing.（高一冊，第211頁）
He ran as if ghosts were chasing him.
I felt as if the ground were slipping beneath my feet. 我感到大地仿佛在腳下滑動。
d)過去將來時，表示將要發生的事態：
It looked as if it was going to snow. （高一冊，第127頁）
He opened his lips as if he would say something to you.
2. 如果as if后面的從句所表示的情況時真實的或很可能時真實的，則動詞可以用陳述語氣，在feel, look, seem
smell, sound, taste之后尤其如此。試比較：F. T. Wood所著English Colloquial
Idioms中的兩個例子：
He walks as if he is drunk.
He walks as if he were drunk.
第一句表示“他已經醉了”，第2句則表示“他沒有醉”。又如：
It looks as if it is going to rain.
It looks as if were going to rain.
第一例意味著快要下雨了，第二例則意味著不會下雨。再看其她例子：
There’s Hob, talking to the ticket-collector. It looks as if he
hasn’t got a platform ticket. 那不，霍布正在同檢票員說話，看樣子還沒弄到站臺票。
You look as if you’ve been running. 你好像剛跑了一陣似的。
You look as if you know each other.
He looks as if he’s tired.
It looks/seems as if you’re right.
You have acted as if you like me.
It smells as if it is fresh. 聞起來很新鮮。
3. 隨著語言的發展，as if
后面的從句即使反映的不是事實，也可以不用虛擬語氣而用陳述語氣，這主要出現在口語或不太正式的文體中。例如：
With the development of these new tools, it is as if man has
suddenly become a millionaire of the mind.
隨著這些新工具的發展，人好像突然間成為精神上的百萬富翁似的。
Teen-agers may talk as if they know it all, but statistics tell a
different story.
The “historical present” is sometimes used in narrative when we want
to describe events vividly as if they are happening in our presence.
4. 在非正式文體（尤其是美國英語）中，可以用like做連詞代替as if 和as though。例如：
It looks like it’s going to rain today.
She looks like she’ll win the race.
I love that boy like he was my son.
He looked like he needed someone to talk to, so we lent him an ear.
He sat there smiling like it was his birthday.
She started kissing me like we were on our honeymoon.
她開始吻我，好像是在度蜜月似的。
5. as if和as though從句中的省略
當as if和as though從句的主語與主句一致時，該主語和后面的動詞可以省略。于是便出現下面幾種結構：
1)????? as if +不定式
He opened his lips as if (he were) to make some reply.
The bee checked its forward speed, circled and then drifted slowly
over the mirrorlike surface of the pool as if to admire its own
reflection. 蜜蜂放慢飛行速度，轉了幾圈兒，然后在清澈如鏡的水潭上空慢慢地飄過，似乎要欣賞它自己的倒影。
2)????? 不定式+形容詞或形容詞短語
Carrie felt as if unable to endure such a life. 嘉莉覺得似乎無法再忍受這種生活了。
He lay still for a long while, as if dead.
3)????? as if +介詞短語
He looked about as if (he was) in search of something.
4)????? as if +現在分詞
From time to time Jason turned round as though (he was) searching
for someone.
John paused as if expecting Mary to speak. 約翰停下來，似乎是等瑪麗開口。
Nevertheless, the bee kept exercising the wings slowly up and down,
as though assessing the damage.
然而，那只蜜蜂仍然在不停地慢慢上下活動著它地翅膀，仿佛在估量著所受的損害。
5)????? as if +名詞
He acts as if (he was) a fool.
6)????? as if +副詞
He made that remark as if absently. 他好像是漫不經心地說了那句話。
6. 對as if-從句認識上的一個誤區
對于as if 的用法，一些人的認識上存在著一個誤區，即把as
if從句中動詞的形式與主句的時態相聯系。如1993年第10期《英語自學》中《淺談由as if (as
though)和wish引出的虛擬語氣就明確指出：“在由as if (as
though)引出的表示虛擬語氣的方式狀語從句中，如果主句的謂語是一般時，那么其從句的謂語一般應該用動詞的過去式
(be用were)；反之，如果主句的謂語用一般過去時，那么從句謂語一般用“had
+過去分詞”。這種認為從句動詞形式受主句時態制約的觀點是不符合語言實際的。實際上，as if和 as
though后謂語動詞的形式與主句時態無關。本文前面列舉的一些例句足以證明這一點，《現代英語慣用法詞典》上也有如下例句：
He looks as if he were ill.
He looked as if he were ill.
He looks as if he had been ill.
He looked as if he had been ill.
我們在前面也有過類似的例句。下面在提供一些主句用現在時而從句仍用過去完成時的例句：
A: We’ve been back at work now for three days. 我們回來上課到現在已三天了
B: I feel as if I had been back for three months. 我感到似乎已回來三個月了。
（比較：I have been back for three months.）
6. as if和as though的功能
1)????? 引導方式狀語從句
They talked as if they had been friends for years.
2)????? 引導表語從句
He looked as if he had just stepped out of my book of fairy
tales and had passed me like a spirit. (高二冊，第92頁)
3)????? 引導感嘆句，表示對某種建議、假定、想象等的反對：
As if I cared! 好像我很在乎似的！（相當于：I don’t care!）
As if anyone would believe that story! 好像人人都會相信那種說法似的！
He warned me against associating with people of doubtful character.
As if I ever should! 他告誡我不要同可疑的人來往，好像我真會那樣做似的！
as if, as though的用法：
這兩個復合從屬連詞的用法和意義完全一樣，但as if 在當代英語中比 as though 普通得多。
1）as if 引出的方式狀語從句所表示的情況是事實或具有很大可能性時，通常用直陳語氣。名子的謂語我為look, seem, taste, smell, sound等。如：
It looks as if they have succeeded in the experiment. 看來好像他們試驗成功了。
2) as if 引出的方式狀語從句所表示的情況不是事實，而是主觀想象或夸大性的比喻時，通常用虛擬語氣。從句中謂語動詞一般用過去時，be 動詞常用 were,但在現代英語中也常見到單數 was的情況。如：
The young man with long hair looks as if he were a girl. 這位滿頭長發的男青年看上去像個女的。
The injured man acted as if nothing had happened to him.這位受傷的男子表現得好像沒發生什么事一樣。
3）as if 引出的方式狀語從句，當主句謂語是過去時態時，從句謂語形式常常沒有什么特殊之處。如：
The lady felt as if she lost something. 這位女士好像學得丟了什么東西。
He was singing as though / if he hadn"t had / didn"t have a care in the world.他唱著歌，好像人世間他沒有憂慮。
4）as if 引導的同一從句中所用的時態不同，意思往往不同。請比較：
* The clown looks as if he were ill.那個小丑好像害病似的。（虛擬語氣）
* The clown looked as if he had been ill.那個小丑過去好像生過病。（過去生過病或虛擬語氣）
as if 是連詞詞組，意為“好像、好似”，相當于 as though, 一般用于句型 It looks / seems as if …中，其意思是“看起來好像……”。其中 it 為形式主語，沒有實際意義。 looks / seems 是連系動詞， as if 引導的是表語從句。如果所引導的從句所表示的情況接近事實，句子要用陳述語氣。例如：
1. It looks as if it hasn"t been washed following the instructions.
看來，它（這件襯衫）好像沒有被按照說明進行洗滌。
2. It seemed as if the bag had been pressed by something heavy.
看來這個包被什么重東西壓過。
3. It seemed as if the suit was made to his own measure.
這套西服看上去是按他的尺寸訂做的。
除此之外， as if 也可以引導方式狀語從句，修飾主句中的謂語，此時從句中的謂語動詞常用虛擬語氣。例如：
1. He acts （ acted ） as if （ though ） he were an expert.
他的做法就像是個專家。
2. They talked （ are talking ） as if （ though ） they had been friends for years.
他們談起話來就像多年的老朋友。
3. The woman loves the children as if she were their mother.
這個婦女很愛這些孩子，就好像是他們的媽媽一樣。
關于though的用法及解釋(3)
but, however, while, although和though用法小結
【觀察】閱讀下列句子，注意各句中黑體單詞的用法。
1. We have made some achievements, but we should be modest.
2. He promised to help me. However, he is busy and hasn’t come.
3. She felt ill. She went to work, however, and tried to concentrate.
4. He said that it was so; he was mistaken, however.
5. You like sports, while I’d rather read.
6. While I understand what you say, I can’t agree with you.
7. Although / Though it was late, she went on working.
8. Tired though he was, he went on working.?
9. Although he’s got a good job now, he still complains.
10. She promised to phone. I heard nothing, though.
【歸納總結】
★but與however均可表示轉折，意為“但是，然而”，都可以引出表轉折意義的句子（句1-句4），但二者用法也有區別：
1. 從語義上看，but所表示的是非常明顯的對比，轉折的意味較however要強。
2. 從語法上看，but是個并列連詞，而however卻是個連接副詞（句2-句4）。
3. 從語序上看，but總是位于它所引出的分句之首，而however可位于句首、句中或句尾。
4. 從標點上說，but之后一般不使用逗號，但however則通常用逗號與句子其他部分分開。
★連詞while的用法
1. 引導表對比關系的并列句，意為“而，然而”（句5）。
2. 引導讓步狀語從句，意為“雖然，盡管”，多放在句首（句6）。
★although與though的用法
1. although與though用作連詞時，意為“雖然，盡管”，引導讓步狀語從句（句7）。although在大多數情況下可與though通用。但在正式文體中，though可用于一種不以其為首的讓步狀語從句，這種從句須以形容詞等開頭，整個從句須置于主句之前（句8），這時although不能替換though。
2. although / though引導從句時，主句不可再使用but, however等，但可出現副詞still等（句9）。
3. though可用作副詞，意為“可是，不過”，一般放在句末（句10），但although一般不用作副詞。

關于though的用法及解釋(5)
考點80： 表示“雖然， 即使， 盡管”的讓步狀語從句的用法
1. although， though， even though， even if都表示“雖然， 即使， 盡管”之意， though 和although 語氣較弱(其中的though 比although 通俗, 不如although 正式)， even if和even though 帶有強調意味而顯得語氣更強。例如： Although they are poor, they are happy. 雖然他們很窮， 但很快樂。// Although it was so cold, he went out without an overcoat. 天氣雖然很冷, 但他沒有穿大衣就出去了。// Though they may not succeed, they will still try. 即使他們可能不會成功， 但他們仍努力嘗試。 // The article is very important though it is short. 那篇文章雖然很短， 但很重要。// He is better, though not yet cured. 他好一點了， 雖仍未痊愈。// Even though it was raining, she walked to work. 即使下雨， 她也是走著去工作的。// I’ll visit him this evening even if I can stay only a few minutes. 今晚我將去拜訪他， 即使我只能停留一小會兒。
注意： though 引導的讓步狀語從句的用法比較特殊， 它可以倒裝， 也可以不倒裝， 具體用法參見as引導讓步狀語從句的用法。
2. as引導讓步狀語從句表示“雖然、 即使、 盡管”， 其引導的讓步狀語從句必須采用倒裝結構， as引導的倒裝形式的讓步狀語從句的基本結構為： 形容詞/副詞/名詞(單數可數名詞前一般不帶冠詞， 有時也可見單數可數名詞前形容詞與不定冠詞連用、 形容詞放在不定冠詞前)/動詞/過去分詞＋as＋主語＋謂語的其他部分。注意體會下列典型例句： Great as the author was, he proved a bad model. 這位作者盡管了不起， 到頭來卻成了一個壞榜樣。// Ridiculous as it seems, the tale is true. 這個故事看似荒唐， 卻是真的。// Rich as he is, he is not happy. 雖然他很富有， 但他并不幸福。// Child as he is, he can tell black from white.(倒裝時要省去單個名詞前的冠詞)盡管還是個孩子， 他卻能分辨黑白。// Brave (a) man as he is, he trembles at the sight of snakes. 他盡管勇敢， 可見到蛇還是發抖。 // Badly wounded as he was, he remained quite optimistic. 盡管傷勢很重， 他仍然十分樂觀。// Try as he would, he could not lift the rock. 雖然盡了最大努力， 但是他仍然不能搬動那塊石頭。

［答案］ A
［解析］ 英語不允許在連詞although、 though引導的讓步狀語從句之后的主句句首重復使用連詞， 如果要在復合句中強調某種特別的意義， 可以在主句的句首加上yet、 still等副詞。例如： Although she has a lot of money, (yet/still) she is not happy. 雖然她很有錢， 但是她并不快樂。
本題題干中沒有通過特定的語境暗示需要對主句進行特別強調， 因此只需用although引導讓步狀語從句即可， 不必在主句的句首加副詞(更不能在主句的句首加連詞)。注意： 本題中的works指“作品、 著作”， 例如表達“莎士比亞的作品”可以用“the works of Shakespeare”。

A. A quiet student as he may be B. Quiet student as he may be
C. Be a quiet student as he may D. Quiet as he may be a student
［答案］ B

［考題9］ ____, I have never seen anyone who’s as capable as John. (2001上海)
A. As long as I have traveled B. Now that I have traveled so much

關于though的用法及解釋(6)
even though 和 even if的用法與區別英語四級考試又過去了一次，接下來要面對的又是6月的四六級考試，同學們做好準備了嗎？今天給大家介紹一下even though 和 even if的用法與區別。
even though 和 even if 均可用于引導讓步狀語從句，其細微區別是：
1、even if 引導的從句是往往是假設性的，相當于漢語的“即使”“縱然”“就算”“哪怕”。如：
They"ll stand by you even if you don"t succeed. 即使你不成功他們也都會支持你。
Even if I have to walk all the way I"ll get there. 即使我得一路走著去我也要走到那里。
Even if it rains tomorrow, we won"t change our plan. 即使明天下雨我們也決不改變計劃。
For my part, I plan to go to the party even if you decide not to go. 至于我，就算你決定不去參加晚會我也會去的。
Even if you saw him pick up the money, you can"t be sure he stole it. 就算你看見是他拾起的錢，你也不能確定錢是他偷的。
就因為even if從句的內容大多時候都是假設性的，所以有時還可用于虛擬語氣;這樣用與單獨使用的if比較接近。如：
Even if he had the money, he wouldn"t buy it. 他即使有錢也不會買它。
I would have married her even if she had been penniless. 即使她一無所有，我也會和她結婚。
2、even though 引導的從句內容往往是真實的，主要用來引出不利于主句的信息，相當于漢語的“盡管”“雖然”。如：
He went out even though it was raining. 盡管在下雨，他還是出去了。
Even though it"s hard work, I enjoy it. 雖然工作艱苦，我還是很喜歡。
He"s the best teacher even though he has the least experience. 他盡管經驗最少，但教得最好。
Even though I didn"t know anybody at the party, I had a nice time. 盡管這次聚會上我誰也不認識，我也玩得挺痛快。
這樣用的even though與though或although的意思比較接近，許多時候可以互換(注意：英語可以說though和even though，但不能說even although)。如：
Even though [Thought, Although] I felt sorry for him, l was secretly pleased that he was having difficulties. 雖然我為他感到惋惜，但對他的困難卻暗自高興。
Even though [Thought, Although] we all tried our best, we lost the game. 雖然我們已盡了最大的力量，但還是輸了。
3、不過，在實際語言運用中，even if與even though有時也可不加區別地混用。如：
Even if [Even though] she laughs at him, he likes her. 盡管她嘲笑他，他還是很喜歡她。
We thoroughly understand each other, even if [even though] we don"t always agree. 我們彼此非常了解，雖然有時候也有一些分歧。
關于though的用法及解釋(7)
although與though的用法區別
?
一、用作連詞
表示“雖然”，兩者大致同義，可換用，只是 although 比 though 更為正式：

Though [Although] it was barely four o’clock, the lights were already on. 盡管才四點鐘，燈已經亮了。
Though [Although] we are poor, we are still happy. 我們雖然窮，仍然很快活。

It’s hard work; I enjoy it though. 工作很辛苦，可是我樂意干。
He is looking fit, though. 但他看起來很健康。
You can count on him, though. 不過你可以指靠他。
?
三、用于習語
在 as though(好像，仿佛)，even though(即使，縱然)等固定短語中不能用 although：

Poor though I am, I can afford it. 我雖窮，但這東西還是買得起的。
Child though he was, he did quite well. 他雖是孩子，但干得很好。
?

2. even though 引導的從句內容往往是真實的，主要用于引出不利用于主句情況的信息，相當于漢語的“盡管”“雖然”。如：
