尽管;虽然;但是;然而;即使;不过;

although的基本意思是“尽管,虽然”或“然而,但是”,常用于引导陈述语气的让步状语从句,且引导的句子常指事实,而不指设想。
这两个词都可表示“虽然”。它们的区别是:
1.although的语气较重,引导的句子常指事实; though引导的句子可表示假设。
2.though可以引起从句的主语和谓语部分倒装,而although不可。
3.although只用作连词; 而though除用作连词外,还可用作副词。另外,though可用作并列连词,也可用作从属连词;而although只能用作从属连词。
4.though可用于even though, as though, what though等结构; 而although不能。
这些连词都可表示“虽然,尽管”之意。
though和although在意义上几乎毫无区别,但在习惯用法上这两个词仍有以下一些差异:1.though可引出倒装语序的让步状语从句,although 则不能。2.though可与even连用,although则不能;在as though结构中,只用though,不能用although。3.though可以置于从句末,而although则不能。4.引出省略句时,通常用though。
although与though在意义上相似,但文体上是比较正式用词,语气比though强。
as引出让步状语从句只用于倒装语序结构中,语气强于上述两个连词。
even though(=even if),意为“即使”,引导让步状语从句。though也引导让步状语从句,意为“虽然”;even though有退一步设想的意味,与though不同。though引导的句子所说的是事实,even though引导的句子所说的则不一定是事实。例如:
联想记忆法
分析:al——all(所有的)的近似拼写;though——thought(think“想”的过去式);
记忆方法:虽然所有的线索都想过了,但还是想不出来。
