【though的用法】“Though” 是一个常见的英语连词,常用于引导让步状语从句,表示“虽然……但是……”。它在句子中起到转折的作用,强调后半部分的内容与前半部分形成对比。以下是关于 “though”的主要用法总结。
一、基本用法
1. 引导让步状语从句
Though + 主语 + 动词(时态可变),主句可以用 but 或不加。
例句:Though it was raining, we went out.
(虽然下雨了,我们还是出去了。)
2. 放在句尾,语气更自然
主句 + though + 从句结构较少见,但有时也可用于句尾。
例句:We went out, though it was raining.
(我们出去了,尽管下雨了。)
3. 与 although 的区别
Though 和 although 用法相似,但 though 更口语化,而 although 更正式。
例句:Although he is rich, he is not happy. / Though he is rich, he is not happy.
4. 与 even if 的区别
Though 表示的是事实上的让步,而 even if 强调假设条件。
例句:Though I am tired, I will go.(我虽然累,但我还是会去。)
Even if I am tired, I will go.(即使我累,我也要走。)
二、特殊用法
用法 | 说明 | 例句 |
Though + 形容词/副词 | 表示“尽管……”,常用于倒装结构 | Though tired, she continued working.(尽管累了,她继续工作。) |
Though + 完成时 | 表示“虽然已经……” | Though he had finished his work, he stayed late.(虽然他已经完成了工作,但他留到很晚。) |
Though + 可数名词复数 | 表示“尽管有……” | Though many people said no, she still tried.(尽管很多人说不,她还是尝试了。) |
三、常见错误
- 混淆 though 和 although
虽然两者意思相近,但在正式写作中尽量使用 although。
- 重复使用 but
Though 后面不能接 but,因为它们都表示“虽然”,逻辑上重复。
❌ Though it was raining, but we went out.
✅ Though it was raining, we went out.
- 误用在句首
Though 不可以单独放在句首,除非是倒装结构。
❌ Though it was raining, we went out.(正确)
❌ Though it was raining, but we went out.(错误)
