even though 和 although的用法差異是什麼

3 個回答

even though 和although其實像一對異卵雙胞胎,他們的意思一樣,詞性一樣,甚至用法其實也是一樣的,但他們表達的語氣和用在什麼樣的語境是不一樣的。


強調語氣不同



even though 和although同為conjunctions(連詞)

用法就是


Even though +從句

Although + 從句


even though 和although 不一樣的地方是,因為加了even這個程度副詞(even本身可以表示甚至), 所以用even though時的語氣被增強了。


語氣可以透過語境去理解


語境1:小明很飽,但他還是想吃東西。 於是他說:

Although I'm full, I still would like to eat something.

我很飽,但我還是想吃點東西。

語境2:小明已經飽的吃不下,但他還是很想吃東西。 於是他說:

Even though I am so full that I couldn't eat anything anymore, I still want to eat more!

即使我飽的已經吃不下東西,我還是依然很想吃東西!


以上兩個例子,可以看出,我們可以用even though去增強轉折的語氣,使前面的子句強調更嚴重的動作行為,讓後面的子句有更強烈的轉折。


根據語境去選擇使用even though 或者although


不同語境下,很多詞彙都有不同的作用,有時不一定只是意思上的作用。 也有語氣和強調的作用。大家要根據語境去選擇使用喔~

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. 儘管才四點鐘,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,可是我樂意幹。

  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、用於習語

  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. 儘管我反對過他,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. 儘管她有很多男朋友,她總是害怕男人。

  四、用於倒裝

  though 引導的讓步狀語從句可用部分倒裝的形式(注意:倒裝後位於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,但幹得很好。
