语法知识点 Grammar points

Though barriers may sometimes stand in the way of your dreams, remember that your destiny is hiding behind them. 此处前后两个句子在逻辑上构成转折关系,是由though引导的转折用法。

though是“虽然”的意思,既可以放句首,也可以放句末。用法和although大致相同。

1.用作连词表示“虽然”,两者大致同义,可换用,只是although比though更为正式:

Though /Although it was cold,we went out.

虽然很冷,但我们还是出门了。

Though /Although it was barely nine o’clock, she has already gone to bed.

尽管才九点钟,她已经上床睡觉了。

Though /Although we are poor, we are still happy.

我们虽然穷,仍然很幸福。

2.although一般不用作副词,而though可用作副词,且一般放在句末(不放在句首),意为“可是”、“不过”:

It’s hard work; I enjoy it though.

工作很辛苦,可是我乐意干。

You can count on him, though.

不过你可以指靠他。

3.一定要注意的是,though/although不能与but同时出现在一个句子里。例如:可以说,Poor though I am, I can afford it.或者I am poor, but I can afford it.但是不能说Poor though I am, but I can afford it.
