相信很多 英语 学习者曾经或正有如下困惑：although 和 though 究竟有啥区别？

事实上，这两个英语单词也没多大区别。主要区别见下图：

although和though的相似点

although 和 though都表述虽然的意思，二者的共同点主要如下：

1. 都可以引导英语状语从句，且用法一样

• Everyone enjoyed the trip to the final although/though we lost the match!
• Although/Though it was rainy, we put on our jackets and went for a walk.

请注意：当although/though在句首时，中间得有逗号，而放在句中时，中间无需逗号。

although和though的不同点

1. 在口语中，though 比 although更常用，同时，可以在though前面加上even表示强调

• A: You have six hours in the airport between flights!
• B: I don't mind, though (=however). I have lots of work to do.

• A: It's expensive.
• B: It's nice, though (=however).
