一、详细释义：


conj.

虽然，尽管


例句：

虽然康尼处于和癌症搏斗的晚期，但她仍然神智清醒，精神愉快。


例句：

Although commission pricing is a common practice in Western countries, the method is different in China.

虽然回扣价在西方国家是很普遍的现象，但是回扣的方式与中国不同。


例句：

[Although] my uncle is old, he looks very strong and healthy.

我的叔叔虽然老了，但他看上去还是很健壮。


二、词义辨析：


though,although,as

这些连词均可表示“虽然，尽管”之意。 though和although在意义上几乎毫无区别，但文体上后者是较正式用词，语气比though强。此外，在习惯用法上这两个词仍有以下一些差异：可引出倒装语序的让步状语从句，although 则不能。可与even连用，although则不能；在as though结构中，只用though，不能用although。可以置于从句末，而although则不能。4.引出省略句时，通常用though。 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。


三、参考例句：


Although thirty, he is childlike.

尽管他已三十岁了，但还是孩子般的无邪。


She was civil, although distant.

她虽然态度冷淡，倒还算客气。
