"Although"是英语中常用的连词,表示转折、对比的关系。在句子中,它通常出现在主句之前,用来引导一个从句。在使用"although"时,需要注意以下几个语法点:
1. "Although"引导的从句要使用倒装语序
当"although"引导的从句放在句首时,从句中的主语和谓语要倒装。例如:
- Although he is tired, he still keeps working. (尽管他很累,他仍然坚持工作。)
- Although it was raining heavily, they still went out for a walk. (虽然下着大雨,他们还是出去散步了。)
2. "Although"可以与"but"和"yet"组合使用
在句子中,"although"常常与"but"或"yet"等连词组合使用,表示对比的关系。例如:
- Although he is smart, he is lazy. But his brother is not as smart as him, yet he is hardworking.(尽管他很聪明,但他很懒惰。但他的兄弟不如他聪明,但他很勤奋。)
3. "Although"与"despite"的用法区别
"Although"和"despite"都可以表示转折的关系,但它们的用法有所不同。"Although"引导的从句中通常有一个转折的意思,而"despite"引导的短语则表示一种让步的关系。例如:
- Although it was cold outside, she still went for a walk. (尽管外面很冷,她还是去散步了。)
- Despite the cold weather, she still went for a walk. (尽管天气很冷,她还是去散步了。)
