Vicki：Where did you go to college?
Jennifer：In Harbin.
Vicki：Wow, it must be very cold in winter.
Jennifer：Uh...Although it’s very cold outside, it’s quite warm inside.
Vicki：Really? How come?
Jennifer：Heating system is used in the north in winter. We can eat ice cream inside though it’s snowing outside.
Vicki：Cool, I wish I could go to the north sometime.
剛剛Vicki和Jennifer的對話中出現了兩個從句，你記得是哪兩個嗎？
是Although it’s very cold outside, it’s quite warm inside.
We can eat ice cream inside though it’s snowing outside.我們已經學習過了狀語從句，仔細觀察這兩個句子，你能找到它們的從屬連詞嗎？
第一個句子的從屬連詞是although，第二個句子的從屬連詞是though。
Although it’s very cold outside, it’s quite warm inside.We can eat ice cream inside though it’s snowing outside.
although和though都是“雖然；儘管”的意思，第一句話的意思是：雖然外面很冷，但裡面非常暖和。
第二句話的意思是：雖然外面在下雪，但我們可以在室內吃冰激凌。
由這兩個句子可知，由although和though連接的，表示“雖然……，（但是）……”的從句，叫作“讓步狀語從句”。
（讓步狀語從句）
關於though和although這兩個從屬連詞，有三點是我們要注意的哦。（although和though的用法）
1.although和though都意為“雖然；儘管”，though較普遍，常用於非正式的口語或書面語中，而although較為正式，語氣比though重。
2. although和though都不能和but連用， 只能選擇其一，因為他們屬於不同類型的連詞，不能混用。 也就是說剛剛對話中的兩個句子不可以表達成：
Although it’s very cold outside, but it’s quite warm inside.
But we can eat ice cream inside though it’s snowing outside.
那有其他的連詞和它們連用來表達“雖然......但是......”的意思嗎？比如although和though可以和yet或still連用，構成though/although...yet或though/although..still，意思是“雖然......但是......”。
例如：Although he was tired, he was still working. 雖然他很累，但他還在工作。
Though he is young, yet he knows a lot.雖然他很年輕，但是他知道很多。
3.even可以和though搭配使用，此時even though = even if，表示“即使.......也......”。但是even不可以和although搭配使用哦。Molly，你能用even though舉個例子嗎？
Even though you do not like it, you must do it.
即使你不喜歡這工作，你也得做。
Though the wound be healed yet a scar remains.創傷可癒合,傷疤猶留存。關於讓步狀語從句的諺語也不少呢，掌握好它們也可以給你的英文寫作添加一抹亮色哦！
