Question

英语中while,though,although有什么区别?

Answer 1

4.although：while
这两个连词都可用于让步结构,但两者所连接的句子的主从关系恰好相反.（注：though与while也是这样)
比较：
Although it looks like a huge monster,that country is in essence a paper tiger．
虽然看起来像个庞然大物,那个国家在本质上却是一只纸老虎.
While it is in essence a paper tiger,that country looks like a huge monster．
尽管本质上是只纸老虎,那个国家看起来倒像个庞然大物.
这几个要多在实际练习中,运用了仔细体会,就会了.although在表示让步语义时是最为通用的从属连词,所引导的从句往往使主句内容含有似乎使人感到意外或料想不到之意.
而while引导的让步状语从句在意义上一般与主句的对比不太强烈,即主句与从句只是部分不一致
