although 是什麼?

although – 英語中的轉折連詞
Although 是一個連詞,在漢語中意為「雖然、儘管、即使」。此結構用來表達句子中兩個部分的對立或對比關係。
although例句:
- He decided to go, although I begged him not to.
(他決定離開,儘管我懇求他不要走。) - Although she knew that it was dangerous, she still walked home by herself.
(雖然知道有危險,但她仍獨自步行回家。)
although 用法
although 在句首的用法

Although 可以置於句首,後接一個包含主語和謂語的子句,形成「Although + S + V」的結構。由於 although 是一個從屬子句,它需要有一個主要子句來構成完整的語意。
結構:
although + S1 + V1 + …, S2 + V2 + … |
範例:
- Although it was rainy, we put on our jackets and went for a walk.
(儘管下雨,但我們仍然穿上外套去散步。) - Although the laptop was expensive, I still bought it.
(雖然這台筆記型電腦很昂貴,但我還是買了它。)
重要注意:
- 在翻譯成漢語時,although 的意思是「雖然……但是……」,但在英語中,主要子句不能使用“but”
- 相反地,只需用逗號(,)來分隔兩個子句即可。
although 用法 句中

除了可以位於句首外,although 也可以放在句中,結構如下:
S1 + V1 + … although S2 + V2 + … |
範例:
- She’ll be coming tonight although I don’t know exactly when.
(她今晚會來,儘管我不確定確切時間。) - I still bought that dress although it was expensive.
(儘管這條裙子很貴,我還是買了它。)
注意: 當主要子句位於前方時,兩個子句之間不需要使用逗號。
although 在省略句中的結構

Although 也可以用來引導無動詞的子句(省略句)。然而,只有當兩個子句的主語相同時,才能省略動詞。
結構:
Although + V-ing/N/Adj/P2, S + V |
範例:
- Although listening to the song until the end, I still don’t get it.
(雖然聽完了這首歌,我還是不明白。) - Although a hard worker, I didn’t get a raise.
(儘管是一名勤奮的工人,我仍然沒有獲得加薪。) - Although quite clever, he was not able to solve the problem.
(雖然他相當聰明,但他仍然無法解決這個問題。) - Her phone, although fixed 1 week ago, has broken down again.
(儘管手機在一週前剛修理過,但它又壞了。)
