9. though conj.尽管，虽然
although和 though同义，在一般情况下，可以互换使用。 只是 though较普遍，常用于非正式的口语或书面语中，而 although则较为正式。 另外 although语气比 though重，常用以强调让步概念。 如： Though/Although my car is very old, I don' t want to buy a new one. 虽然我的汽车很旧，但我不想买一辆新的。 |
even能和 though组合表示强调，但even不能和 although组合。 因此，不能说even although，在这里 even though= even if (no matter if, though)即使...也…如:Even if/ Even though we could afford it, we wouldn’t go abroad for our vocation. 即使我们付得起这笔钱，也不出国度假。 |
though可以独立用作副词，常放在句末，意为 however(可是；然而)，而 although无此用法。 如： She didn’t tell me what she had done, but I know it though. 她没有告诉我她所做的事情，但我还是知道了。 |
在 although和 though引导的让步状语从句中，主句里不可用but，若要强调前后两部分的对比意义，可在主句前加yet或still 如： Although/Though he has a lot of money, yet/still he is unhappy。 日本的全称他虽然有很多钱，但并不幸福 |

adv. | 高,高高地:在(向)高处;如: She threw the ball high into the air.她把球高高地抛向天空。 |
[友情视醒之一]high既是个形容词也是个副词,当其为副词时,与highly母女情深区别如下：中考试题high指的是具体含义上的“高”, highly指的是抽象意义上的“高度地,非常好地”。 [友情提醒之二]一直的英文请注意区分 clo与 cloly: clo既可用作形容词,也可用作用作副词时,它主要表示“(空间上的)靠近、接近”。而副词板结 cloly主要用于 “紧密地”、“仔细地”“密切地” [友情提醒之三]请举一反三地思考:deep&deeply;wide& widely等词的区别 |
