though 英文词源

though

though: [12] English borrowed though from Old Norse thōh, and by the end of the 15th century it had virtually wiped out the related native form, which went back to Old English thēah. Both came from a prehistoric Germanic adverb formed from the demonstrative base *tha- (source also of English that, there, etc) and a suffix meaning ‘and’. Modern Germanic relatives include German and Dutch doch.
=> the

though (adv., conj.)

c. 1200, from Old English þeah "though, although, even if, however, nevertheless, although, still, yet;" and in part from Old Norse þo "though," both from Proto-Germanic *thaukh (cognates: Gothic þauh, Old Frisian thach, Middle Dutch, Dutch doch, Old High German doh, German doch), from PIE demonstrative pronoun *to- (see that). The evolution of the terminal sound did not follow laugh, tough, etc., though a tendency to end the word in "f" existed c. 1300-1750 and persists in dialects.

though 同义词解析

though, although, as

这些连词均可表示"虽然，尽管"之意。

though和although在意义上几乎毫无区别，但文体上后者是较正式用词，语气比though强。此外，在习惯用法上这两个词仍有以下一些差异：1.though可引出倒装语序的让步状语从句，although 则不能。2.though可与even连用，although则不能；在as though结构中，只用though，不能用although。3.though可以置于从句末，而although则不能。4.引出省略句时，通常用though。

as： 引出让步状语从句只用于倒装语序结构中，语气强于上述两个连词。
