如何正確使用 though / even though / although?

001 含義有相似之處,但有些許不同:

though , 更多用於口語

-conj. 連接詞:雖然,儘管

Though it is raining, I still have to go out. (儘管下雨了,我還是要出門。)

-adv. 副詞:然而,還是(一般放在句尾)

It was a hard job, he took it though. (這是份苦差事,他還是接受了。)

even though

-ph. 短語,片語:即使,縱然,儘管

Even though I were in his place, I would not go. (即使我在他的地位,我也不願意去。)

although, 與though相比,語氣更重一些,也更適用於書面用語。

-conj. 連接詞: 雖然,儘管,然而

Although it is a nice day, I still don't want to go out. (雖然天氣很好,我還是不想出門。)

002 使用上的注意事項:

三者均可用於句首,但是句子中需要有謂語動詞;用在句首時,兩個(相對比的)句子中間需要有逗號。

Although(/Even though/Though) everyone played well , we lost the game.

三者用在句子中間時,不需要用逗號間隔。

2) We lost the game although(/even though/though) everyone played well.

even 一詞無法單獨用在句首擔當even though / though /although 的功能。

Even everyone played well, we lost the game.

ps. 附上部分英文解釋

You can use these words to show contrast between two clauses or two sentences.

Though is used more in spoken than in written English.

You can use although, even though and though at the beginning of a sentence or clause that has a verb.

Notice where the comma goes:

1) Although/Even though/Though everyone played well, we lost the game.

2) We lost the game although/even though/though everyone played well.

You cannot use even on its own at the beginning of a sentence or clause instead of although, even though or though:
