Question

though conj.虽然；尽管；然而；可是adv.（用在句末补充说明使语气减弱）不过 (1) 虽然我们已尽了最大的力量,但还是输了。(2) 我对他并不了解，虽然我认识他已经很长时间了。(3) 尽管任务困难,他们仍按时完成了。(4) 他们可能会获胜，然而没有人这样认为。(5) 他说他要来，可是并没有来。(6) 我们队输了，可是这也不失为一场好球。 There are two basic kinds of the so-called coordinating conjunctions: those that connect similar thoughts — for example, "and" — and those that disconnect similar thoughts — for instance, "but" and "however." Though fits into the second category. For example "Though Prince is considered 'older' by rock-star standards, his concerts put those of most kids half his age to shame." The "though" in that sentence gets its power from the comma at the midpoint, because that's where the two opposing ideas meet. The word Though at the beginning tells us to look for that comma.
