【解析】
1.although的用法
1)表示“虽然”时,不要根据汉语习惯,在后面使用连词 but, 不过有时它可与 yet, still, nevertheless 等副词连用
他虽然年纪很大了, 但还很强壮。
正:Although he is very o ld, (yet) he is quite strong.
误:Although he is very old, but he is quite strong.
但是在一定的上下文中,类似下面的 although 与 but 连用的句子是可能的 (注意 but 引出的句子在 although 从句之前) 。如:
B ut Ididn’t know that then, although I lear ned it later.
但我当时的确不知道此事,尽管后来还是知道了。
