because 说明原因,so 引出结果
We stayed home because it rained 先说结果,再给原因。It rained, so we stayed home 先说原因,再给结果。中文可以说“因为……所以……”,本课的标准英语句型选择其中一套连接方式。
I took the bus because it was raining.
因为在下雨,我坐了公交车。
The shop was closed, so we went home.
商店关门了,所以我们回家了。
although 引出让步,but 连接转折
Although I was tired, I finished the task 与 I was tired, but I finished the task 都表达转折。although 后需要一个句子;despite 后通常接名词或动词-ing。
Although the room is small, it is comfortable.
虽然房间小,但很舒适。
It was cold, but we enjoyed the walk.
天很冷,但我们享受了这次散步。
