although and but 的分別?

although

in spite of (the fact that...)

but, except that

[edit] Usage notes
When conjunctions, the words "although" and "though" are generally interchangeable:
Although she smiled, she was angry. = Though she smiled, she was angry.
"Although" is usually placed at the beginning of its clause, whereas "though" may occur elsewhere and is the more common term when used to link words or phrases (as in "wiser though poorer"). In certain constructions, only "though" is acceptable:
Fond though I am of sports, I'd rather not sit through another basketball game.

[edit] Synonyms
(in spite of): notwithstanding (that), even if, albeit (that)

even though

[edit] Usage notes
Beginning a sentence with but or any other conjunction is considered incorrect by classical grammarians, but use of the word in this way is very common. It is however best to avoid beginning a sentence with but in formal writing.

"Although" 的意思是雖然，"But"的意思是不過。
兩者皆用於連接兩句意思相反的句子，不過"Although" 須放於句子之前，而 "but"須放於comma之後。
"Although"與"But"不可同時出現同一句句子。
以下為用Although的例句︰
1. Although Kevin likes eating sweet food, he doesn't like eating chocolate.
2. Although he likes playing ball games, he doesn't like playing football.
3. Although he enjoys travelling by taxi, he usually goes to work by bus.
4. Although he hates feeling hot, he seldom uses the air-con.

2. He likes playing ball games, but he doesn't like playing football.

兩組例句的意思相同，只不過一組用"Although"，一組用"But"。

Although = 雖然..., 但是.....
But = .....但是.....

中文文法/雖然...但是/會一起出現，但英文里不会一起用，因Although已包含/但是/的意思
