Hello! This week on Ask a Teacher, we answer a question from Edilson in Brazil about the difference between “though” and “however.”
你好！本周《名师答疑》，我们回答来自巴西的埃迪尔森的一个问题，即though和however之间的区别。
Hi, this is Edilson, from Brazil, I follow Ask a Teacher and I love the way you approach explanations, I have a question, could you please explain?
嗨，我是来自巴西的埃迪尔森，我关注了《名师答疑》节目，我喜欢你们解释问题的方式，我有个问题，你能解释一下吗？
What is the difference between the use of the words "THO" and "HOWEVER".
THO和HOWEVER这两个词的用法有什么区别。
Thank you for writing, Edilson.
感谢你的来信，埃迪尔森。
This is a good question.
这是一个好问题。
“Though” and “however” are words that show a relationship between ideas.
though和however表示想法之间的关系。
Often, they both express a difference in two or more things.
通常，它们都表示两个或多个事物之间的差异。
For example, John is nice, though he’s not as nice as Michael.
例如，约翰人不错，不过他没有迈克尔那么好。
Sofia wants to be a teacher. However, her parents want her to be a doctor.
索菲亚想当老师。但是，她的父母希望她当医生。
Sometimes, the words show a difference that is not expected.
有时，这些词表示一种出乎意料的差异。
For example, Mohammed makes me angry sometimes. I like him, though.
例如，穆罕默德有时会让我生气。不过我挺喜欢他。
The team did not win the competition. However, they are happy they played well.
这个队没有赢得比赛。然而，他们很高兴自己表现不错。
They have a similar meaning, but there are differences in how and when we use the two words.
这两个词有相似的含义，但是在我们如何以及何时使用这两个单词方面存在差异。
“Though” can show that one idea is not as important as another.
though可以表示一个想法不如另一个想法重要。
When we use “though” in this way, we use it after the main idea.
当我们以这种方式使用though时，我们会将其放在重要的思想之后。
For example, The event was fun, though I don’t know why.
例如，这个活动很有趣，虽然我不知道为什么。
The most important part of the sentence is that the event was fun.
句子最重要的部分是这个活动很有趣。
We use “though” a lot in spoken English, and it is very common at the end of a sentence, like in the example I like him, though.
我们在英语口语中经常使用though，经常把它放在句尾，例如“不过我挺喜欢他”这个例句。
We can use “however” to emphasize a difference.
我们可以用however来强调差异。
For example, I always feel busy. However, I am not as busy as you.
例如，我总是感觉很忙。然而，我不像你那么忙。
“However” is very common in written English.
however在书面英语中非常常见。
In spoken English, “however” can be used as a more forceful way of saying “how.”
在英语口语中，用however可以语气更加强烈地来说how。
When we use it this way, we stress the second part of the word, -ever.
当我们以这种方式使用这个单词时，我们要强调这个词的第二个音节-ever。
For example, However will I choose?
例如， 我到底要如何选择？
There are other differences between these two words, but we can talk about them another time.
这两个词还有其他的区别，但是我们可以以后再谈。
We hope this explanation helps you, Edilson.
我们希望这个解释能帮助你，埃迪尔森。
And that’s Ask a Teacher.
以上就是本期《名师答疑》的全部内容。
