although和though都可作连词,引导让步状语从句,意思是“虽然······但是······”。尽管我们在汉语中表达转折的时候,通常说“虽然······但是······”,可是在英语中,although/though是不能与but连用的。例:
Although my brother is clever , he doesn’t work hard.虽然我弟弟很聪明,但是他不刻苦。
Although the rich man has lots of money, he doesn’t feel happy.虽然那个富人很有钱,但是他却感觉不快乐。
although虽然不可以和 but连用,但是可以和 yet或still连用。试比较:

There is no new word in the article , but she can’t understand it.(√)
