【句子】

尽管模仿鸟学很多种鸟的鸣叫声惟妙惟肖,但人类还是能够依其声音上的线索很快识别它们。
【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 old, (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:
But Ididn’t know that then, although I learned it later.
但我当时的确不知道此事,尽管后来还是知道了。
2)有时用于主句之后,起补充说明的作用,相当于 however, but
He is poor-- although he is well contented.
他很穷,然而却能知足常乐。
3)若主从句主语相同,且从句谓语含有动词be, 可将从句主语和动词 be 省略
Although (he is) quite young, he knows a lot.
虽然很年轻,但他很懂事了。
4)不能用于 as though (好像),even though (即使) 等习语中代替 although, 也不用于让步状语的倒装形式中。
