修改原因
修改前Even if it was raining, we went for a walk along the river.
修改后Even though it was raining, we went for a walk along the river.
Even if 与 even though 都以 even 开头,容易混淆。Even if 谈的是可能发生的情况,例如 even if it rains tomorrow。但例句中的雨确实已经下了,因此要用 even though;其余部分保持不变。
Even though 与 although 可以互换,主要区别在强调程度。Although it was late, we went out 语气较平;Even though it was nearly two in the morning, we went out for pizza 更突出时间很晚还出门的意外。口语中的 though 还可以放在句末:The food wasn't great, though。Even though 不这样单独放在句末。
动手练习
Anna still works as a waitress ___ she graduated from medical school two years ago.
查看答案
even though — Anna 确实两年前从医学院毕业,现在却还在当服务员,这里是在对照事实,所以用 even though。Even if 用于可能的情况,例如 She'll keep this job even if she gets a better offer。
写一件虽然不方便或有困难,你仍坚持做的事。在 even though 后说明具体困难。
I still go to my Spanish class every Tuesday even though it finishes at nine and I get home really late.
