单词 | even if(even though) |
释义 | even if : even though — 299 严格说来,这两个复合连词虽然都表达让步,却不能等同使用: even if 作“即使”讲,而 even though 则是“尽管”的意思(参见词条 P.300 )。 例如: Even if I become a millionaire, I shall be always a socialist. 即使我成了百万富翁,也将永远是个社会主义者。 Event though I didn't know anybody at the party, I had a good time. 尽管在这次宴会上我一个人也不认识,我同样过得挺痛快。 Even if it is temporal, it is a good plan. 虽说这个计划是暂时的,却订得不赖。 Even though you didn't like wine, try a glass of this. 尽管你不喜欢喝酒,请尝尝这一杯。 比较: He won't come to the concert even if he has nothing else to do. 即使他没有什么其它事要干,他也不会到音乐会来。(假定的意思) He won't come to the concert, even though he has nothing else to do. 甚至他没有其它什么事可干,他也不会到音乐会来。(推论的意思) |
