「生活英文」even though even if even so 有什么不一样?
even though 的用法
我们会用 even though「虽然、尽管」来讲某件可能有点令人意外的事实,或描述某个既定的、公认的事实。用法有点像 despite / in spite of the fact that...「尽管事实是如此」。我们来看几个例子!
Even though it was raining, he still managed to make it to work on time.尽管在下雨,他还是设法准时上班。I’m not interested in the movie, even though I was invited to the premiere.尽管我被邀请参加首映,我对这部电影不感兴趣。Even though she was upset, she tried to look on the bright side.尽管心烦意乱,她还是试着保持乐观。
even if 的用法
我们会用even if「即使、就算」来引导虚拟语气或讲某件假设的事情,所以有可能不是真的。来看个例子!
Even if I win the lottery, I will always lead a simple life.即使我中了彩票,我还是会过着简单的生活。I won’t be able to finish the job on time even if I work overtime.即使加班,我也无法按时完成工作。Even if you apologize to me, I still can’t forgive you for what you’ve done.即使你向我道歉,我也无法原谅你所做的一切。
除了上面提到的两个词组 之外,其实还有一个词组也是大家常常会搞混的,那就是 even so「尽管如此、然而」。我们会用 even so 来陈述一个令人惊讶或是出乎意料的结果,用法类似however,也可以搭配 but 一起使用,变成 but even so..strong>.p>
Her Chinese wasn’t very good. Even so, she still traveled in China on her own.她的中文不是很好。尽管如此,她仍然独自在中国旅行。I had a serious headache yesterday, but even so I went to school.我昨天有严重的头痛,但尽管如此我还是去了学校。The tool was very old, but even so it was still useful.这个工具很旧了,但尽管如此它还是很实用。
※注意用这个词组时,要连接前后两个子句的话也要像例句一样加上 but 喔。
