形式與用法

even though
用於讓步子句,表示與事實相反或出乎意料的對比,語氣比 although 稍強。可放在句首或句中。句首時,從屬子句後面要加逗號。結構為 even though + 主詞 + 動詞(必須是完整子句),不可直接接名詞或動名詞。不可與 but 同時使用(避免雙重連接詞)。
範例:
Even though it was raining, we still played basketball after school.
即使在下雨,我們放學後仍然打籃球。
其他形式:
although
意義與 even though 類似,但語氣通常較弱。可放句首或句中;句首時,子句後加逗號。不可與 but 並用。
範例:
Although I was tired, I finished my homework.
雖然我很累,我還是把作業做完了。
though
較口語;作連接詞時與 although 類似。也可放在句尾作為語氣轉折副詞(例如:It’s expensive, though.)。不可與 but 並用。
範例:
Though it was late, he kept practicing the piano.
雖然已經很晚了,他還是繼續練鋼琴。
even if
表示假設條件(不一定是真的),與 even though(描述已知事實)不同。結構同為 even if + 主詞 + 動詞。
範例:
Even if it rains tomorrow, we’ll still have the picnic.
即使明天下雨(假設),我們仍然會去野餐。

常見錯誤

Even though it rained, but we still played.
Even though it rained, we still played.
不可同時使用 even though 與 but(避免雙重連接詞)。用 even though 引導讓步子句後,直接接主句即可。
Even though the rain, we kept playing.
Even though it rained, we kept playing.
even though 後面必須接完整子句(主詞+動詞),不能接名詞片語。若要接名詞,請改用 despite/in spite of(如:Despite the rain, ...)。
Even though it rains tomorrow, we’ll go hiking.(要表達假設)
Even if it rains tomorrow, we’ll go hiking.
even though 描述已知或既成的事實;表達「假設/不一定會發生」要用 even if。
