even if ,

extreme or surprising.

could not match up with you.
even
if
含有强烈的假定性，而
even
though
强调从句的事实。例如：
Even if he is poor, she
loves him. (=He may be poor, yet she loves
him.)
即使他很穷，但她还是爱他。
Even though he is poor, she loves him.
(=He is poor, yet she loves him. )
尽管他很穷，但她还是爱她。

一
.
从属连词
although, though, as,
even though, even if
的用法
1.
在自
然语序的让步状语从句中，
although, though, even thou
gh
的用法相同，均可置于句首
或从句首，常与动词连用，只是
though
比另两者要通俗些。如：
Though/Although/Even though
it
’
s hard work, I enjoy
it.
尽管这项工作艰难，我却喜欢它。
Although/Though/Even
though
we
all
tried
our
best,
we
lost
the
game.(=We
lost
the
game
although/though/even though we tried
our
best.)
虽然我们已经尽了最大的力量，但还是输了。
注意：上述的句型都不能用
as
代替
though,
although
或
even
though
。
2.
当让步状语从句的动词用一般现
在时表示将来的假说或一般的行为习惯时，通常用
even
though/even
if,
一般不用

though I have to walk all the way,
I
’
ll go there.

though+
情态动词

行为动词也可替代
even

动词的一般现在时来表
示习惯
性的行为。如：
Even if/Even though you
don
’
t like

（
=though you may not
like wine
