even though

漢語翻譯

詞意辨析：

though, although, as, even though

這些連詞均可表示“雖然，儘管”之意。
though: 和although在意義上幾乎毫無區別，但在習慣用法上這兩個詞仍有以下一些差異：1.though可引出倒裝語序的讓步狀語從句，although 則不能。2.though可與even連用，although則不能；在as though結構中，只用though，不能用although。3.though可以置於從句末，而although則不能。4.引出省略句時，通常用though。
although: 與though在意義上相似，但文體上是比較正式用詞，語氣比though強。
as: 引出讓步狀語從句只用於倒裝語序結構中，語氣強於上述兩個連詞。
even though: （＝even if），意為“即使”，引導讓步狀語從句。though也引導讓步狀語從句，意為“雖然”；even though有退一步構想的意味，與though不同。though引導的句子所說的是事實，even though引導的句子所說的則不一定是事實。例如：

• he will not tell the secret even though（even if）he knows it．
  即使他知道這個秘密，他也不肯說出來。
• he will not tell the secret though he knows it．
  他雖然知道這個秘密，但他不會說出來。
