Eztalk美语【118】Even If和Even though的区别
时间：2018-12-25 作者：英语课 分类：Eztalk美语会话
哪里有问题？
阿美最近遇到困难，一直无法克服，她想跟同事说︰「虽然我已经试过很多不同的方法，但我还是没办法解决这问题。」
Even if I have tried many different ways, I still can't fix 2 the problem 3.
你知道这句子错在哪里吗？
答案在这里
even if（即使）是假设语气，不能用来描述已经发生的事实。以本句中文的含意，连接词应使用even though 4（虽然）才对。
秘诀大公开
even if（即使）用于「未知情况」或「与事实相反的假设」，even though（虽然）则是接「实际上已经发生」的事。
这句可以这样改
改用even though，表示已经试过很多方法
Even though I have tried many different ways, I still can't fix the problem.
even though的用法
even though用于「已经存在」的事实，例如这人已经迟到了︰
Even though she was 5 a little late, we still waited for her.
even if的用法
even if用于「未知」或「假设」的情况，表示无论情况如何，结果都是相同的，下列为两种常见的用法︰
1. 未知情况，例如不确定这个人是否会迟到︰
Even if she is a little late, we can still wait for her.
2. 假设情况，例如这个人其实并未迟到︰
Even if she had 6 been a little late, we still would 7 have waited for her.
