Even if he had the money, he wouldn’t buy it. 他即使有錢也不會(huì)買它。

I would have married her even if she had been penniless. 即使她身無(wú)分文，我也會(huì)和她結(jié)婚。

2. even though 引導(dǎo)的從句內(nèi)容往往是真實(shí)的，主要用于引出不利用于主句情況的信息，相當(dāng)于漢語(yǔ)的“盡管”“雖然”。如：

He went out even though it was raining. 盡管在下雨，他還是出去了。

Even though it’s hard work, I enjoy it. 雖然工作艱苦，我還是很喜歡。

He’s the best teacher even though he has the least experience. 他盡管經(jīng)驗(yàn)最少，但教得最好。

Even though I didn’t know anybody at the party, I had a nice time. 盡管這次聚會(huì)上我誰(shuí)也不認(rèn)識(shí)，我也玩得挺痛快。

這樣用的even though與though或although的意思比較接近，許多時(shí)候可以互換（注意：英語(yǔ)可以說(shuō)though和even though，但不能說(shuō)even although）。如：

Even though [Thought, Although] I felt sorry for him, l was secretly pleased tha t he was having difficulties. 雖然我為他感到惋惜，但對(duì)他的困難卻暗自高興。

Even though [Thought, Although] we all tried our best, we lost the game. 雖然我們已盡了最大的力量，但還是輸了。

3. 不過(guò)，在實(shí)際語(yǔ)言運(yùn)用中，even if與even though有時(shí)也可不加區(qū)別地混用。如：

Even if [Even though] she laughs at him, he likes her. 盡管她嘲笑他，他還是很喜歡她。

We thoroughly understand each other, even if [even though] we don’t always agree. 我們彼此非常了解，雖然有時(shí)候也有一些分歧。
