【語法天地】終於能分清although和though了！！

《語法天地》是《趣味青春英語》的一個板塊，每天為大家介紹一個考試必用的語法在裡面，簡單易懂。

今天我們幫助你來分辨 Although和though、 Even though和even if

1. Although和though
Though較不正式，兩者都用來說明主句中發生的事情與狀語從句中發生的事情有一個意想不到的對比
Although/though he failed to score himself, he helped Jones to score two goals.
也可以適用具有相似意思的despite the fact that/in spite of the fact that或in spite of /despite +doing sth.
Despite the fact that he failed to score himself…
In spite of him failing to score himself…

注意，在從句末尾可以用though, 但不用although
I eat most dairy products. I am not keen on yogurt, though.

在形容詞+though+名詞/代詞+動詞句型中，可以把形容詞放在though之前以強調，as可以取代though,但不能用although
Hot though(或as) the night air was, they slept soundly.
Although/though the night air was hot, they slept soundly.

2. Even though和even if
Even though(不用even although) 可以用來表示despite the fact that(儘管…)的意思，even if表示whether or not （是否）的意思
Even though Tom doesn』t speak Italian, I think he should still visit Rome.
=Despite the fact that he doesn』t speak Italian…
(the speaker knows that Tom doesn』t speak Italian)

Even if Tom doesn』t speak Italian, I think he should still visit Rome.
=whether or not he speaks Italian
(the speaker doesn』tknow definitely whether tom speaks Italian or not)

Although,though之後可以用ing從句，過去分詞從句，和省略了主語和動詞的從句
Al(though) not huge, the garden needs constant attention. (=thought it is not huge…)
