「even though」與「even if」的差異

even 本身不可當連接詞用,但可搭配 if/though 引導副詞子句,置於句首或句中,用法及比較如下:
even though vs. even if
★ even though/even if 都可放句首,但皆不可和 but 並用。
★ 兩者皆有強調前後相反的對比意味,但語氣上有些許不同:
even though 雖然...;儘管...(與although意義相近)
用於強調主要子句,語氣較為強烈,通常是描述已經發生的事實或存在的狀況。表示「雖然事實是…,但…」。
S1 + V1…, even though + S2 + V2…
= Even though S2 + V2…, S1 + V1…
The sky is still sunny, even though it's 7 p.m.
= Even though it's 7 p.m., the sky is still sunny
雖然已經晚上 7 點了,天空還是很亮。
even if 就算...;即使...
常引導具假設語氣的句子,可能為真,也可能不為真,表示「就算該情況發生,還是…」。
S1 + V1…, even if + S2 + V2…
= Even if S2 + V2…, S1 + V1…
I'll still go by myself, even if no one wants to see a movie.
= Even if no one wants to see a movie, I'll still go by myself.
就算沒有人想去看電影,我還是要自己去。
