人教版新目标九年级英语上册Unit 11重点知识归纳及解析(4)
Section B（1a ~ 1e）
句式包：
What made the poor man so happy even though he had no power, money or fame?
是什么使这位穷人即使在没有权力，金钱以及名誉的境况下还能如些的幸福？
even though 和 even if 均可用于引导让步状语从句，其细微区别是：
1. even if 引导的从句是往往是假设性的，相当于汉语的“即使”“纵然”“就算”“哪怕”。如：They’ll stand by you even if you don’t succeed. 即使你不成功，他们也会支持你。
正因为even if从句的内容通常是假设性的，所以有时还可用于虚拟语气；这样用的even if 与单独使用的if比较接近。如：Even if he had the money, he wouldn’t buy it. 他即使有钱也不会买它。
2. even though 引导的从句内容往往是真实的，主要用于引出不利用于主句情况的信息，相当于汉语的“尽管”“虽然”。如： Even though it’s hard work, I enjoy it. 虽然工作艰苦，我还是很喜欢。
He’s the best teacher even though he has the least experience. 他尽管经验最少，但教得最好。
这样用的even though与though或although的意思比较接近，许多时候可以互换（注意：英语可以说though和even though，但不能说even although）。如：Even though [Thought, Although] I felt sorry for him, l was secretly pleased tha t he was having difficulties. 虽然我为他感到惋惜，但对他的困难却暗自高兴。
3. 不过，在实际语言运用中，even if与even though有时也可不加区别地混用。如：Even if [Even though] she laughs at him, he likes her. 尽管她嘲笑他，他还是很喜欢她。
【备课例句】
Even though it’s hard work, I enjoy it. 虽然工作艰苦，我还是很喜欢。
【课堂变式】
—You bought the car about ten years ago? —Yes. ________ it's old, it still runs well.
A. Because B. Since C. Although D. But
【解析】考查连词辨析。because意为“因为”；since意为“既然；自从”；although意为“尽管”；but意为“但是”。根据句意 “尽管它很旧，但是它仍然跑得很好。”为转折意思，故选C。
