even的用法是:
1.even表示“對人們做的某事極端的吃驚”,例如走得太遠,比期望的做的更多。一般放在助動詞或be動詞之后,實義動詞之前,如:
She has lost half her clothes,She has even lost two pairs of shoes.(NOT ...even she has lost) 她丟了一半的衣服,甚至把兩雙鞋也丟了。
even用來表示強調(diào),放在被強調(diào)的詞前面,如:
Anybody can do this,even a child can do it.任何人都會這樣做,甚至連小孩子。
2.表示“事情未如預(yù)期的發(fā)生或出現(xiàn)”,我們用even的否定形式“not even”,如:
He can't even write his own name.他甚至不會寫他自己的名字。
I haven't written to anybody for months-not even my parents.我已經(jīng)幾個月沒有給別人寫信了,甚至我的父母。
She didn't even offer me a cup of tea.她甚至沒給我倒一杯茶。
3.also不能用來表示“非常吃驚”,如:
Everybody got up early,Even George.(NOT Also George.)每個人都起得很早,甚至包括喬治。
4.Even不能作為連詞,但even能放在if和though引導(dǎo)的從句前面,如:
Even if I become a millionaire,I shall always be a socialist.(NOT Even I become...)即使我不能成為億萬富翁,我也將成為社會學(xué)家。
5.Even so=however,意為“然而,但是”
He seems nice,Even so,I don't really like him.他看起來很好,但是我真的不喜歡他。
