even的用法是什么呢?
1.even表示“对人们做的某事极端的吃惊”,例如走得太远,比期望的做的更多。一般放在助动词或be动词之后,实义动词之前,如:
She has lost half her clothes,She has even lost two pairs of shoes.(NOT ...even she has lost) 她丢了一半的衣服,甚至把两双鞋也丢了。
even用来表示强调,放在被强调的词前面,如:
Anybody can do this,even a child can do it.任何人都会这样做,甚至连小孩子。
2.表示“事情未如预期的发生或出现”,我们用even的否定形式“not even”,如:
He cant even write his own name.他甚至不会写他自己的名字。
I havent written to anybody for months-not even my parents.我已经几个月没有给别人写信了,甚至我的父母。
She didnt even offer me a cup of tea.她甚至没给我倒一杯茶。
3.also不能用来表示“非常吃惊”,如:
Everybody got up early,Even George.(NOT Also George.)每个人都起得很早,甚至包括乔治。
4.Even不能作为连词,但even能放在if和though引导的从句前面,如:
Even if I become a millionaire,I shall always be a socialist.(NOT Even I become...)即使我不能成为亿万富翁,我也将成为社会学家。
5.Even so=however,意为“然而,但是”
He seems nice,Even so,I dont really like him.他看起来很好,但是我真的不喜欢他。
