副词even的几点用法
副词even的几点用法
1. 表示“甚至”,通常应放在被修饰词语之前,否则会引起含义的变化。比较:
Even now he doesn’t believe me. 甚至到现在他还不相信我。(其他时候就不用说了)
Now even he doesn’t believe me. 现在连他都不相信我了。(其他人就更不会相信我了)
Now he doesn’t even believe me. 现在他甚至不相信我了。(其他方面的事就更不可能了)
Now he doesn’t believe even me. 现在他甚至连我都不相信了。(其他人就更不会相信了)
2. 用来修饰形容词或副词的比较级,表示“比(已经……的)更加……”。如:
Your cooking is even worse than Harry’s. 你的烹饪技术甚至比哈里还差。
Sally drives fast, but Olive drives even faster. 萨莉开车开得很快,奥利夫开得更快。
You seem even more stupid than usual today. 你今天好像比平时更加笨了。
3. even 是副词,不是连词,所以不要误用它引导从句。如:
就算你看见是他拾起的钱,你也不能肯定钱就是他偷的。
误:Even you saw him pick up the money, you can’t be sure he stole it.
正:Even if you saw him pick up the money, you can’t be sure he stole it.
另外,它也不能用介词,将它误用作介词也是初学者常犯的错误。如:
我即便听了他的解释,仍然不明白。
误:Even listening to his explanation I’m none the wiser.
正:Even after listening to his explanation I’m none the wiser.(www.hxen.net)
