even though：尽管；即使（引导让步状语从句，表示“虽然事实如此，但后面的情况仍成立”。口语和书面语都常用；语气通常比 though 更强调“让步”。）
/ivn o/
Even though it was raining, we went out.
尽管下雨了，我们还是出门了。
Even though she had prepared carefully, the presentation didn’t go as smoothly as she’d hoped because of technical problems.
尽管她做了充分准备，但因为技术问题，演讲并没有像她希望的那样顺利。
even 源自古英语 efne（意为“正好、恰好、甚至”），though 源自古英语 ēah（意为“虽然、尽管”）。两者组合后形成强调性的让步连接词 even though，用于突出“在相反或不利条件下，结果依然成立”。
