even as和while

Even as they never forgave the Crusaders who overran their homeland, the Syrians have never absolved the French for taking territory from them.
A Even as
B While
C Just like
D Similar to
E In spite of
答案是A,可是B不也能表示转折吗?难道语气不强烈?A是什么表达呢?=even if?

这句话不是转折。。。even在这里作为副词，as是连接词，表示“与。。。类似”，整句句子意思是：就和他们从未原谅那些蹂躏他们土地的十字军那样，叙利亚人从来也没宽恕夺取他们土地的法国人

cde都是直接跟名词的，可以马上排除，a确实是很湖人的选项

牛津高阶：
even as: 正当；恰好在……的时候。Even as he shouted the warning the car skidded.

even if/though: 即使；纵然；虽然。I'll get there, even if I have to walk.
