1 Distinguished architecture requires the expenditure of large sums of money, even if it is by no means certain that the expenditure of large sums of money produce distinguished architecture.

(B)even if it is by no means certain that the expenditure of large sums of money will produce

(D)even though it is by no means certain that the expenditure of large sums of money produce

答案是D,但是even though 和 even if 有区别吗?

even if是表递进关系，表达的是不太可能发生的事。

even though是表转折关系，表示那些已经是事实的事。

上题中作者认为it is by no means certain that the expenditure of large sums of money produdce distinguished architecture是一个事实，所以用even though.

欢迎其他同学拍砖。

even though 和 even if 每个新东方老师都说没什么区别，那它又怎么会是这道题的KEY呢~

要么用现在完成，要么用一般现在，will produce 实在说不过去~

楼上的递进和转折关系是哪里听来的？

不过作为处子秀，咱们还是要鼓励~

我也不记得是哪里听来的了，好像是一道大全题的解释。Even though

表事实，Even if表假设。

找到了，可是没有什么官方出处啊。

even if and even though区别：

even if：used to emphasize that something will still be true if another thing happens
She's going to have problems finding a job even if she gets her

A levels.
even though：used to emphasize that something is true although something else has happened or is true
Even though he's 24 now, he's still like a little child.
