这道题DE的split就是对but/even though区别的考察。
我个人认为but和even though (although / though) 想要强调的部分不同,but强调的内容是but后的句子,而though强调的是主句。
这道题我也做错了,期待大神解释。
如下是Manhattan论坛的解释:
Let's contrast "but" with "even though". Consider these sentences:
I studied for weeks BUT I still bombed the test.
I bombed the test EVEN THOUGH I studied for weeks.
Notice that in the first sentence we have more of a logical ordering of events. One thing happened and then another thing happened. The "but" indicates a surprising outcome for the second event given the occurrence of the first event.
In the second sentence, we are saying something recently happened even though something earlier had happened that should have prevented the first occurrence from happening.
Here, this sentence shows two things in sequence: 1) family was hidden and then 2) family was discovered. Because of this, "but" is more appropriate to use.
If you're still not sure, make up some sentences expressing the same information, one using "but" and the other using "even though".
