212. Even so, dog cloning is a commercial opportunity, with a nice research payoff.

译文 尽管如此,狗克隆项目是一次商业机会,这方面研究已取得了不错的结果。

点睛 本句的主干是...dog cloning is a commercial opportunity...。even so为让步状语;with引导伴随状语。

commercial意为“商业的”。如:

Commercial television is an effective medium for advertising. 商业电视是有效的广告宣传工具。

payoff意为“清算;收益;成果”。如:

If we must treat others with kindness and charity, it can only be because there is some payoff in it for us. 如果我们必须以友善和怜悯之心对待他人,那仅仅是因为这样做对我们有利。

考点归纳 even so和even though无论在读音上还是形式上都十分相近,但是二者的含义和用法完全不同:

even so是一个独立的结构,可以作插入语,意为“尽管如此”。如:

Even so, afraid the fellow might let me down, he worried for quite a time. 尽管如此,他还是一直不放心,怕同伴会让我失望。

even though是以even强调though的语气,只能作为表示转折的连词使用。如:

Even though some people objected, laws were passed. 尽管有人反对,但法规还是被通过了。
