Even

Рассмотрим пример:

Bill is our best player but yesterday even Bill played badly.

Мы используем even, чтобы сказать, что что-то необычно или удивительно. Мы говорим even Bill, потому что он хороший игрок и не в его стиле играть плохо. Если уж он играет плохо, то это, должно быть, плохой день для всей команды.
