E'en is a written shortening of even, used in old poems and songs, not in shops or chats today. Here even is the even that means “this far, surprisingly, still”: e'en a child could see it; e'en now the bells are ringing.

E'en是 even 的 a written shortening of書面縮寫， used in old poems and songs用在老詩和老歌裡， not in shops or chats today不用在今天的商店或聊天裡。 Here even這裡的 even is是 that means意思是 "this far, surprisingly, still"「到這個地步、居然、仍然」的 the even那個 even： e'en a child could see it「連小孩都看得出來」； e'en now the bells are ringing「甚至此刻鐘還在響」。

Poets dropped a sound so the line would fit the beat, the same old trick as e'er from ever. If you say it as everyday English, it will sound like acting in a play — which is exactly when it belongs. People read it like “een,” to rhyme with seen.

Poets詩人 dropped a sound丟掉一個音， so the line would fit the beat好讓那一行卡進節拍， as e'er from ever和 ever 縮成 e'er the same old trick是同一招老把戲。 If you say it如果你把它 as everyday English當日常英語說出口， it它 will sound like聽起來就會像 acting in a play在演舞台劇 — which is exactly when it belongs而那正是它該出場的時候。 People人們 read it把它唸成 like "een"「een」， to rhyme with seen跟 seen 押韻。

Though actually, some old poems also write e'en for evening (good e'en). That is a different even, the end-of-day one. This entry is the “even now / even a child” kind. The line around the word will tell you which job it is doing.

Though actually不過其實， some old poems有些老詩 also write e'en也會把 e'en for evening用來代替 evening (good e'en)（good e'en）。 That那 is a different even是另一個 even， the end-of-day one一天結束的那一個。 This entry這個詞條 is是 the "even now / even a child" kind「even now／even a child」那一種。 around the word字旁邊的 The line那一行 will tell you會告訴你 which job it is doing它在做哪一份工作。
