in the name of：以...的名义, 借....之名

例句： in the name of law, 以法律的名义

借科学之名进行残酷的动物试验。

Even though 用法

even though(=even if) 从属连词，意为：即使，即令……也……；引导让步状语从句。even if的从句中含有强烈的假定性，even though则多以从句之内容为前提。例如：
Even if I have to sell my house, I'll keep my business.即使我卖掉房子，我还是要继续我的事业。
Even if he is poor, she loves him.(=He may be poor, yet she loves him.)即使他很穷，她还是爱他。

比较although, though, as, even though, even if的用法

1). 在自然语序的让步状语从句中，although, though, even though的用法相同，均可置于句首或从句首，常与动词连用，只是thouth比另两者要通俗些。如：
Though/Although/Even though it’s hard work, I enjoy it.尽管这项工作艰难，我却喜欢它。

提示：上述的句型都不能用as代替though, although或even though。

2).当让步状语从句的动词用一般现在时表示将来的假说或一般的行为习惯时，通常用even though/even if,一般不用though, although和as，如：
Even if/Even thouth I have to walk all the way,I’ll go there. 即使我得一路走着去，我也要走到那里。

注意：有时though+情态动词+行为动词也可替代even though/even if+动词的一般现在时来表示习惯性的行为。如：
Even if/Even though you don’t like wine（=though you may not like wine）,try a glass of this. 尽管你不喜欢酒，也要喝一杯这样的酒。

3). 当让步状语从句的动词用虚拟式表示与事实相反的假说时，大多数用even though/even if, 而不用though, although和as,如：
You are not stupid. Even though/Even if you were slow at study, you shouldn’t give up your studies. 你并不傻，即使你学得慢一点，也不应该放弃学习。

4). 在倒装语序的让步状语从句中，通常用though或as，不用although, even though。如：
Poor though/as I am, I can afford beer. 虽然我穷，我还可以买得起啤酒。

5). 在省略了主语、be动词或行为动词的让步状语从句中，常常用though/although,而不用as, even though, even if，如：
Her appointment was a significant（success）,although/though( it was a )temporary success. 她受聘虽然是临时性的，但却是一大成功。

6). though作副词时表示尽管如此，一般置于句末，可用however代替，此时不能用although/even though/as等代替。如：
We all tried our best. We lost the game, though/however. 我们都已尽了最大的力量，尽管如此，我们还是输了。
