while可以接短暂动词

He squared his shoulders, saluted, and held the book out toward the woman, although even while he spoke he felt the bitterness of his disappointment.

spoke在这里不是短暂动词吗,为什么用while不用when

②前面的even是修饰后面的整个从句吗?

spoke并不是短暂动词,而是延续性动词,只不过延续的时间不是很长而已。while=during the time that此外,这里用when也是可以的。但你没有理由质疑while的使用。even 强调while
