despite倒底是什么意思？

hy2007

几乎所有的词典上对despite 和in spite of的解释都是“不管”，不过套上句子一看，都只能作“尽管”解。要知道，在汉语中，“尽管”和“不管”可以差得相当远的两个概念，一个和“虽然”差不多；一个和“无论”差不多。在英文中，despite究竟可不可以做“不管”用？

despite和in spite of这两个词/短语本来就不是个连词，而是介词。所以，不能把它们理解为汉语里的关联词“尽管”或“不管”；而应理解为“罔顾”、“不理”、“不管”，相当于英语中的“regardless of”,或是“notwithstanding”的介词用法。

要了解清楚詞語的精確意思，最好的方法就是去查一查英英詞典。以下是我從 collins 字典截錄出來的一段解釋

You use in spite of when you are mentioning circumstances which surprisingly do not prevent something from happening or being true. You DO NOT USE in spite of to say that something will not affected by any circumstances. You DO NOT say, for example, 'Everyone can take part, in spite of their ability'. You SAY 'Everyone can take part regardless of their ability' or 'Everyone can take part whatever their ability'. You also do not use in spite of as a conjunction. You DO NOT say, for example,'In spite of we protested, they took him away.' You SAY 'Although we protested, they took him away.'

Despite means the same as in spite of. You do not use 'of' after despite.

其实最简单的就是 in spite of多接从句。
despite多短语接介词
意思大同小异。
