【despite】despite和inspiteof的用法_英语_sedbirqmma

编辑： admin 2017-15-06

despite与in spite of

Despite用作介词时,与 in spite of同义,都表示“尽管”、“虽然”、“不顾”之意,但程度有所不同.

一般说来,in spite of的语气较强,使用范围也较广； despite的语气较弱,多用于诗歌或正式的文体中.Despite可以写作despite of,也可以写作 in despite of；in spite of则可以写作 spite of,但这些写法已少用了.例：

Despite his advanced years,he is learning to drive．

虽然年事已高,他现在在学驾驶汽车.

Despite the drought,we expect a good crop．

尽管天旱,丰收依然在望.

In spite of the police brandishing their clubs and pistols,people showed not the slightest fear．

尽管警方挥动着短棍及手枪,但人们毫不畏惧.

We arrived at the station in spite of the storm．

虽然有暴风雨,我们依旧准点到达火车站.

应当在此指出的是,在现代英语里,despite和in spite of的差距已日渐缩小,很多人已将它们互换使用.

Despite除作介词外,尚可用作名词,表示“蔑视”、“憎恨”、“无意对待”之意

其他同学给出的参考思路：

despite

[dis?pait]

prep.

不管, 尽管

Despite the fact that she is short, she is an excellent basketball player.

尽管她个子矮, 却是个出色的篮球运动员。

题1： despite与inspiteof的用法有什么区别,应如何使用?如题,请举例[英语科目]

一个加句子一个加名词

FOR EXAMPLE

Despite the weather is bad,I still go to school

In spite of the bad weather ,I still go to school

题2： though/although和despite/inspiteof的意义用法区别问的是though和despite比较

though和despite 其实意思一样

前者比较大众化,口语化,后者更书面化

怎么说呢,though就好像“88~”

despite之类的更像“good bye”

题3： despite和inspiteof以及regardlessof的区别,还有用法?[英语科目]

despite意为“不管”“任凭”,相当于in spite of,后接名词、代词或动词,但语气比后者轻,不如后者常用.如:① He went out despite bad weather.他不管天气恶劣出发了.② Despite the fogs we went out for a walk.尽管有雾,我们还是外出散步.

【注】despite后可接what引导的从句如:① Despite what she says,I'll go.不管她怎么说,我也要去.② I would support him despite what he did.不管他做什么,我都支持他.

despite = in spite of,故不能再与of连用; in spite of / despite + 名词 = although + 从句

in spite of= despite; regardless of = without considering or taking notice of

regardless of 不管;不顾;不理会.后常接名词或者接从句

in spite of与regardless of区别

前者：一般是主观上故意去忽视,有时往往是好的条件,因素,或他人的建议,很可能导致不好的结果

后者：一般用于客观上无法避免的事实,往往是不利的条件,因素,需要主语去正确面对和处理,并不是避而远之

题4： Inspiteof和Despite的用法是否相同?与Although是否一样?还有哪些可以替换的词?[英语科目]

in spite of和despite用法一样,后面只能跟名词或者名词性从句.although意思和它们一样,但although后面要跟完整的句子.

题5： inspiteof跟despiteof的分别?两者后面都是跟名词吗?[英语科目]

in spite of + n

Not stopped by; regardless of:

不因…而停止；不顾…：

他们不顾害怕继续前进

despite + n
