- We shall go in spite of the rain. 尽管下雨,我们仍将去。
- In spite of (或 Disregarding) the difficulties, we must carry (或 bring) the work to completion. 虽然有困难,但我们必须完成这项工作。
注:联系 for all… 也含有“尽管”、“不顾”之意。例如:For all this (或 all that),she helped me. 虽然(或尽管)如此,她还是帮了我。
In spite of the fact that at first you did not succeed, you must try again. 尽管你第一次未成功,但你必须再试。(原意为:不必顾虑第一次未成功的事实……。)
注:in spite of, not with standing 和 despite (of) 都作介词用,可互相替换。in spite of 语气较强,not with standing 语气较弱,而 despite(后面 of 现极少使用)较雅。较常见的是用 regardless of 和 disregarding 来替换。例如:
1)We'll go to the software development company despite (或 not with standing) the rain. 尽管下雨了,我们仍将去软件开发公司。 2)Some people act regardless (或 despite, in spite of) what will happen afterward. 有些人做事不考虑会有什么后果产生。
