一、詳細(xì)釋義:


adv.

盡管,仍然,還是


例句:

He went notwithstanding he was ordered not to.

他雖被命令不許去,但他仍舊去了。


例句:

His relations with colleagues, differences of opinion notwithstanding, were unfailingly friendly.

盡管有意見(jiàn)分歧,他和同事們一直關(guān)系融洽。


conj.

盡管,雖然


例句:

他雖貧窮,卻誠(chéng)實(shí)。


例句:

She is not clever, notwithstanding she is beautiful.

盡管她漂亮,但是并不聰明。


prep.

盡管,雖然


例句:

Notwithstanding his objections, the marriage took place.

盡管他有異議,婚禮還是進(jìn)行了。


例句:

He despised William Pitt, notwithstanding the similar views they both held.

盡管他和威廉·皮特看法相似,卻瞧不起他。


二、詞義辨析:


despite,in spite of,notwithstanding

這些前置詞或前置短語(yǔ)都含有“雖然,盡管”之意。 despite書(shū)面用詞,指不受某事或某種原因的阻礙,語(yǔ)氣輕于in spite of。 in spite of在這些詞中語(yǔ)氣最強(qiáng),可與despite換用,口語(yǔ)或書(shū)面語(yǔ)中均可使用。 notwithstanding語(yǔ)氣最弱,僅表示一種障礙的存在。


三、參考例句:

盡管他有異議,婚禮還是進(jìn)行了。
