「in spite of」&「despite」到底用哪个？
本文投稿作者 七姑娘
作为介词的”in spite of”和”desp原由网ite”意义大体相同，通常无论使用其中哪一个都不会改变文章宗旨。
但两者间也有一些微妙的差异，使用时应注意区分。
“in spite of”和“despite”两者的主要意思大体等同于日语中的“虽然……但是……”。
与”despite”代表了“与……无关”这一略显消极的语意相对，”in spite of”的语气更为强烈，包含了“与……相反”这般更积极的语意。其间差异请参考下面的例句。
(1) Despite the risk, I would like to proceed with the plan.
(2) In spite of his parents’ warning, the child continued to play with the toy.
另外，关于”despite”的用法还需要注意的是，偶尔会出现将”despite”与”in spite of”混淆写成”despite of”的情况，这是一原由网个语法错误。
*“despite”还可作为名词使用，但并不常见。
