本集題目
_____ that the movie didn’t interest Eve, she nodded when her best friend asked if she would like to go to the theater to see it.
(A) In spite of (B) Although (C) Despite the fact (D) Though the fact
介紹 despite、in spite of 表「儘管、雖然」的用法
※ despite [dɪˋspaɪt] 表「儘管∕雖然……」之意，其為介詞，後接名詞或動名詞作受詞，形成介詞片語，作副詞用，修飾主要子句。此介詞片語可置於主要子句之前或之後，置於之前時需用逗點與主要子句隔開。
• Despite the rain, the baseball game was not suspended.
雖然下雨了，但那場棒球賽並沒有中止。
• Isaac still feels hungry despite having had a large breakfast.
艾薩克還是會覺得餓，儘管他早餐吃了很多。
※ in spite of 是片語介詞，亦表「儘管∕雖然……」，可與 despite 互換使用。
• In spite of her leg injury, the runner didn’t drop out of the marathon.
儘管腿受傷，那名跑者並沒有中途退出馬拉松比賽。
※ despite 及 in spite of 之後不可直接接 that 子句作受詞，而須先在其後加 the fact 作其受詞，再接 that 子句，此 that 子句為其前 the fact 的同位語。
Despite / In spite of the fact + that 子句, S + V
= S + V + despite / in spite of the fact + that 子句
Despite / In spite of the fact + that 子句, S + V
= S + V + despite / in spite of the fact + that 子句
• Despite the fact that Ned told his daughter to come home early, she didn’t arrive home until midnight.
儘管奈德叫他女兒早點回家，但她還是直到午夜才到家。
※ though / although 亦表「雖然」之意，其為副詞連接詞，因此後面要接子句，即等於 “despite / in spite of the fact + that 子句”。
• Although Sammy felt tired after work, she still went to the gym to work out.
雖然珊米下班後很累，但她還是去了健身房運動。
