Hervoicewasshakingdespiteallhereffortstocontrolit.

Despiteapplyingforhundredsofjobs,heisstilloutofwork.despiteprep.即使，盡管inspiteof

語氣強于despite，可與despite換用，口語或書面語中均可使用。despite多用于詩歌或正式的文體中，屬于書面用詞，指不受某事或某種原因的阻礙，語氣輕于inspiteof。e.g.Whenlifegetshardandyouwanttogiveup,rememberthatlifeisfullofupsanddowns,andwithoutthedowns,theupswouldmeannothing.該句why引導的定語從句修飾先行詞reasons。只有在先行詞是reason并表示原因的時候，而定語從句在復合句中作原因狀語的時候，才會使用why來引導定語從句。當先行詞是reason并表示原因的時候，但是定語從句不作狀語的時候，要使用which或者that來引導定語從句。upsanddowns
