______had been done,the working efficiency of the employees still remained low.
A\Though
B\Despite the fact that
C\Despite
D\Despite what
B、D不是一樣嗎?我怎么總覺(jué)得少了點(diǎn)什么,答案給的是D,我選的A,還有,順便講講什么spite之類(lèi)的跟句子、跟詞什么的
答：D
譯：盡管已經(jīng)采取了一些措施,但是雇員的工作效率仍然低下.
析：BD不一樣.
Despite是一個(gè)介詞=in spite of ,后跟一個(gè)名詞（或名詞性的從句）作賓語(yǔ),意思為：盡管存在著.,相當(dāng)于：though there is/was ...
如：Despite (=In spite of ) the rain,the football game continued.盡管天下著雨,足球賽還是繼續(xù).
注意：漢譯中我不說(shuō)：盡管存在那場(chǎng)雨,而說(shuō)：盡管天下著雨=though it was raining,...
What had been done是一個(gè)名詞性的從句,相當(dāng)于the+名詞+定語(yǔ)從句=the things that had been done,就是 那些已經(jīng)做過(guò)了的事.Despite what-從句就相當(dāng)于Despite +一個(gè)名詞詞組.
這個(gè)名詞性從句也可以是由that引導(dǎo)的一句話,如：
Despite that he is 18 years old,he is still naive.
=Despite the fact that he is 18 years old,.
這時(shí)候,despite的賓語(yǔ)是 the fact,that從句是fact的同位語(yǔ).
可以看出,我們可以用though/although來(lái)代替despite that/ despite the fact that
though是一個(gè)從屬連詞,引導(dǎo)一個(gè)讓步狀語(yǔ)從句.如選A,請(qǐng)問(wèn)從句的主語(yǔ)呢?是不是需要補(bǔ)上“much (=a lot (of things))”?排除A
Despite the fact that,that引導(dǎo)的是同位語(yǔ)從句,that在從句中不擔(dān)任句子成分,但不能省,如選B,則這個(gè)同位語(yǔ)從句又缺乏主語(yǔ),排除B.
C根本不用考慮.
順便再說(shuō)一下,in spite of = despite 是個(gè)介詞.
