-I failed in the physics exam again all the efforts I made.
Which of the following answers is NOT true?
A. in spite of
B. despite
C. but for
D. regardless of
答案:
A. in spite of
B. despite
(答案→)C. but for
D. regardless of
解析:短语辨析. but for意思是要不是;如果没有;除了……;despite意为“不管”“任凭”,相当于in spite of,后接名词、代词或动词,但语气比后者轻,不如后者常用。regardless of一般用于客观上无法避免的事实,往往是不利的条件,因素,需要主语去正确面对和处理。根据句意:你看起来很烦.有什么不对吗?——不算我所有努力,我在物理考试中又不及格。选C,意思是不但努力白费了,还不及格,故很烦。
