你是不是也这样?

翻开高考真题卷,看到句子填空或改错题里冒出 in spite of 和 despite,手一抖就选错了——明明意思差不多,为啥老师说“这里必须用 despite”?

别急,今天咱们不讲语法书里的拗口定义,就用做饭打比方:in spite of 和 despite 就像盐和酱油,都能提味,但放错时机,整道菜就翻车了。

先搞清楚:它们到底是不是“双胞胎”?

很多人以为“in spite of = despite”,完全等价——错!

? 相同点:

  • 都表示“尽管……还是……”,引导让步状语
  • 后面都只能接名词、代词或动名词(不能接从句!)

? 关键差异:

  • despite 更简洁、更正式,高考书面表达中出现频率更高
  • in spite of 更口语化一点,字数多、节奏慢,在长句中容易显得累赘

> ?小案例对比:

> ? 错误示范:Despite he was tired, he finished the essay.(× 不能接从句!)

> ? 正确写法1:Despite his tiredness, he finished the essay.

> ? 正确写法2:In spite of being tired,

he finished the essay.

> ? 正确写法3:Although he was tired, he finished the essay.(注意:although 才能接从句)

高考真题里,它们常怎么“埋雷”?

翻了近5年全国卷+新高考卷的完形、语法填空和写作,发现三个高频陷阱??

# 1?? “后面跟了that从句?立刻排除 both!”

比如这道2023年浙江卷改编题:

> He succeeded, ______ his teacher had warned him not to rush.

A. despite?B. in spite of?C. although?D. because

很多同学一看“succeeded”和“warned”有转折感,秒选 A 或 B——掉坑了!

因为 despite/in spite of 后面根本不能接 that…,只有 although 可以。答案是 C。

# 2?? “名词前有没有 the/a?影响选谁!”

看这个句子:

> She passed the exam, ______ all the difficulties.

? Despite all the difficulties → 自然、简洁、阅卷老师爱看

?? In spite of all the difficulties → 不错,但略啰嗦,写作里建议优先 despite

再试一个:

> He smiled, ______ his pain.

? Despite his pain(??最常用)

? In spite of his pain(??没错,但少用)

? Despite of his pain(× 绝对错误!despite 没有 of!)

# 3?? “写作加分项:despite + 名词 vs. despite + 动名词”

高考书面表达中,想体现语言功底?试试这个组合??

  • 基础版:Despite the rain, we went hiking.
  • 进阶版:Despite having trained for only two weeks, she won the relay race.

?? 动名词结构(having done)一出,立刻拉高语言层次——阅卷老师扫一眼就知道:“这学生语法意识强。”

我自己的笨办法:三秒判断法

教过几百个高三学生,我总结了个土法子,现在还让学生默背:

> ? 看到“despite”,心里默念:“de-没得从句,spite只吃名词/动名”;

> ? 看到“in spite of”,提醒自己:“in spite of = despite + 多3个字,除非强调语气,否则别硬上”。

去年带的一个学生,模考总在“让步状语”丢分,我就让她每天抄5遍:

> Despite the heavy traffic, he arrived on time.

> In spite of the heavy traffic, he arrived on time.

> Although the traffic was heavy, he arrived on time.

坚持两周,她说:“老师,我现在看到‘though’‘although’‘despite’自动脑内分类了。”

最后一句真心话

其实高考考的从来不是“你会不会背短语”,而是你能不能在真实语境里稳准狠地用对它

despite 和 in spite of 看似小事,但每一分都可能卡在“差一点”的临界线上。

别怕慢,先把“后面不能接从句”刻进肌肉记忆;

写作文时,先写 despite,写完再读一遍——如果顺口、不啰嗦,那就留着;

如果读着喘不过气,换成 although 或 though,反而更自然。

语言不是拼图,没有唯一标准答案;

  • *准确,加上一点点呼吸感,就是最好的高考英语。**
