[Despite]跟[Even if]有何不同？

Question

_____ you don\'t buy anything, it\'s fun to take a look.
(A)Despite
(B)But
(C)In reality
(D)Even if
答案給(D)，
但是(A)呢？

Answer 1

Despite 是介係詞,後面只能接名詞當受詞!Even if 意思及文法上與 Even though / Although / Though 差不多,這些都是連接詞,所以後面可以接子句!題目裡 you don't buy anything 是子句的型態,所以應該要以連接詞Even if來連接才可以!不過若仍想要用despite的話,要改寫成下面的方式才行:Despite the fact that you don't buy anyting . . ..
