Despiteapplyingforhundredsofjobs,heisstilloutofwork.despiteprep.即使，尽管inspiteof

语气强于despite，可与despite换用，口语或书面语中均可使用。despite多用于诗歌或正式的文体中，属于书面用词，指不受某事或某种原因的阻碍，语气轻于inspiteof。e.g.Whenlifegetshardandyouwanttogiveup,rememberthatlifeisfullofupsanddowns,andwithoutthedowns,theupswouldmeannothing.该句why引导的定语从句修饰先行词reasons。只有在先行词是reason并表示原因的时候，而定语从句在复合句中作原因状语的时候，才会使用why来引导定语从句。当先行词是reason并表示原因的时候，但是定语从句不作状语的时候，要使用which或者that来引导定语从句。upsanddowns
