美丽的清晨迎来了新的一天，新的一课。大家好，欢迎收听并学习《Faith口语课堂-天天学》，我是Faith老师。生活本来就是简单而又美丽的，学会欣赏简单中的美丽，生活就是这么开心。

He laughed in spite of himself. 他不禁笑出声来。

2．Despite: prep.不管, 尽管，其用法：despite（the fact）that引导的从句，或despite + 名词/名词性词组/其它词性的词：

He failed despite all his efforts. 尽管他下了许多功夫，他还是失败了。

She achieved her goal despite setbacks. 尽管遇到了挫折但她最终实现了她的目标。

3．though/even though: 虽然; 尽管, 即使, 纵然, though后面放个句子，另一个句子前就不用“but”.
