我對於for all 用法不甚了然。請分析。
答:在for all 結構中, for 為介係詞, all 作後面的名詞片語的修飾語, for all 表示讓步, 可以譯為“儘管”、“雖然”, 相當於表示讓步的with all :
- With / For all his boasting and ostentatious training, he was knocked out in the first round.
儘管他受過誇張招搖的訓練, 但是他在第一回合就被擊倒了。 - For all this efforts, he didn’t succeed.
儘管他作了一切努力, 但是仍未成功。 - For all her money, Mrs Hooper isn’t happy.
胡珀夫人儘管很有錢, 但是不幸福。
