مرور کلی
despite و in spite of هستند. نکتهی کلیدی که در همین ابتدا باید به خاطر بسپارید این است که این دو عبارت از نظر معنایی کاملاً مترادف هستند. یعنی هیچ تفاوتی در پیام یا معنای آنها وجود ندارد و میتوانید آنها را در هر بافتی به جای یکدیگر به کار ببرید.The team won the match despite having two injured players.The team won the match in spite of having two injured players.
despite یک کلمه واحد است، در حالی که in spite of یک عبارت سه کلمهای است. شناخت این تفاوت ساختاری و درک این نکته که هر دو در دسته «حروف اضافه» (Prepositions) قرار میگیرند، کلید اصلی تسلط بر آنهاست.despite و in spite of حرف اضافه هستند. در گرامر انگلیسی، وظیفه حرف اضافه نشان دادن رابطه بین یک اسم (یا ضمیر) با بخش دیگری از جمله است. این یعنی به لحاظ تعریف ساختاری، یک حرف اضافه باید حتماً توسط یک «اسم» یا «معادل اسم» دنبال شود.he went یا she is) قرار بگیرند.despite و in spite of بیایند، بررسی میکنیم:- 1اسم یا عبارت اسمی (Noun Phrase): این سادهترین حالت استفاده است. اسم نشاندهنده همان مانع یا تضاد است.
We enjoyed the festival despite the terrible weather.
He remained humble in spite of his immense success.
- 1اسم مصدر (Gerund - فعل با پسوند ing): اسم مصدر فعلی است که نقش اسم را در جمله ایفا میکند. این ساختار برای کوتاه و حرفهای کردن جملات بسیار عالی است.
Despite feeling exhausted, she continued to work.
He passed the driving test in spite of making several small errors.
- 1ضمیر (Pronoun): ضمایر سادهای مانند
this،thatیاallنیز میتوانند بعد از این حروف اضافه بیایند.
The project was a failure, and he had to accept responsibility in spite of it all.
*despite he was ill.the fact that استفاده میکنیم. کلمه fact یک اسم است و نیاز حرف اضافه را برطرف میکند و جملهی بعد از that فقط آن حقیقت را توضیح میدهد.- درست:
They went ahead with the merger despite the fact that the board advised against it. - نادرست:
They went ahead with the merger despite the board advised against it.
despite یا in spite of شروع میشود، هم میتواند در ابتدای جمله بیاید و هم در میان آن. اگر در ابتدای جمله بیاید، حتماً باید بعد از آن از کاما (ویرگول) استفاده کنید.Despite / In spite of + اسم/اسم مصدر, جمله اصلی. | In spite of the delay, we arrived before the movie started. |Despite / In spite of + اسم/اسم مصدر, جمله اصلی. | Despite being the underdog, the team played with incredible spirit. |despite / in spite of + اسم/اسم مصدر. | The company is profitable despite a challenging economic climate. |despite / in spite of + اسم/اسم مصدر. | I love this city in spite of its noisy traffic. |the fact that به عنوان مفعولِ حرف اضافه استفاده میکنیم تا اجازه داشته باشیم بعد از آن جمله کامل بیاوریم.Despite / In spite of + the fact that + فاعل + فعل, جمله اصلی. | Despite the fact that he had never coded before, he built a website. |Despite / In spite of + the fact that + فاعل + فعل, جمله اصلی. | In spite of the fact that the instructions were unclear, she assembled it. |despite / in spite of + the fact that + فاعل + فعل. | We decided to trust him despite the fact that he had lied to us. |despite یا in spite of و زمان استفاده از آنها به لحن (Register)، تأکید و سبک نگارش شما بستگی دارد. اگرچه این کلمات با but یا although هممعنی هستند، اما کاربردهای بلاغی خاصی دارند.- 1بیان تضاد در بافتهای رسمی: این اصلیترین کاربرد آنهاست. در نوشتههای دانشگاهی، گزارشهای کاری یا ایمیلهای رسمی، استفاده از این حروف اضافه نشاندهنده تسلط شما بر ساختارهای پیچیده جمله است. اینها بسیار رسمیتر از
butهستند و اجازه میدهند قبل از بیان نتیجه اصلی، به مانع موجود اعتراف کنید.
- غیررسمی:
I wanted to leave, but I stayed until the end. - رسمی:
Despite my desire to leave, I stayed until the end of the meeting.
- 1ایجاد تأکید روی یک مانع: وقتی عبارت حاوی
despiteرا به ابتدای جمله میآورید، توجه مخاطب را بلافاصله به سختی یا چالشی جلب میکنید که بر آن غلبه شده است. این کار تأثیر دراماتیکتری نسبت به آوردن آن در انتهای جمله دارد.
- لحن خنثی:
She gave a brilliant presentation in spite of her fear of public speaking. - لحن تأکیدی:
In spite of her intense fear of public speaking, she gave a brilliant presentation.
- 1تنوع بخشیدن به ساختار جملات: در متنهای طولانی، تکرار مداوم کلماتی مثل
butیاalthoughمتن را خستهکننده میکند. استفاده ازdespiteبه همراه اسم مصدر (gerund) باعث میشود جملات شما پویاتر و حرفهایتر به نظر برسند.
- تکراری:
The team lost. They had trained hard all season. - بهبود یافته:
The team lost despite training hard all season.

DespiteوIn Spite Of: دادههای زبانی نشان میدهد که در انگلیسی مدرن مکتوب،despiteحدود سه تا چهار برابر بیشتر ازin spite ofاستفاده میشود، به ویژه در متون رسمی و آکادمیک. کوتاه بودن آن باعث میشود جمله مستقیمتر و موجزتر باشد. با این حال،in spite ofهنوز کاملاً درست است و در انگلیسی گفتاری به دلیل آهنگین بودن عبارت سه کلمهای، بسیار رایج است. برای یک مقاله دانشگاهی یا گزارش رسمی، پیشنهاد من به شما استفاده ازdespiteاست.
of به کلمه despitein spite of را داریم، ناخودآگاه تمایل داریم بگوییم *despite of. این یک اشتباه بزرگ است. به خاطر داشته باشید که despite یک «تکرو» است و هرگز با of نمیآید.- غلط:
*Despite of the rain, we went outside. - درست:
Despite the rain, we went outside. - درست:
In spite of the rain, we went outside.
despite بلافاصله فاعل و فعل بیاورند.- غلط:
*In spite of she felt tired, she finished the race. - درست (با اسم مصدر):
In spite of feeling tired, she finished the race. - درست (با اسم):
In spite of her tiredness, she finished the race. - درست (با پل گرامری):
In spite of the fact that she felt tired, she finished the race.
although/though)although حرف ربط هستند، نه حرف اضافه. وظیفه آنها اتصال دو جمله کامل به هم است. بنابراین بعد از آنها حتماً باید فاعل و فعل بیاید. اشتباه گرفتن این دو ساختار باعث میشود جمله شما از نظر گرامری فرو بپاشد.inspitein spite of را به صورت *inspite (یک کلمه) مینویسند. توجه داشته باشید که این عبارت همیشه از سه کلمه مجزا تشکیل شده است.despite / in spite of را با although / even though در یک جدول مقایسه کنیم. این دو گروه معنای یکسانی دارند اما ساختار متفاوتی را میطلبند.despite, in spite of) | Conjunctions (although, even though) |despite the heavy traffic... | although the traffic was heavy... |*despite the traffic was heavy... | *although the heavy traffic... |despite انتخاب شماست. اما اگر میخواهید روی فعل و انجام دهنده کار تأکید کنید، although مناسبتر است.despite و in spite of از نظر معنایی وجود ندارد؟despite کمی مدرنتر و کوتاهتر است.the fact that استفاده کنیم؟despite یا in spite of یک جمله کامل با فاعل و فعل بیاورید. اگر بتوانید آن جمله را به یک اسم یا اسم مصدر تبدیل کنید، جمله شما زیباتر و کوتاهتر خواهد بود. مثلاً به جای despite the fact that it was raining بهتر است بگویید despite the rain.but که معمولاً بین دو جمله میآیند، عباراتِ despite میتوانند در انتهای جمله هم قرار بگیرند تا اطلاعات تکمیلی یا تضاد را در پایان بیان کنند. مثال: I managed to finish the project on time despite several unexpected technical issues.despite به همراه یک اسم مصدر (gerund) نشاندهنده سطح گرامری بالاتر (B2/C1) است و میتواند روی ممتحن تأثیر مثبتی بگذارد، زیرا نشان میدهد شما میتوانید ساختارهای پیچیده را به صورت فشرده بیان کنید.Structure of Concessive Prepositions

سوالات متداول (8)
Yes, `despite` is generally considered slightly more formal and is more common in academic and professional writing. However, both are perfectly acceptable in all situations.
Absolutely! Just remember to put a comma after the noun phrase. For example: `Despite the rain, we went out.`
It's simply a rule of the language. `Despite` is a single-word preposition, while `in spite of` is a three-word phrasal preposition. Mixing them is a common error.
Only if you add `the fact that`. You cannot say `Despite it was raining`. You must say `Despite the fact that it was raining`.
The difference is grammar. `Although` is followed by a subject and a verb (`Although it was raining`). `Despite` is followed by a noun (`Despite the rain`).
Yes. For example: `We went for a walk despite the rain.` This is very common.
No. In this context, it must always be `in spite of`. The word `spite` alone is a noun meaning a desire to hurt or annoy someone.
Yes, usually with a gerund. `Despite not having a map, we found the house.`
