3. Features the counter-premise indicator “despite”; the additional premise
indicator “after all”; and the conclusion indicator “thus.” The additional
premise serves to downplay the counter-premise.
Premise: “During last night’s robbery, the thief was unable to open the
safe.”
Counter-premise: “despite the fact that the thief stole several
documents.”
Additional Premise: “After all, nothing in those documents was as
valuable as the money in the safe.”
Conclusion: “Thus, last night’s robbery was unsuccessful ”
Counter-premise Indicators
But
Yet
However
On the other hand
Admittedly
In contrast
Although
Even though
Still
Whereas
In spite of
Despite
After all
所以这里是不是矛盾了? 所以该怎么看这个afterall呢? 请指教。。 |
