For all his professed disdain of such activities, Auden was an inveterate literary gossip.
A: For all his professed disdain of such activities
B: Having always professed disdain for such activities

答案是A，总觉得B对
还有这句话怎么翻译呢？

尽管他的对这些行为（literary gossip）的公然蔑视，Auden 是literary gossip方面的老油条。
B不对，因为无法表达这层转折的关系。
