即使 (jíshǐ) ... 也 (yě) ... is a concessive structure: it concedes a hypothetical situation but states that the result stays the same no matter what.

让步复句“就是……,也……” Concessive Complex Sentence “就是……,也……”

释义 · Explanation:“就是……,也……”同样表示让步,强调即便在某种极端或突出的情况下,结果仍然不变,语气比“即使”更口语化。
就是 (jiùshì) ... 也 (yě) ... also expresses concession, stressing that the result stays the same even under extreme circumstances; it sounds more colloquial than 即使.

释义 · Explanation:“不是……,而是……”用于并列地否定前者、肯定后者,强调事物的真实情况与表面或他人的想法不同。
不是 (bùshì) ... 而是 (érshì) ... is a coordinate structure that negates the first part and affirms the second, emphasizing what the real situation actually is.

结构 · Structure:不是 + A,而是 + B

例句 · Examples:

  • 他不是我的哥哥,而是我的同学。
    He is not my older brother, but my classmate.

固定短语“就是说” Set Phrase “就是说”

释义 · Explanation:“就是说”用于引出对前文内容的解释或总结,相当于“意思是”,使表达更清楚、更容易理解。
