HSK 5

再⋯⋯也⋯⋯

再⋯⋯也⋯⋯ (No matter how... still...)

Explanation

The structure '再……也……' is used to emphasize that no matter how extreme or high the degree of something is, the result or action following '也' remains unchanged. For example: '再难' (no matter how difficult) does not prevent '坚持下去' (persevering). This usage is similar to '即使……也……' but carries a stronger nuance of emphasizing extremity.

Examples
