Gramática de hoje

〜とはいえ

Although ~; even so ~

Formação
  • V普通形 + とはいえ
  • いA + とはいえ
  • なA + (だ) + とはいえ
  • N + (だ) + とはいえ
  • 文。+ とはいえ、…

A とはいえ B means 'A is true, but B is not what you would expect from A.' The speaker accepts A and then states something that does not match it, or something to be careful about. It can also start a sentence (とはいえ、) like a conjunction referring back to the previous sentence. It is close to といっても but a little more formal.

Exemplos

  • 春はるとはいえ、朝晩あさばんはまだ寒さむい。

    Although it's spring, it's still cold in the mornings and evenings.

  • 仕事しごとが忙いそがしかったとはいえ、一度いちども連絡れんらくしなかったのは悪わるかった。

    I was busy with work, but it was wrong of me not to contact you even once.

〜といえども

Even ~; even though ~ (formal)

Formação
  • N + といえども
  • 普通形 + といえども
  • いかなる/どんな + N + といえども

A といえども B is a formal way of saying 'even A, B.' A is often someone of high status or something special (an expert, a company president), or a minimal amount like 一日 (one day) or 一円 (one yen), stressing that even A is no exception. B is usually a negative, an obligation, or the speaker's judgment, such as わけではない, てはいけない or なければならない.

Exemplos

  • 専門家せんもんかといえども、すべての問題もんだいに答こたえられるわけではない。

    Even experts can't answer every question.

  • 子こどもといえども、公共こうきょうの場ばではルールを守まもらなければならない。

    Even children must follow the rules in public places.

予報士の洗濯物 The forecaster's laundry

「明日あしたの降水確率こうすいかくりつは30パーセントです」。こうした天気てんき予報よほうの精度せいどは、この数十年すうじゅうねんで飛躍的ひやくてきに向上こうじょうした。"Tomorrow's chance of rain is 30 percent." The accuracy of forecasts like this has improved dramatically over the last few decades.

観測かんそく技術ぎじゅつやコンピューターの進歩しんぽによって、雲くもや風かぜの動うごきが細こまかく解明かいめいされてきたからだ。This is because advances in observation technology and computers have revealed the movements of clouds and wind in detail.

しかし、精度せいどが上あがったとはいえ、天気てんき予報よほうは万能ばんのうではない。However, even though their accuracy has improved, weather forecasts are not all-powerful.

特とくに、狭せまい地域ちいきに短時間たんじかんだけ降ふる雨あめを当あてるのは、依然いぜんとして難むずかしい。In particular, predicting rain that falls on a small area for a short time is still difficult.

空気くうきの中なかでは小ちいさな変化へんかが次々つぎつぎに大おおきな変化へんかを生うむため、わずかな誤差ごさでも結果けっかが大おおきく変かわってしまうのだ。In the air, small changes lead one after another to big changes, so even a tiny error can greatly change the result.

空そらには、まだ未知みちの部分ぶぶんが多おおく残のこされている。Much about the sky still remains unknown.

ベテランの気象予報士きしょうよほうしといえども、「何時なんじにどの町まちで降ふるか」までは言いい切きれない。Even a veteran weather forecaster cannot say for certain "what time and in which town" it will rain.

だから専門家せんもんかは、予報よほうを過信かしんせず、空そらの様子ようすも自分じぶんの目めで確たしかめてほしいと話はなす。So experts say they want people not to trust forecasts too much and to check the sky with their own eyes too.

ちなみに、ある予報士よほうしは取材しゅざいの最後さいごにこう言いって笑わらった。By the way, one forecaster laughed and said this at the end of the interview:

「実じつは昨日きのう、急きゅうな雨あめで自分じぶんの洗濯物せんたくものをぬらしてしまいましてね。」"Actually, yesterday a sudden shower got my own laundry wet."

Teste sua compreensão

R1本文ほんぶんによると、狭せまい地域ちいきの雨あめを当あてるのが難むずかしいのはなぜか。

Resposta e explicação

Resposta: 2 わずかな誤差ごさで結果けっかが大おおきく変かわるから

Line 5 says even a tiny error can greatly change the result. The text says observation technology and computers have advanced, so 1 and 4 are wrong.

R2最後さいごの予報士よほうしの話はなしから分わかることは何なにか。

Resposta e explicação

Resposta: 3 専門家せんもんかでも急きゅうな雨あめを完全かんぜんには当あてられない

The forecaster's own laundry got wet in a sudden shower. It is a personal example of line 7: even a veteran forecaster cannot be sure when and where it will rain.

Quiz

1この地図ちずアプリは(  )が高たかく、現在地げんざいちが数すうメートルしかずれない。

Resposta e explicação

Resposta: 1 精度せいど

精度が高い means highly accurate. The sentence: "This map app is very accurate; your location is off by only a few meters."

2どんなに便利べんりな道具どうぐでも(  )ではないので、使つかい方かたを考かんがえる必要ひつようがある。

Resposta e explicação

Resposta: 3 万能ばんのう

万能ではない means it can't do everything. "However convenient a tool is, it isn't all-purpose, so you need to think about how to use it." 依然 and 飛躍的 don't fit this pattern.

3機械きかいを(  )して、自分じぶんで確認かくにんするのを忘わすれてはいけない。

Resposta e explicação

Resposta: 2 過信かしん

過信する means to trust too much. "Don't trust machines too much and forget to check things yourself."

4暦こよみの上うえでは春はるになった(  )、朝晩あさばんはまだかなり寒さむい。

Resposta e explicação

Resposta: 4 とはいえ

とはいえ means "although ~ is true, still." "Although it's spring on the calendar, mornings and evenings are still quite cold." The other options show reason or addition.

5プロの選手せんしゅ(  )、毎回まいかい勝かてるわけではない。

Resposta e explicação

Resposta: 1 といえども

N といえども means "even N." "Even professional players can't win every time." だけあって means "as expected of," which is the opposite.

6A「明日あしたのテスト、簡単かんたんなんでしょう?」
B「簡単かんたん(  )、準備じゅんびしないと点てんは取とれないよ。」

Resposta e explicação

Resposta: 2 とはいえ

簡単とはいえ means "even though it's easy." "It may be easy, but you won't score without preparing." だからこそ and なだけに make "easy" a reason, which doesn't fit.

7予報よほうの精度が上あがった。

Resposta e explicação

Resposta: 3 せいど

精度 is read せいど (accuracy). "The accuracy of forecasts went up."

8計算けいさんの結果けっかには、少すこしのごさがある。

Resposta e explicação

Resposta: 4 誤差

ごさ is written 誤差 (margin of error). 誤 means mistake and 差 means difference.
