今日文法

〜ながらも

Though ~; despite ~

接續

Vます形 + ながらも
いA + ながらも
なA + ながらも
N + ながらも

A ながらも B means 'although A, B,' where B does not match what A suggests. ながら alone can mean 'although,' but adding も makes the contrast clear. The subject of both halves is usually the same, and A is usually a state (small, inconvenient, a child, knowing). It is often used to admit a weak point and then state a good point.

例句

狭せまいながらも、自分じぶんの家いえを持もてたことがうれしい。

Though it's small, I'm happy that I could get a house of my own.
彼かれは文句もんくを言いいながらも、最後さいごまで手伝てつだってくれた。

Although he complained, he helped me until the end.

〜と思いきや

I thought ~, but surprisingly ~

接續

普通形 + と思いきや
V普通形 + かと思いきや
いA + かと思いきや
なA + かと思いきや
N + かと思いきや

A と思いきや B means 'I thought A, but actually, to my surprise, B.' B is the opposite of what was expected, so it usually states an actual result, often in the past tense. The form かと思いきや is also common. It is somewhat literary and used in writing or to convey mild surprise.

例句

試験しけんは難むずかしいと思おもいきや、意外いがいに簡単かんたんだった。

I thought the exam would be hard, but surprisingly it was easy.
雨あめがやんだと思おもいきや、すぐにまた降ふり出だした。

Just when I thought the rain had stopped, it started again.

雪の中のつぼみ Buds in the snow

三月さんがつに入はいって、寒さむさがようやく和やわらいできた。Now that it's March, the cold has finally begun to ease.

コートなしで出でかけられる日ひも増ふえ、春はるを待まちわびていた私わたしは心こころが弾はずんだ。There were more days I could go out without a coat, and I, who had been longing for spring, felt my heart lift.

ところが、このまま暖あたたかくなると思おもいきや、今朝けさは一転いってんして厳きびしく冷ひえ込こんだ。However, just when I thought it would keep getting warmer, this morning it suddenly turned bitterly cold.

窓まどを開あけると、庭にわがうっすらと白しろくなっている。When I opened the window, the garden was lightly covered in white.

あの暖あたたかさは束つかの間まのことだったのかと、私わたしはがっかりした。So that warmth had lasted only a brief moment, I thought, disappointed.

しまったばかりの厚あついコートをまた出だして、覚悟かくごを決きめて外そとに出でた。I took out the thick coat I had only just put away and went outside, ready for the cold.

しかし、風かぜがなかったからか思おもったほど寒さむくはなく、少すこし拍子抜ひょうしぬけした。But perhaps because there was no wind, it wasn't as cold as I had expected, and it felt a little anticlimactic.

駅えきへ向むかう途中とちゅうの公園こうえんで、ふと桜さくらの枝えだが目めに留とまった。At a park on my way to the station, a cherry branch suddenly caught my eye.

雪ゆきをかぶりながらも、小ちいさなつぼみがしっかりとふくらんでいたのだ。Though covered in snow, its small buds had firmly swollen.

寒さむい朝あさでも、木きはちゃんと春はるの兆きざしを見みせてくれている。Even on a cold morning, the tree was properly showing me signs of spring.

その日ひは昼ひるになっても肌寒はださむかったが、私わたしの足取あしどりはなぜか軽かるかった。It stayed chilly even at noon that day, but for some reason my steps felt light.

內容理解確認

R1「少すこし拍子抜ひょうしぬけした」とあるが、なぜか。

答案與解析

答案: 3 寒さむさを覚悟かくごして出でたのに、思おもったほど寒さむくなかったから

Line 7 says it wasn't as cold as expected because there was no wind, so it felt anticlimactic. The writer had prepared for the cold. Option 2 is why the writer was disappointed in line 5, not the reason for 拍子抜け.

R2筆者ひっしゃが公園こうえんで見みつけたものは何なにか。

答案與解析

答案: 2 雪ゆきをかぶってもふくらんでいる桜さくらのつぼみ

Line 9 says that though covered in snow, small buds had firmly swollen. The flowers have not bloomed yet, so 1 is wrong.
