still less 只用于否定句， still more 用于肯定句，是强意肯定，let alone 表示进一步的否定或肯定，意为更不用说、还不算。

e. g. The baby can’t walk, let alone run. (更不用说跑)He can’t speak his native language well, let alone English.Her temper is bad enough, let alone her extravagance.（还不算）(肯定)另外，still less = much less = even less, 它们可以用在否定句中：He could barely pay for his own meal, much less for mine.He can’t run a hundred yards, even less a mile.The baby can’t even walk, much less run.despite 论语气，despite比in spite of谨严，但意思没有分别，都可译做虽然或不顾，例如：In spite of/Despite mounting public discontent, the government is determined to push the bill through.（虽然公众不满愈来愈强烈，政府还是执意要通过议案。

）有时，我们会看到despite of mounting public discontent之类说法，但despite之后加of，一般被视为鄙俗甚至不正确，不宜仿效。

In spite of或despite之后必须用名词或动名词（gerund），不能接普通子句（clause），例如不可说Despite the public is getting increasingly discontented只能说Despite the fact that the public is getting increasingly discontented。

As regards/ with regards to 用于句子开头Regarding in regards to 用于句中await，wait （一）await是及物动词，后面直接接宾语；wait虽然也可用作及物动词，但在现代英语中，一般作不及物动词用，与for，to，till，until等词连用。

（二）await的宾语大都是抽象名词，如：decision，reply，arrival，announcement，return等；wait for的宾语一般是人或事物。

countersign 副署；会签；确认in accordance toin accordance with according to比较随意, in accordance with则多用于比较正式的问题，比如法律文件。
