regardless of ： spite ， in ～ of — 861
regardless of 这个复合介词和 in spite of 这个短语介词同义，都作“不顾”或“不管”讲，只是 regardless of 只能引导名词作宾语，而 in spite of 则既可引导名词又可引导由 the fact that 连接的让步从句作宾语。
例如：
I'll go to see him regardless of the weather. 不管天气如何，我一定要去看看他。
The secret of remaining young in spite of old age and white hair is to preserve our enthusiasm. — Amiel. 不管年事多高、头发多白，只要保持积极热情，就能永葆青春，秘诀就在这里。
比较：
I'll go to see him regardless of the weather. 不管天气如何，我一定要去看看他。（只能引导名词）
I'll go to see him in spite of the fact that the weather has turned bad. 不管天气变得怎样不好，我一定要去看看他。
（可以引导从句）
