Grammar Points

不仅……也/还……not only... but also...HSK 4

This pattern connects two related results, actions, or evaluations, emphasizing that the second point is added on top of the first. It is very common in formal writing and news reports. The second part often uses 也 or 还.

"这些袭击不仅波及居民区,还造成251个医疗中心、498所学校以及17个红新月会中心受损。"

"这不仅违背了特朗普避免卷入中东战争的承诺,也在客观上削弱了共和党在选举中的核心议题优势。"

无论是……还是……whether... or...HSK 5

This structure lists two or more possibilities and means that all of them are included in the statement. It is often used to show that the conclusion applies in every listed case.

"无论是总统还是政府其他官员,在“推动政权更迭”“削弱甚至摧毁伊朗的军事能力”以及“打击其核计划”之间不断切换,逻辑上相互矛盾。"

"出于对美国的依赖,无论是安全、经济还是地缘政治层面,它们多在私下表达不满。"

由于……because of / due toHSK 4

由于 introduces a reason or cause, often in formal or written Chinese. It is similar to 因为, but sounds more formal and is common in academic, political, and news contexts.

"由于其模糊的军事目标,美国总统特朗普可以在任何时刻“宣布胜利”并结束行动,这种不确定性也解释了海湾国家当前的谨慎态度。"

"正由于美国在军事目标上缺乏清晰界定,理论上总统可以在任何时刻“宣布胜利”并结束行动。"

一方面……另一方面……on the one hand... on the other hand...HSK 5

This pattern presents two sides of a situation, often contrasting considerations, causes, or arguments. It is especially useful in analytical and argumentative writing.

"一方面,伊朗革命卫队在西部库尔德地区长期保持高压态势并实施打击;另一方面,库尔德人对美国的信任也有限,考虑到他们在叙利亚问题上曾被“抛弃”的历史。"

"一方面,它们对美国的不满与不信任在上升;另一方面也担心一旦深度介入对伊朗作战,而美国随后单方面结束行动,它们将被单独留在更深层次的冲突之中。"

在……情况下 / 在……背景下under... circumstances / in the context of...HSK 5

This structure sets the condition, background, or larger context in which something happens. It is very common in formal analysis and news language to frame events before giving the main statement.

"在战争引发能源价格上涨的背景下,美军的行动不仅违背了特朗普避免卷入中东战争的承诺,也在客观上削弱了共和党在选举中的核心议题优势。"

"在缺乏清晰战略连贯性的情况下,特朗普通过不断释放相互冲突的信息,让对手乃至盟友都难以预判其意图,从而维持不确定性优势。"
