Grammar Points

哪怕……都/也……even if / no matter howHSK 5

Used to emphasize that even in an extreme or minimal case, the result still holds true. 哪怕 introduces a hypothetical or extreme condition, and 都 or 也 marks the unchanged outcome.

"在奥运会上,哪怕是最微小的优势,都可能决定你是否获得金牌。"

不再……而是……no longer... but rather...HSK 5

This pattern shows a change from an old method, state, or standard to a new one. It is very common in formal writing when contrasting previous practice with a new approach.

"资格认定不再依赖于运动员自我认同的性别或睾酮水平的波动控制,而是回归到最基础的生物学指标——SRY基因筛查。"

若……则……if... then...HSK 6

A formal written pattern used to express conditional logic. 若 introduces the condition, and 则 gives the consequence. It is common in policies, laws, and academic writing.

"若筛查结果为阴性,即无SRY基因,该运动员将永久满足参加女子组赛事的资格;若结果为阳性,则原则上被禁止参加女子组比赛。"

虽然……但/却……although... but...HSK 4

Used to express contrast: the first clause presents a fact or concession, and the second clause gives an unexpected or contrasting result. In formal texts, 但 is sometimes omitted when the contrast is already clear.

"在这些个案中,运动员虽然携带Y染色体,但由于身体组织对雄激素完全不反应,并未获得由睾酮带来的性能增强优势,因此仍可能被允许参赛。"

"虽然外界争论不断,但可以确认的是,至少在奥运会的聚光灯下,那道关于性别的界限,已经被划得泾渭分明。"

之所以……是因为……the reason... is because...HSK 5

This pattern explains causes in a clear and formal way. 之所以 introduces the result or situation, and 是因为 gives the reason. It is especially common in written Chinese.

"国际奥委会之所以表示SRY基因检测是侵入性最小的生理性别筛查方法,是因为性别筛查方法始于20世纪60年代,当时女运动员最初被要求脱掉内衣以证明她们的参赛资格。"
