这并不说明... (This does not indicate...)

Grammar & Usage

fixed expression

neutral

How it works

This phrase serves to introduce a statement that contradicts an assumption or a potential conclusion. '这' (zhè) means 'this', '并' (bìng) is an intensifier used with '不' (bù) to emphasize a negative, meaning 'definitely not' or 'not at all'. '说明' (shuōmíng) means 'to explain', 'to indicate', or 'to show'. The ellipsis (...) implies that a clause or fact will follow, detailing what is not indicated.

Sample sentences

他今天迟到了，但这并不说明他不重视这份工作。
