능률 (김) 고1- 1과 본문 분석 - The Final Touchdown -3

Well, Ethan is only five feet tall, and his legs unnaturally

bend away from each other. It is difficult for him to walk,

run, or move around.

Because of his condition, he decided to leave his crowed

high school in the big city. He moved to our school in the

middle of his first year in high school.

That following summer, he asked the coach if he could 

join the football team as a sophomore. The coach wasn't sure

practice.

Regardless of his physical difficulties, Ethan worked just as

hard as every other player on the team.

difficulty = 명사로 '어려움'  just as......as 의 구조에서 worked 가 동사 이므로 as hard as의 형태인 부사 hard  every other + 단수 명사

Although he knew he would never be a valuable player in 

any of the team's games, he poured his heart and soul into

practice every day.

although= even if= even though= though=양보절을 이끄는 접속사로 '비록 ~일지라도' 같은 뜻인 despite, in spite of 는 전치사 이다 any는 '어떤 ~라도 ' 뜻으로 the 명사 를 수식할때 of로 연결한다
