Accurately expressed, deeply in many professional, professional, and academic contexts.

The grouping below is a teaching proposal by Mandarin Sprout, not the full CTI grammar syllabus.

并不意味着 to block an inferencebìng bù yì wèi zhe

A statistical association does not establish causation. Notice exactly what is being denied.

存在联系并不意味着已经证明因果关系。cún zài lián xì bìng bù yì wèi zhe yǐ jīng zhèng míng yīn guǒ guān xì。

充其量 for an upper limitchōng qí liàng

充其量 sets an upper limit on what the available evidence can support.

未尝不是 for a cautious affirmationwèi cháng bù shì

The double negative allows a cautiously positive judgment. It is not an absolute assertion.

承认局限，未尝不是一种负责任的态度。chéng rèn jú xiàn， wèi cháng bù shì yī zhǒng fù zé rèn de tài dù。

毋庸置疑 for a limited point of certaintywú yōng zhì yí

This phrase marks the point that is not in doubt. Do not extend that certainty to the interpretation that remains disputed.

数据需要核查，这一点毋庸置疑；但解释仍有争议。shù jù xū yào hé chá， zhè yī diǎn wú yōng zhì yí； dàn jiě shì réng yǒu zhēng yì。

换言之 to restate an implicationhuàn yán zhī

Restate the implication of the previous statement without adding a conclusion that goes beyond the evidence.

样本不代表全部人群，换言之，结论的适用范围有限。yàng běn bù dài biǎo quán bù rén qún， huàn yán zhī， jié lùn de shì yòng fàn wéi yǒu xiàn。

无可厚非…但… for qualified acceptancewú kě hòu fēi… dàn…

Accept the aim of efficiency while requiring fairness to limit its pursuit. A concession is not unconditional approval.
