無論如何還是這樣（障礙擋不住）
最接近字根「無論用哪種方式」：擺出一個看似會阻擋的東西，然後說事情照樣成立。
nonetheless · r · A2
Used to say that something is or will be true even though something else might seem to stop it.
還是 / 仍然
核心畫面
You can picture 'anyway' as a hand that aside whatever was just said and pushes the conversation forward regardless. Literally 'in any way' — no matter which way things go, this still stands. From that one move come two flavours: 'it happens regardless' (the obstacle doesn't change it), and 'never mind that, let's move on' (brushing a side-point away to get to the point).

可以把 anyway 想成一隻手，把剛剛說的東西輕輕揮到一邊，不管它、把話題往前推。它字面是「無論用哪種方式」——不管事情怎麼走，這件事還是成立。從這一個動作分出兩種味道：一是「無論如何還是這樣」（障礙改變不了它），二是「那個就先別管了，我們繼續」（把岔出去的小點撥開，回到重點）。From the word’s history
Compound of 'any' + 'way', literally 'in any way / by any path'. The brush-aside meaning grows from 'no matter which way, this still holds'.
由 any＋way 合成，字面是「以任何方式／走任何一條路」。「揮到一邊、不管它」的用法，就是從「不管走哪條路，這件事還是成立」長出來的。

那個別管了（撥開岔出去的小點）
把「揮到一邊」用在說話上：剛提到的東西其實不重要，撥開它、補一個更要緊的點，或乾脆跳過細節回到主線。
besides, it doesn't matter · r · A2
Used when you add a point that shows the thing just mentioned does not really matter.
