How does one say in Chinese "Just because.....doesn't mean (that)....." as in:

Just because she's pretty doesn't mean that everyone likes her.

or

Just because it's sunny today doesn't mean it's going to be sunny tomorrow.

?

Thanks.

她漂亮并不意味着每个人都喜欢她.

今天阳光明媚并不意味着明天也会阳光明媚.

Hi,

a more colloquial way to say it is:

就算她很漂亮,也不代表大家都喜歡她.Or, 就算她很漂亮,也不表示大家都喜歡她.

就算今天天氣晴朗, 也不代表明天天氣也會晴朗. Or, 就算今天天氣晴朗, 也不表示明天天氣也會晴朗.

Hope it helps!:)
