表示轉(zhuǎn)折的but與yet

表示轉(zhuǎn)折的but與yet

1. but的用法。but主要用于表示轉(zhuǎn)折，意為“但是”

It was a sunny but not very warm day. 那一天天氣晴朗，卻不太暖和。

He drives not carefully but slowly. 他開車不是很小心，而是開得很慢。

【注】不要按漢語意思將“雖然…但是…”直譯為although…but…

誤：Though we are poor, but we are happy. (去掉though或but中任一個)

2. yet的用法。與but一樣，yet也主要用于轉(zhuǎn)折，意為“但是”“而”

I have failed, yet I shall try again. 我失敗了，但我還要嘗試。

【注】有時可與并列連詞and或but連用，構(gòu)成習語and yet和but yet，且兩者大致同義(均相當于表轉(zhuǎn)折的but)

She drove very fast to the airport, but [yet, and yet, but yet] she missed the plane. 她開快車去機場，可還是誤了飛機。
