  • 词义辨析
  • but, except
  • 这两个词都表示“除…外”。but和except都表示从整体中除去部分,但在but的句子里,着重在整体; 在用except的句子里,着重在除去的部分。
  • but, however, how ever, no matter how
  • 1.however是一个词, how ever是两个词,其中第二个词ever起加强语气的作用。
    2.however和no matter how的意思都是“不管…怎样”,但前者为书面语; 后者多用于口语。
    3.but和however用作连词时,都可以连接两个相反的观念和事物,但but所表示的是非常明显的对比,其连接部分必须是两个并列对等的成分; however是正式的用语,通常连接两个句子或作插入语用,是将后者和前者加以比较从而看出后者和前者意思相反。
  • besides,but,except,except for
  • 这些前置词或短语都含“除……之外”之意。
    besides着重于指另外还有。
    but侧重指不包括在内。
    except侧重于排除在外,从整体里减去。可与but换用,但语气较强。
    except for多用于在说明基本情况或对主要部分加以肯定,还引出相反的原因或细节,从而部分地修正前面的主要意思,含惋惜意味。
  • but,however,still,yet,nevertheless,while,whereas
  • 这些连词或副词都含“但是,可是,然而,而”之意。
    but口语常用词,语气较强,泛指与前述情况相反。
    however表转折关系,语气稍弱于but,连接性也弱一些,因而常作插入语。
    still语气强,多用于肯定句或疑问句。指尽管作出让步,采取措施或表示反对,但情况仍然如故,无所改变。
    yet常用于否定句,语气比still稍强。指不管作出多大努力或让步,仍达不到预期的结果。
    nevertheless指尽管作出完全让步,也不会发生任何影响。
    while表对比,一般可与whereas换用,但程度弱一些。
    whereas表对比,一般可与while互换。
  • but,however
  • 这两个连词都有“但是,可是,然而”之意。
    but连接两个分句或有关部分,表示转折或逻辑上的对比关系,使用最广,口语中更为常见。
    however转折意味比but弱,连接的两个分句或有关部分的关系较为松弛,后一部分常起附带说明或衬托作用。however常以插入语形式出现在句子中间,前后用逗号隔开,也可置于句首或句末。
  • cabin,cottage,but,shed
  • 这些名词都含有“小屋”之意。
    cabin多指建造粗糙的简陋小木屋,也指旅客或船员住的船舱。现在也指节假日旅游者的简便住房。
    cottage指穷苦人住的乡间小茅屋。现在也指雅致的小住宅,在美国可指别墅。
    but多指供居住或遮避风雨的简易小屋。
    shed一般指四壁没有完全封闭,供牲畜用或储藏东西、停放车辆等的简易棚屋。
