并列连词but用法归纳

 

并列连词but用法一:

并列连词but表示转折,意为“但是”“可是”。如:

She is American but she lives in England. 她是美国人,但住在英国。

I can believe him, but I cannot believe in him.我相信他说的话是真的,但是不相信他的为人。

按英语习惯,表示转折的but不能与表示让步的thoughalthough套用,如:

误:Although they are twins, but they look entirely different.

正:They are twins, but they look entirely different.

正:Although they are twins, they look entirely different.

并列连词but可以表示“同时也”“但也”。如:

并列连词but用法四:

并列连词but有时用于 excuse me, I’m sorry等表示道歉或客气的表达后表示语气委婉,注意此时不宜换成连词and。如:

并列连词but用法六:

并列连词but用于否定词语(尤其是never,有时也可能是not, no, hardly)后,表示without the result that...without it also being the case that...,其意为“而不产生…的结果;而不同时也…”,结合其前的否定词通常译为“一…就”“每…都会”“一…总会”“没有…而不”。如:
