二、詞義辨析:有哪些連詞詞匯含有轉(zhuǎn)折的意思

but, however, still, yet, nevertheless, while, whereas

這些連詞或副詞均含“但是,可是,然而,而”之意。

but口語常用詞,語氣較強(qiáng),泛指與前述情況相反。

however表轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,語氣稍弱于

but,連接性也弱一些,因而常作插入語。

still語氣強(qiáng),多用于肯定句或疑問句。指盡管作出讓步,采取措施或表示反對,但情況仍然如故,無所改變。

yet常用于否定句,語氣比

still稍強(qiáng)。指不管作出多大努力或讓步,仍達(dá)不到預(yù)期的結(jié)果。

nevertheless指盡管作出完全讓步,也不會發(fā)生任何影響。

while表對比,一般可與

whereas換用,但程度弱一些。
