“力”刻行动 搞定英语
一、连词是什么
连词是一种虚词(虚词:无实在意义,在句子中不能独立承担句子成分的一类词),用于连接单词、短语、从句或句子,在句子中不单独用作句子成分。
连词按其性质可分为并列连词和从属连词。
并列连词用于连接并列的单词、短语、从句或句子;
如and, but, or, for等;
从属连词主要引出名词性从句(主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句等)和状语从句(时间状语从句、条件状语从句、目的状语从句等),
引出名词性从句的连词如that, whether等,引出状语从句的连词
如when, because, since, if 等。
二、并列连词的用法
(一)、表示转折关系的并列连词。
主要有 but(但是), yet(可是), while(而,却)等。
如:
I would have written before but I have been ill.
我本该早写信的,但我生病了。
I have failed, yet I shall try again.
我失败了,但我还要尝试。
You like tennis, while I’d rather read.
你爱打网球,但我爱看书
but的用法举例:
- 连接词或短语
He drives not carefully but slowly.
他开车不是很小心,而是开得很慢。
- 连接句子
This isn’t a good one but it will answer.
这不太好,但可以将就用。
She has had no answer to him but he gave no answer.
我向他说了早上好,但他没有回应。
-
用于句首
But in secret she was delighted.
但她暗中感到高兴。
But what else can we do?
我们还能做什么? -
用于道歉的表达之后
Sorry, but we’re behind schedule.
抱歉,我们落在计划后了。
I’m frightfully sorry, but I can’t see you today.
太对不起了,我今天不能见你
- 用于not…but…,表示“不是……而是……”
Not you but I am to blame.
不是你的错而是我的错。
- 用在某些否定语后,表示“只……”:
He eats nothing but hamburgers.
他只吃汉堡包。
She knows no one but you.
她只认识你。
You have nobody but yourself to blame.
只能怪你自己。
-
用于next (last) but one 中,表示“隔壁再过去”“倒数第……”
He lives in the next house but one.
他住在隔壁再过去一家。
He was the last but one to arrive.
他是倒数第二个到的。 -
can’t help but 不由得不……
You can’t help but respect them.
你不由得不尊敬他们。
I can’t help but wonder what I should do next.
我不由得不想知道下一步该怎么办。
【注意】不要按汉语意思将“虽然…但是…”直译为although…but…:
误:Though we are poor, but we are happy.
(去掉though或but中任一个)
but 与 however的用法区别
两者均可表示转折或对比,意为“但是”、“可是”、“然而”等,但有区别:
-
表示转折时,but 是连词。如:
He is young but very experienced.
他虽年轻,但经验很丰富。
He has three daughters but no sons.
他有3 个女儿,但没有儿子。 -
however 表示“然而”、“可是”时,有的词书认为它是连词,有的词书认为它是副词。
之所以将其视为副词,也许是因为像许多副词一样不仅能位于句首,而且能位于句中(注意前后使用逗号),
甚至句末(注意其前也用逗号)。
如:
Later, however, he changed his mind.
可是他后来改变了主意。
He hasn’t arrived. He may, however, come later.
他还没有到,不过他等会儿可能会来。
He said that it was so; he was mistaken, however.
他说情况如此,可是他错了。
【注意:】以上各例中的 however 不能换成 but,但可用 but 来改写。如:
He said that it was so, but he was mistaken.
他说情况如此,可他错了。
- 当连接两个句子时,其前通常应用分号,或另起新句。
如:It’s raining hard; however, I think we should go out.
/ It’s raining hard. However, I think we should go out.
雨下得很大,但我想我们还得出去。
【注意:】上例中的 however 不能换成 but,但可用 but 来改写 (注意所用标点的变化)。
如:It’s raining hard, but I think we should go out.
yet的用法
1、yet用作连词时,与but一样也主要用于转折,意为“但是”“而”:
I have failed, yet I shall try again.
我失败了,但我还要尝试。
2、有时用在句首。如:Yet the house was cheerful.
但屋子里显得很欢快。
3、yet有时可与并列连词and或but连用,构成习语and yet和but yet,意为“虽然如此”“可是”“然而”,与单独使用的yet意思相同。如:
He’s not really nice-looking, and yet he has enormous charm. 他并不十分好看,可是他很有魅力。
4、根据英语习惯,although不能与连词but搭配使用,但是although可以与yet搭配连用(此时的yet可视为副词)。
如:Although we are poor, yet we are happy.
尽管我们穷,但我们很快活。
Although we have made some progress, yet we still have a long way to go.
我们虽然取得了些进步,但还是远远不够的。
