中考英语语法——并列连词but和yet的用法

1. but 的⽤法

主要⽤于表⽰转折，意为“但是” 。如：

It was a sunny but not very warm day. 那⼀天天⽓晴朗，却不太暖和。

He drives not carefully but slowly. 他开车不是很⼩⼼，⽽是开得很慢。

注意：不要按汉语意思将“虽然……但是……”直译为 although…but…。如：

虽然我们很贫穷，但我们很快乐。

误：Although we are poor,but we are happy.

正：Though we are poor,we are happy./We are poor, but we are happy.

2. yet 的⽤法

与 but ⼀样，yet 也主要⽤于表⽰转折，意为“但是”、“⽽” 。如：

I have failed, yet I shall try again. 我失败了，但我还要尝试。

注意：有时可与并列连词 and 或 but 连⽤，构成习语 and yet 和 but yet，且两者⼤致同义(均相当于表转折的 but)。如： She drove very fast to the airport, but [yet, and yet, but yet] she missed the plane. 她开快车去机场，可还是误了飞机。
