专业提示

区分 'but' 和 'however'

'but' 更口语化且直接,适合日常对话;'however' 更正式,常用于书面语或学术文章。例如:'I wanted to go, but it rained.'(我想去,但下雨了。)vs 'I wanted to go; however, it rained.'(我想去;然而,下雨了。)

黄金法则

否定句中的 'but'

在否定句中,'but' 通常表示‘除了’或‘除非’。例如:'Nobody but you knows the answer.'(除了你,没人知道答案。)

词源

Middle English, from Old English būtan 'outside, without, except', from be 'by' + ūtan 'out'. The conjunction sense developed in Middle English.

用法说明

在英语中,'but' 是最常用的转折连词之一。在口语中,有时会用 'but' 来引出补充或修正,显得更自然。注意与 'however' 的区别:'but' 更直接,'however' 更正式或书面化。
