有以下三個句子:
I love her, but she doesn't love me.
我愛她,但是她不愛我。
I love her. However, she doesn't love me.
我愛她,然而,她不愛我。
Some people waste food while others haven't enough.
有人浪費食物,然而,另外有些卻吃不飽飯。
仔細觀察這三個句子,我們發現but,however和while都有表示轉折的意思,那這三個詞在用法上到底有什麼區別呢?
- but的轉折程度的語氣比however更強烈一些。
- but和後面的內容聯繫緊密,所以不用逗號隔開;however後需要有逗號隔開。
- while用於並列句第二句的開頭,除了表示轉折以外,還有和前一句進行對比的意思。
比如說第三個例句:
Some people waste food while others haven't enough.
有人浪費食物,然而,另外有些卻吃不飽飯。
把吃不上飯的人和浪費食物的人進行比較。
