  • 词义辨析

    but, except

    这两个词都表示“除…外”。but和except都表示从整体中除去部分,但在but的句子里,着重在整体; 在用except的句子里,着重在除去的部分。

    but, however, how ever, no matter how

    1.however是一个词, how ever是两个词,其中第二个词ever起加强语气的作用。

    2.however和no matter how的意思都是“不管…怎样”,但前者为书面语; 后者多用于口语。

    3.but和however用作连词时,都可以连接两个相反的观念和事物,但but所表示的是非常明显的对比,其连接部分必须是两个并列对等的成分; however是正式的用语,通常连接两个句子或作插入语用,是将后者和前者加以比较从而看出后者和前者意思相反。

    besides,but,except,except for

    这些前置词或短语都含“除……之外”之意。

    besides着重于指另外还有。

    but侧重指不包括在内。

    except侧重于排除在外,从整体里减去。可与but换用,但语气较强。

    except for多用于在说明基本情况或对主要部分加以肯定,还引出相反的原因或细节,从而部分地修正前面的主要意思,含惋惜意味。

  • 速记技巧

    词源记忆法

    来自古英语butan。b同by, 在旁边。-ut, 发音同out,向外。所以but就是与参照的对象不是属于同一范畴的,不一样的,除此以外的。大家感觉一下【但是】和【在……旁边】的意思,是不是都有不属于统一范畴的内涵呢?
