同义词辨析

but, however, still, yet, nevertheless, while, whereas

这些连词或副词均含"但是，可是，然而，而"之意。

but：口语常用词，语气较强，泛指与前述情况相反。

however：表转折关系，语气稍弱于but，连接性也弱一些，因而常作插入语。

still：语气强，多用于肯定句或疑问句。指尽管作出让步，采取措施或表示反对，但情况仍然如故，无所改变。

yet：常用于否定句，语气比still稍强。指不管作出多大努力或让步，仍达不到预期的结果。

nevertheless：指尽管作出完全让步，也不会发生任何影响。

while：表对比，一般可与whereas换用，但程度弱一些。

whereas：表对比，一般可与while互换。

when, while, as

when：所引导的从句，其谓语动词既可是持续动词，也可是短暂动词；谓语动词动作发生的时间可以与主句谓语动词的动作是同时，或之前、之后。

while：句中的谓语动词应为持续动词，不用短暂动词，谓语动作发生的时间通常与主句谓语动词动作发生时间是同时。

as：侧重指从句与主句的动作同时进行，谓语动词可以是持续性的，可以是短暂性动词。
