however

漢語翻譯

ad. 然而, 無論如何, 究竟怎樣
conj. 然而, 可是

詞意辨析：

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

這些連詞或副詞均含“但是，可是，然而，而”之意。
but: 口語常用詞，語氣較強，泛指與前述情況相反。
however: 錶轉折關係，語氣稍弱於but，連線性也弱一些，因而常作插入語。
still: 語氣強，多用於肯定句或疑問句。指儘管作出讓步，採取措施或表示反對，但情況仍然如故，無所改變。
yet: 常用於否定句，語氣比still稍強。指不管作出多大努力或讓步，仍達不到預期的結果。
nevertheless: 指儘管作出完全讓步，也不會發生任何影響。
while: 表對比，一般可與whereas換用，但程度弱一些。
whereas: 表對比，一般可與while互換。

but, however

這兩個連詞都有“但是，可是，然而”之意。
but: 連線兩個分句或有關部分，表示轉折或邏輯上的對比關係，使用最廣，口語中更為常見。

• we love peace but we are not afraid of war.
  我們熱愛和平，但我們並不害怕戰爭。

however: 轉折意味比but弱，連線的兩個分句或有關部分的關係較為鬆弛，後一部分常起附帶說明或襯托作用。however常以插入語形式出現在句子中間，前後用逗號隔開，也可置於句首或句末。

• later，however，he decided to go.
  可是後來他決定去了。
