下面来看几个连接副词在作副词和连词时的区别:
However
however 作副词时,可位于形容词/副词之前:
You couldnt earn much, however hard you worked.
无论你干得多卖力,你都挣不了多少钱。
however 作连词时通常意为但是,可位于它所引导的从句之前或之后,或位于第一个词或短语之后:
Ill offer it to Tom. However, he may not want it. / He may not want it however. / Tom, however, may not want it.
我将提出把这个给汤姆,然而他可能不要它。
但提到两句意义相反的话时, however意为但是/仍然/同样:
They hadnt trained hard, however ( / but / nevertheless / all the same) they won.
他们并没有刻苦训练,但/无论如何/仍然/同样获胜了。
Otherwise
otherwise 作为副词时常常位于动词之后:
It must be used in a well-ventilated room. Used otherwise it could be harmful.
必须在通风条件好的房间里使用。如不这样使用则可能是有害的。
otherwise 作连词时意为要是不/否则:
We must be early; otherwise we wont get a seat.
我们得早点去,否则我们就没有座位了。
在英语口语中,这里也可用or:
We must be early or(else)we wont get a seat.
我们得早点去,否则我们就没有座位了。
So
so 作程度副词,位于形容词/副词之前:
It was so hot that...
天气太热了,因而
They ran so fast that...
他们骑得太快了,因而
so 作连词时位于它所引导的从句之前:
Our cases were heavy, so we took a taxi.
我们的箱子太重了,所以我们要了辆出租车。
Still Yet
still 和 yet 可作时间副词:
The children are still up. They havent had supper yet.
孩子们还没上床睡觉/醒着。他们还没吃晚饭呢。
still 和 yet 作连词时位于它们所引导的从句之前。still 意为虽承认某事/尽管如此yet 意为不管,不顾/同样/尽管如此。
Its raining; still Id like to go.
天下着雨,尽管如此,我还是要去的。
They are ugly and expensive; yet people buy them.
它们既难看又昂贵,但人们还是买。
