2017中考英語(yǔ)復(fù)習(xí):but的用法

字號(hào):

1. 作連詞,可以連接兩個(gè)并列成分或兩個(gè)并列分句,意為“但是,然而”。如:
    He is young but very experienced.
    他雖然年輕,但很有經(jīng)驗(yàn)。
    Mary likes classical music, but her husband likes rock music.
    瑪麗喜歡古典音樂(lè),而她的丈夫卻喜歡搖滾樂(lè)。
    注意:but不能與though/although連用。
    2. 作介詞,常與nothing, nobody, who, all等連用,意為“除……之外”。如:
    We had nothing to do but wait. 除了等待之外,我們一籌莫展。
    No one but me saw him. 除了我之外,沒(méi)人看到他。
    3. 作副詞,意思接近于only,意為“只不過(guò)”。如:
    She is but a young girl. 她只不過(guò)是一個(gè)小女孩兒。
    4. 需掌握的一些其他用法:
    1)用于表示歉意的話語(yǔ)后,引起一個(gè)分句,but本身無(wú)意義。如:
    I’m sorry, but I think you are wrong when you say she did it willingly.
    抱歉,你說(shuō)她情愿做那件事,我覺(jué)得你搞錯(cuò)了。
    Excuse me, but are you Mr. Smith?
    對(duì)不起,您是史密斯先生嗎?
    2) 用在否定句后,引起一個(gè)分句,but意為“每當(dāng)……總是……”。如:
    It never rains but it pours.
    不下則已,一下傾盆;事情總是接踵而至。
    I never go past my old school but I think of Mr. Li.
    每當(dāng)我經(jīng)過(guò)母校時(shí),總會(huì)想起李老師。
    3) but for(后常接名詞、代詞)或but that……意為“要不是……”,句子(主句)常用虛擬語(yǔ)氣。 如:
    But for you, we couldn’t have carried out the plan.
    要不是你,我們不可能完成那項(xiàng)計(jì)劃。
    John would have helped us but that he was short of money at that time.
    要不是約翰當(dāng)時(shí)缺錢(qián),他一定會(huì)幫助我們的。
    4) not that……but (that)……不是……而是……
    Not that I don’t want to go, but that I have no time.
    不是我不想去,而是我沒(méi)時(shí)間。
    5) all but 除了……都,幾乎,差不多
    His letter is all but finished. 他的信快寫(xiě)完了。
    6) anything but 絕不,遠(yuǎn)非
    He is anything but an honest man. 他絕不是個(gè)誠(chéng)實(shí)的人。
    除以上談到的外,我們常見(jiàn)的but的慣用法還有:can not help but do 不能不,只能;not only……but also……不但……而且……,等等。
