【拓展】however 与 but 的辨析：
(1) 从语义上看，but 所表示的是非常明显的对比，转折的意味比 however 强。
(2) 从语法上看，but 是个并列连词，而 however 却是个副词。
(3) 从语序上看，but 总是位于它所引出的分句之首，而 however 却可位于分句之首、之中或之尾，但
在翻译成汉语时，一定要把它放在分句之首。
(4) 从标点上看，but 之后一般不得使用逗号，但 however 位于分句之首时，通常用逗号；位于分句之
中时，通常在其前、后各加一个逗号；位于分句之尾时，则必须在其前加逗号。例如：
We love peace, but we are not afraid of war. 我们热爱和平，但是我们并不害怕战争。
He hasn’t arrived. He may, however, come later. 他还没有到，不过，他可能过一会儿来。

【拓展】while; when 与 as 的辨析：
(1) while 强调动作同时进行，从句常用进行时，其动词必须为延续性动词或表状态。例如：

(2) when 既可指动作同时进行，也可指先后发生，从句中的动作既可是延续性动词，也可是非延续性动词。
若是同时发生且为延续性动词，则可与 while 互换；若 when 作并列连词，表示“就在那时，这时候”则只能
用 when，并且 when 引导的从句只能放在后面。
试比较：
When the alien got out, the girl was shopping. = While the girl was shopping, the alien got out.当外星人出来时，
小女孩在购物。
We were watching TV when there was a knock at the door. 我们在看电视，这时有人敲门。

【拓展】however 与 but 的辨析：

(2) 从语法上看，but 是个并列连词，而 however 却是个副词。
(3) 从语序上看，but 总是位于它所引出的分句之首，而 however 却可位于分句之首、之中或之尾，但
在翻译成汉语时，一定要把它放在分句之首。
(4) 从标点上看，but 之后一般不得使用逗号，但 however 位于分句之首时，通常用逗号；位于分句之
中时，通常在其前、后各加一个逗号；位于分句之尾时，则必须在其前加逗号。例如：
We love peace, but we are not afraid of war. 我们热爱和平，但是我们并不害怕战争。
He hasn’t arrived. He may, however, come later. 他还没有到，不过，他可能过一会儿来。

用 when，并且 when 引导的从句只能放在后面。

小女孩在购物。
