重点单词
1. but 与 however的用法区别
两者均可表示转折或对比，意为“但是” “可是” “然而”等，但有区别：
（1）表示转折时，but 是连词。如：
He likes sports, but his wife likes music. 他喜欢运动，而他妻子则喜欢音乐。
（2）however 表示“然而” ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) “可是”时，有的认为它是连词，有的认为它是副词。之所以将其视为副词，也许是因为像许多副词一样不仅能位于句首，而且能位于句中(注意前后使用逗号)，甚至句末（注意其前也用逗号）。如：
Later, however, he changed his mind. 可是他后来改变了主意。
He said that it was so; he was mistaken, however. 他说情况如此，可是他错了。
【注意】以上各例中的 however 不能换成 but，但可用 but 来改写。如：
He said that it was so, but he was mistaken. 他说情况如此，可他错了。
（3）当连接两个句子时，其前通常应用分号，或另起新句。如：
It’s raining hard; however, I think we should go out.雨下得很大，但我想我们还得出去。
【注意】上例中的 however 不能换成 but，但可用 but 来改写 (注意所用标点的变化)。如：
It’s raining hard, but I think we should go out.
