yet的用法

1、yet用作连词时，与but一样也主要用于转折，意为“但是”“而”：

I have failed, yet I shall try again. 我失败了，但我还要尝试。

The judge was stern, yet completely fair. 法官很严峻，却完全公正。

They are the same, yet not the same. 它们又一样，又不一样。

It is strange, yet it is true. 那真是怪事，然而却是事实。

I’ve been away only for three years, yet I can hardly recognize my hometown.

我仅在外三年，可我几乎认不出我自己的故乡了。

He said he was our friend, yet he wouldn’t help us. 他说他是我们的朋友，但却不肯帮助我们。

2、有时用在句首。如：

Yet the house was cheerful. 但屋子里显得很欢快。

Yet its population has doubled. 但它的人口翻了一番。

3、yet有时可与并列连词and或but连用，构成习语and yet和but yet，意为“虽然如此”“可是”

“然而”，与单独使用的yet意思相同。如：

He’s not really nice-looking, and yet he has enormous charm. 他并不十分好看，可是他很有魅力。

She’s a funny girl, but yet you can’t help liking her. 她是一个奇怪的姑娘，但你禁不住会喜欢她。

I gave him ten pounds (and) yet he was not satisfied. 我给了他十镑但他仍不满足。

She’s vain and foolish, and yet people like her. 她很虚荣愚蠢，但人们却喜欢她。

She drove very fast to the airport, but [yet, and yet, but yet] she missed the plane.

她开快车去机场，可还是误了飞机。

4、根据英语习惯，although不能与连词but搭配使用，但是although可以与yet搭配连用(此时的yet可

视为副词)。如：

Although we are poor, yet we are happy. 尽管我们穷，但我们很快活。

Although we have made some progress, yet we still have a long way to go.

我们虽然取得了些进步，但还是远远不够的。
