用法辨析:however与but 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 is young but very experienced.
他虽年轻,但经验很丰富。
2、however 表示“然而”、“可是”时,有的词书认为它是连词,有的词书认为它是副词。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)。
Later, however, he changed his mind.
可是他后来改变了主意。
3、当连接两个句子时,其前通常应用分号,或另起新句。
It’s raining hard; however, I think we should go out. / 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。
however的用法和短语?
however 常用于表示转折或对比,译为“然而”、“可是”,“不过”,“仍然”等时,有的词书认为它是连词,有的词书认为它是副词。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,甚至句末,相当于 nevertheless 或 despite this.

He was feeling very ill. However, he went to school.他感到很不舒服。但他仍然去上学了。
She is the best student in school. However, she doesn’t do homeworks on time.她是学校里最好的学生。可是她没有按时做家庭作业。
二、however 还可以出现在主语或 be 动词之后,或实义动词之前,前后以逗号隔开,例如:

三、当 however 用于连接两个独立的句子,应在 however 前面加分号“;”,或另起新句,例如:

解析:此句等于 I’d like to go with you. However, my hands are full.
