不""(不是不"")用but。因为这个两个句子只是纯粹的对比关系,而不是强转折关系。就比如:


你喜欢喝茶,我喜欢喝咖啡。


这二者之间哪来的“强转折”关系?更多的只是双方不同的爱好习惯对比而已,转折关系确实不明显。相反,如果说


你喜欢喝茶,但是我喜欢喝茶


这倒是可以说构成了强转折关系,可以用but。总之,多看看句子表达的意思,不要被中文汉字所束缚--有时候中文似乎可以用“但是”,但英文却不适合用but


为什么我说是不宜用,而没说不能用呢?因为语法的作用不是规定句子应该怎么写/说,而是解释句子为什么会这么写/说。所以,如果这句话你说给我听,你用while,我知道你只是把两种习俗进行对比,而你用but,我知道你想强调后者,如此而已。


另外,如果有老师解答了你的问题,你觉得满意,可以采纳;觉得不满意,可以继续追问,不理不睬,重新开贴,确实不妥。


希望对你有所启迪。

通常说,while表示对比转折,but表示否定性转折。

但其实这是个语体问题:说与写的区别。


说的时候,but自然;写的时候,while正式。

在中国的考试卷上,因为是写,尽量用while.

越南人bamboo13问:

I like American films but she she likes Korean ones. 

I think "but" is used correctly in this sentence. "But" can be replaced by "While" or "Whereas". I think "And" can also be used in this situation. Which word is the most suitable in this example? Please give me a clear explanation? Thank you !

美国人1答:

"But" is the word that I'd expect to hear in the ordinary speech of my compatriots, bamboo13.
"While" and "whereas" would both work in that sentence, but they aren't as commonly used as "but" is. In my experience, "whereas" is rare in speech.

美国人2答:

"But" is a conjunction to show contrast between two clauses. It is used correctly in this case. There should be a comma between "films" and "but": " ....films, but..." "While" and "Whereas" function as alternatives to "but." As a side note, I learned that using "where" as a conjunction should be discouraged.

"And" is also a conjunction and joins two clauses that agree. There is also no comma before "and."

。。。略
