The wheel so fascinated the mind of man that he has spent centuries building machines around it; yet in over 4000 years he has not changed its basic design.
请教专家老师:这里的yet究竟是副词还是连词?遇到这种情况,总是搞不懂yet的词性和含义,请问老师有什么好的方法可以判断yet的词性和含义吗?谢谢!

yet 表示“转折” 意义,它既是连词,也是副词。判断 yet 是并列连词还是副词,看句子结构即可判断出来,举例如下:
1. He is old; yet he still keeps on studying. (yet 是副词,因为前面是分号,分号本身表示这句话是两个并列分句,所以第二分句不需要并列连词,那么 yet 就不是连词,而是副词)
2. He is old, yet he still keeps on studying. (yet 是并列连词,前面是逗号,yet = but)
3. He is old, and yet he still keeps on studying. (yet 是转折副词,因为 and 是并列连词,因为不可能两个并列连词)
网友的句子,跟句1结构相同,yet 是转折副词。

赞同刘老师的解答。受网友ljcEnglish私信之邀请,补充一点but和yet作连词之异同:
but和yet 均可作连词构成并列句,表示转折或对照,意为“但是,可是,然而”,但它们在意义表达上还是有差异的。but表示与前述情况相反的对立或比较时,过渡比较轻松、自然、平缓,不会引起人们强烈的反响,所表述的与前面相反或对立的事实较容易被人接受;yet 常表出乎人们的意料,语气比较强烈,含有“不应该如此;怎么会这样”的意义。比较:
He is a learned man, but he is modest. 他很博学,但他却很谦虚。(过渡轻松而自然,不会令人不解或感到意外)
He is a Chinese, yet he doesn't speak the Mandarin better than Jack. 他是一个中国人,但他的普通话讲得还不如杰克好。(中国人讲普通话还不如外国人,不应该是这样!)
