But 在此的词性依旧是连词。

张道真《现代英语用法词典》第 174 页:

but)间或引起状语等:

He tried to save it, but in vain. (Sinclair)

He worked hard but without any success. (Eckersley)

She glanced quickly about, but seeing only the empty room. (Dreiser)

另:In Britain the government advises people to wear masks, but to little effect. (The Economist)
