He had managed to loosen it,but only with a pair of pliers (钳子).
but是连词但是的意思吗?only是什么词性? 在这什么意思? 什么作用啊?only是强调的意思吗?谢谢老师!
这里实际是一种省略说法,相当于: He had managed to loosen it, but he had only managed to loosen it with a pair of pliers. 或 ...but he had managed to loosen it only with a pair of pliers.
but是连词,only为副词。强调只能用钳子才能松开。言外之意没有钳子不行。
