二、詞義辨析：

but,however,still,yet,nevertheless,while,whereas

這些連詞或副詞均含“但是，可是，然而，而”之意。but口語常用詞，語氣較強，泛指與前述情況相反。however錶轉折關係，語氣稍弱於but，連接性也弱一些，因而常作插入語。still語氣強，多用於肯定句或疑問句。指儘管作出讓步，採取措施或表示反對，但情況仍然如故，無所改變。 yet常用於否定句，語氣比still稍強。指不管作出多大努力或讓步，仍達不到預期的結果。nevertheless指儘管作出完全讓步，也不會發生任何影響。while表對比，一般可與whereas換用，但程度弱一些。whereas表對比，一般可與while互換。

三、參考例句：

但是他們沒有。
