English Grammar -Adverbs-Yet / Yet 的用法

◇ Adverbs-Yet 
 Yet 的用法


  yet 本身是一般副詞,通常插入在句中或是句首來形容整句話。首先,yet 有「然而、儘管」的意思,表達轉折的語氣,和 but、however 等連接詞意思接近。如 And yet the camel managed to survive by developing this emergency food system, if you like: the hump. 然而駱駝卻能夠發展出這種賴以生存的緊急食物系統,或是你們喜歡叫:駝峰。另外 yet another 和 another 的語意非常相近,只是在語氣上 yet another 更為強烈,多了「強調」的意味。Yet 還有「再、還」的意思,通常和 again 詞搭配,表示數量增加或某事頻繁發生,如 the fat inside their humps helped them adapt yet again. 駝峰內的脂肪又再一次幫助他們適應環境。

  她說她會遲到,但還是準時到了。
