    这组词都有“但是,可是,然而,而”的意思,其区别是:

    whereas表对比,一般可与while互换。

    nevertheless指尽管作出完全让步,也不会发生任何影响。

    but口语常用词,语气较强,泛指与前述情况相反。

    however表转折关系,语气稍弱于but,连接性也弱一些,因而常作插入语。

    still语气强,多用于肯定句或疑问句。指尽管作出让步,采取措施或表示反对,但情况仍然如故,无所改变。

    while表对比,一般可与whereas换用,但程度弱一些。

    yet常用于否定句,语气比still稍强。指不管作出多大努力或让步,仍达不到预期的结果。
