Some of us get dipped in flat, some in satin, some in gloss. But every once in a while you find someone who's iridescent, and when you do, nothing will ever compare.
——Flipped
有些人沦为平庸浅薄,金玉其外,而败絮其中。可不经意间,有一天你会遇到一个彩虹般绚丽的人,从此以后,其他人就不过是匆匆浮云。
——《怦然心动》

二、词义辨析:有哪些连词词汇含有转折的意思
but, however, still, yet, nevertheless, while, whereas
这些连词或副词均含“但是,可是,然而,而”之意。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。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。nevertheless指尽管作出完全让步,也不会发生任何影响。while表对比,一般可与whereas换用,但程度弱一些。whereas表对比,一般可与while互换。
三、你知道while和哪些词更搭吗?
for a while
ad. 暂时
once in a while
adv.偶尔
while away
虚度,蹉跎
