二、词义辨析：

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、参考例句：
