But 連接詞

But當連接詞時,意思是但是;不過;然而。同為連接詞的and和or是平行的語氣,可是but是轉折語氣喔!

 

But例句

▶ We highly appreciate the ideas and the effort you put into this proposal, but at this moment and time, we are unable to fulfill the proposed requests.

▶ My office hour is 3:00 to 5:00 pm every Wednesday, but if you are unable to meet at this time,we may set an appointment.

▶ I have to apologize that I can't join the conference call, but I don't want to miss any important points.

 

But例句單字補充

▶ appreciate 感激

▶ effort = hard work 辛勞心血

▶ proposal 提案

▶ fulfill 實現、達成

▶ request 要求

▶ conference call 電話會議

 

Nor 連接詞

Nor意思:也不(通常會和neither一起出現),下方舉例nor用法,以及易混淆的and、or用法:

1. 「A and B」A跟B都是,搭配both變成both A and B

2. 「A or B」不是A就是B,搭配either變成either A or B

3. 「A nor B」 不是A也不是B,搭配neither變成neither A nor B

 

Nor例句

▶ I didn't see the suppliers mail nor did I receive any call from him.

▶ Neither the marketing nor the sales team has received its proposed budget.

 

Though 連接詞

Though = even though = although
意思皆為雖然,though後面接的句子不能單獨存在,必須依附另一個句子。

▶ 和 but 一樣是轉折語氣,不過though語氣較弱

有了 though, even though, although 的句子,不能再用 but ,也不能用 however

 

Though例句 | Although例句

▶ Even though there isn't any concrete evidence, most staff buy into the rumors.

▶ The American branch office has eventually met the sales quota, although some challenges were encountered.

 

Though | Although 例句單字補充

▶ concrete (adj.)確實的;(n.)水泥

▶ evidence 證據

▶ buy into = believe 相信

▶ eventually = finally 最終

▶ quota 額度

▶ encounter 遭遇;遇到

 

Because 連接詞

▶ Because中文因為,作為連接詞連接的是有因果關係的句子

▶ 句子中有 because ,就不能再出現so、therefore

because用法有兩種:
❶ because + 主詞 + 動詞...
❷ because of + 名詞 = due to + 名詞

 

Because例句

▶ Everyone has to organize their offices because we have some guests coming tomorrow.

▶ We have to delay the flights because of the unexpected sandstorm.

= We have to delay the flights due to the unexpected sandstorm.

 

Because例句單字補充

▶ organize 整理;收納

▶ guest 客人

▶ due to = because of 因為;由於

▶ unexpected 出乎意料的

▶ sandstorm 沙塵暴

 

While 連接詞

▶ While意思是當...的時候,基本上等於when

▶ while在句首可以當作雖然;儘管 「另一方面...; 或是though, although 的替代品」

While例句

Unless 連接詞

▶ unless意思是除非;除了在...的情況下

▶ unless是從屬連接詞,也就是說unless後面的子句無法單獨存在,一定要跟前面的子句一起出現才能表達完整的意思。

▶ unless後面一定是加肯定句,因為他的意思有點像是「如果不...就...」,如果加否定句就變成雙重否定了。

 

Unless例句
