but ： yet — 184
前者是个连词，后者是个副词，有时却可通用作连词使用（注： yet 原来就是 and yet 的省略）。可是在口语里倒是说 and yet 的（注：近年来，新编的英语词典都已把 yet 列作连词来编。参见词目 180 和 183 ）。
例如：
I'm willing, but ／ yet unable. 我心有余而力不足。
I spoke to him politely, but/yet he wouldn't listen to me. 我好好同他讲，可他不听我的话。
Walt is young and capable, but ／ yet unwilling. 华尔特年富力强，就是不肯干。
比较：
I spoke to him politely, yet he wouldn't listen to my advice. 我好好同他讲，可他不听我的话。（ yet=and yet ）
I spoke to him politely, and yet he wouldn't listen to my ad-vice. 我好好同他讲，可他不听我的话。（口语里，常说 and yet ）
