三个最常用的连词
英语中有许多连词。
三个最重要的连词是and, but和or。
其中and用来表示相似的想法:

你也可以用“and”来连接两个具有相同词性的单词(意思是,两个名词,两个副词,两个形容词,两个动词等):
“Please move to the exit calmly and quietly.”“John had an orange and a hot dog for lunch.”“I feel hot and tired.”
In the above sentences, the words joined by “and” are similar. To present contrasting concepts together, the conjunction “but” is commonly used:
在上述句子中,由“and”连接的单词是相似的。
有时候为了把对比的概念放在一起,也常用连词“but”:
“The train was clean but crowded.”“The actor was handsome but untalented.”
连词“and”和“but”也用来连接相似或相反的词、短语和从句,而不仅仅是单个形容词、副词和名词:
“We went to the store and then to a movie.”“John got a promotion but didn't get a raise.”
