不过 (1) [cannot be better] ——用在形容词性的词组或双音形容词后面,表示程度很高 eg.那就再好不过了。 (2) [but;however;only] ——作连词,表示转折, eg.病人精神还不错,不过胃口还不好。 (3) [only;just;merely;nothing but;no more than]∶副词,指明范围;只,仅仅 eg.不过是个小孩子。 可是 (1) [but]——连接分句、句子或段落,表示转折关系,常和前面的“虽然”相呼应;先由“虽然”引出一层意思,后用“可是”一转,引出相反或不一致的意思。相当于“但是” eg.他虽然有病,可是仍继续工作. (2) [yet;however;nevertheless]∶然而 eg.可是他错了。 (3) [really;truly;indeed]∶真是;实在是; eg.小王长的又好又有钱,可是百里挑一。 (4) [whether;whether or not;if]∶是否 eg.小红最近总偷着乐,不知道可是恋爱了。 但是 [but;yet;however] 通常用在后半句,表示转折的语气;可是 eg.虽然困难很多,但是他一点也不怕。
