I ____ don't believe in ghosts even after my experience at the Rose Inn.
A. already B. yet C. no longer D. still (Nelson, 350B)
我承认答案 D 是正确的。但是我不明白，为什么不可以选 B(yet)。yet 不是也可以作
still less/let alone
“还”解吗？例如：
Go at once while there is yet time. (ALD) 赶快去,趁还有时间。
Be thankful you are yet alive. (ELD) 你还活着,真是谢天谢地。
不错,有时 yet 在词义上接近于 still。但是 yet 与 still 在句中的位置是不同的。yet 一般取句尾或句中位置,still 则取句中位置:
I can see him yet.
I can still see him. (CGEL) 我还能看到他。
在否定句中, still 可以位于否定结构之前, 而且不处于否定范围之内, 而 yet 却不是这样。在上面的考题中不能选 yet 的原因也即在于此。
I still haven't heard from her.

I still don't understand. (MED) 我还是不明白。
