说明

nevertheless/however

核心问题

neverthelesshowever 都可用作副词,并且都可译作“然而”,“但是”,那么,它们有无区别呢?

  1. It was a cold, rainy day. Nevertheless, more people came than we had expected. 那是一个寒冷的雨天。虽然如此,来的人比我们预料的要多。

  2. He had not slept that night. Nevertheless, he led the rally with his usual vigour... 那天晚上他没有睡觉,然而他依然精神十足地主持公众大会……

  3. Sales are poor this month. There may, however, be an increase before Christmas. 这个月的销售量很不理想。不过,圣诞节之前也许会增长。

  4. The company's profits have fallen slightly. However, this is not a serious problem. 公司的盈利略微下滑,然而这不算是什么严重问题。
