yet的用法總結
1、yet用作連詞時,與but一樣也主要用於轉折,意為「但是」「而」:
I have failed, yet I shall try again. 我失敗了,但我還要嘗試。
The judge was stern, yet completely fair. 法官很嚴峻,卻完全公正。
They are the same, yet not the same. 它們又一樣,又不一樣。
It is strange, yet it is true. 那真是怪事,然而卻是事實。
2、有時用在句首。如:
Yet the house was cheerful. 但屋子裡顯得很歡快。
Yet its population has doubled. 但它的人口翻了一番。
3、yet有時可與並列連詞and或but連用,構成習語and yet和but yet,且兩者大致同義(均相當於錶轉折的but):
I gave him ten pounds (and) yet he was not satisfied. 我給了他十鎊但他仍不滿足。
She’s vain and foolish, and yet people like her. 她很虛榮愚蠢,但人們卻喜歡她。
She drove very fast to the airport, but yet she missed the plane. 她開快車去機場,可還是誤了飛機。
4、although不能與表示轉折的but連用,但是卻可以與yet連用。如:
Although we have made some progress, yet we still have a long way to go. 我們雖然取得了些進步,但還是遠遠不夠的。
5、yet通常用於否定句或疑問句中,譯為"還,尚,仍,已經"等。常常放於句末,否定詞之後。
1)yet大多用於完成時態中。例句:
(1)Have you heard from him yet?你收到他的信了嗎?
(2)Has he come yet?No,not yet.他已經來了嗎?不,還沒有。
2)yet也可以用於一般現在時。例句:
(1)He is not yet here.他還未到。
(2)Is the tea cold yet?茶涼了嗎?
請比較下面兩個例子:
Is she here yet?(=Has she arrived?)她已經到了嗎?
Is she still here?(=Hasn't she gone yet?)她還在這裡嗎?
6)與yet有關的短語。
1)as yet意思為"到那時,迄今",多用於否定句中。例句:
As yet,he had not become famous.那時,他還沒有出名。
2)not...nor yet譯為"不.也不"。例句:
I do not like red nor yet yellow.我不喜歡紅色,也不喜歡黃色
7、yet還可以用於肯定句中,譯為"還,仍然",相當於still,在口語中常用still。例句:
1)She is yet a chil.她還是個孩子。
2)I have yet much to do.我還有許多事情要做。
8、yet與比較級和once,again等連用,相當於still或even,譯為"更"和"再"。yet與最高級連用,譯為"到目前(或當時)為止(最.)"。例句:
1)You must work yet harder.你工作還要更努力。
2)Say it yet once more,please.請再說一次。
3)This is the biggest lake yet discovered.這是目前為止已發現的最大的湖泊。
9、yet可以表示將來還有可能發生的事。例句:

2)It may yet succeed.它遲早會成功的。
10、yet也可以作連詞,譯為"可是"、"然而"。例句:
1)He worked hard,yet he failed.他工作努力,可是失敗了。
2)The room is small,yet very comfortable.房間小,但非常舒適。
yet與not連用,譯為"仍不,也不"。例句:
She didn't come,not telephone yet.她沒來,電話也沒有。
11、yet用於現在完成時態中與already, just, never, ever的區別

I haven’t found my ruler yet.

2)already意思是「已經」

②也可用於疑問句,表示期望得到肯定的回答或表示驚異,此時already常放在句末。
