H
2、owever(Nevertheless/Nonetheless), B 句. 而though 虽然是 副词 ，不过though 的用法却是常置于句末，即 A 句. B 句, though.如：The return is uncertain, but/yet the investment is worth a try.The return is uncertain. However, the investment is worth a try.Nevertheless, the investment is worth a try. Nonetheless, the investment is w
3、orth a try.The return is uncertain. The investment is worth a try, though.(2) 表示 “对比”含义的“转折 ”： while, whereas by(in) contrast, on the other hand, in comparison, conversely 首先，第组的两个词都是 连词 ，表示含有“对比”的转折。其用法应该是：A 句，while/ whereas B 句. 如：American consumers prefer white eggs, while/ whereas British buyers

5、gs. American consumers prefer white eggs. On the other hand, British buyers like brown eggs.American consumers prefer white eggs. In comparison, British buyers like brown eggs.可见，上面“对比”的含义是两个事物在一个方面上的对比。(3) 表示“相反”含义的“转折 ”： on the contrary, instead以上的短语或词都是 副词性 的，表示含有“相反”的转折。其用法应该是：A 句. On the contrary( Instead), B 句.如：He isnt poor. On the contrary, he is a millionaire. Instead, he is a millionaire.显然，上面所说的“相反”的含义是一个事物的两个相反的方面。
