「連接詞」一直是學英文時讓分數提高、表達更自然、寫作更有層次的祕密武器🖊️。很多人明明單字文法都會,但一遇到要連接兩個想法、要轉折或講原因時,就會突然卡住。

本文整理了我留學 10 年一路實戰用到✈️、且馬上能派上用場的 71 個連接詞,包含轉折、新增想法、強調、比較、前提和舉例等等

不論你是準備考試還是工作需要📝,只要把這些連接詞學起來,馬上就能讓你的分數提高、表達更專業!



轉折

但是/然而

你是不是常常只會用連接詞 but 來說「但是」?當然 but 並不是錯誤的選擇,但如果每次都只用這個單字,口說或寫作時就會有點單調、不夠厲害。

小補充:在正式情境中,如學術英文寫作,建議不要用 but 作為開頭

替代 but 的連接詞


連接詞中文使用位置例句
Yet然而、但是句中、句首He studied hard, yet still failed the test.

However然而、但是句中、句首 I wanted to buy those shoes. However, they were too expensive.

Nonetheless然而、但是句首She was tired. Nonetheless, she still finished her work.

她很累,但還是把工作完成了💤


小撇步:除了 yet 「放句中」不需要在後面逗點之外,其他表達「然而、但是」時通常會加個逗點

▸ Yet,

▸However,…/ … however,…

▸Nonetheless,…

▸ Nevertheless,…


儘管/雖然
