文章中涉及到了BUT是非常重要的小词,容易听漏,我们需要重点注意。下面将为考生们分析一个小词——BUT,它在听力中非常容易被忽略,因此需要我们加倍小心。 重要性 转折 But在句子中的出现频率非常高,在大多数情况下用作并列连词连接,连接两个并列的分句或两个并列的成分,在意思上BUT表示转折,翻译为“但是”,“可是”。如: A real find for our patients has been the shock-absorbing shoe insert. A cheap but very effective solution. (剑3 Test1 Section4后面缩写为:3-1-4) Sometimes there's simple fix such as changing the guy at the top. … But a more ambitious approach … would be to alter … (5-4-3) 这边表示的是含义的转折,说话的侧重点往往是放在BUT的后面。因此往往会是听力中的考点,我们需要在听力过程中留意去听取。 What does Karin think the #pany will do? A. Look for private investors B. Accept a takeover offer C. Issue some new shares Audio Scripts: … They have the choice of accepting the very favorable terms that another #pany … have given them to buy them out. … Or they could … offer some new shares if they wanted. But I … expect they will start trying to find individuals who'd be prepared to back them with some of the capital they need. (5-4-3) 此题我们会发现A,B,C都有提及,并且都做了同义词互换,因此在听力中有较大的负担。不过BUT的出现却能够帮助我们解题。这个词语后面就是答案,这样我们就很快的定位到了答案句。当然也可以通过排除法来做题,也就是but前面都是错的,排除B和C同样也能很快知道答案A。 还有一种情况是出现在固定短语not only … but also … 中,这是一组关联并列连词,表示其所连接的成份在意义上后一项对前一项的补充和引申,但侧重点在后一项上,意思是“不但……而且……”。如, Not only is he interested in the subject but also all his students are beginning to show interested in it. 有时候,but和also可以被分隔使用,如: Of course they bring different ideas, but it's also their attitudes … (7-1-3) 个别时候甚至可以将also省略,不过意思还是一样的 During times of change they should be thinking not only about the strain on their staff but take time out to think of themselves. (7-1-3) 此时意义类似于and,因此前后两句都很重要,都有可能是考点,需要同等注意。
