yet的用法总结
1、yet用作连词时,与but一样也主要用于转折,意为“但是”“而”:

2、有时用在句首。如:
Yetthe house was cheerful. 但屋子里显得很欢快。
Yetits population has doubled. 但它的人口翻了一番。
3、yet有时可与并列连词and或but连用,构成习语and yet和butyet,且两者大致同义(均相当于表转折的but):

4、although不能与表示转折的but连用,但是却可以与yet连用。如:
Although we havemade some progress, yet we still have a long way to go.我们虽然取得了些进步,但还是远远不够的。
5、yet通常用于否定句或疑问句中,译为"还,尚,仍,已经"等。常常放于句末,否定词之后。
