1. yet 用作连词时，与 but 一样也主要用于转折，意为 “但是”“而”

• I have failed, yet I shall try again. 我失败了，但我还要尝试。

• The judge was stern, yet completely fair. 法官很严峻，却完全公正。

• They are the same, yet not the same. 它们又一样，又不一样。

• It is strange, yet it is true. 那真是怪事，然而却是事实。

• I’ve been away only for three years, yet I can hardly recognize my hometown.我仅在外三年，可我几乎认不出我自己的故乡了。

• He said he was our friend, yet he wouldn’t help us. 他说他是我们的朋友，但却不肯帮助我们。

2. 有时用在句首。如：

• Yet the house was cheerful. 但屋子里显得很欢快。

• Yet its 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(可是，然而) 和 but yet(但还是) 如：

• He’s not really nice-looking, and yet he has enormous charm. 他并不十分好看，可是他很有魅力。

• She’s a funny girl, but yet you can’t help liking her. 她是一个奇怪的姑娘，但你禁不住会喜欢她。

• I gave him ten pounds (and) yet he was not satisfied. 我给了他十镑但他仍不满足。

• She’s vain and foolish, and yet people like her. 她很虚荣愚蠢，但人们却喜欢她。

• She drove very fast to the airport, but [yet, and yet, but yet] she missed the plane.她开快车去机场，可还是误了飞机。

4、根据英语习惯，although 不能与连词 but 搭配使用，但是 although 可以与 yet 搭配连用（此时的 yet 可视为副词）。如：

• Although we are poor, yet we are happy. 尽管我们穷，但我们很快活。

• Although we have made 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。
