In fact, prices are not the most important factor in choosing schools especially if you have the chance to send your children in a relatively small university but of good quality.
这里的but的词性我有两种猜测:
第一个猜测:but是并列连词,并列前置修饰语relatively small和后置修饰语of good quality,但并列连词可以这样用吗,我在此之前从未见过可以这样并列的,这是我第一次见。
第二个猜测:but是转折副词,修饰介词of,但我翻过各大权威词典,里面but作为副词的含义都是“仅仅,只有”,并没有转折的意义。
请问but作为副词只有“仅仅,只有”的含义吗?
谢邀答
应该按照并列连词来看待。副词是不合句义的。
Collins: but, conjunction;You use “but” to introduce something which contrasts with what you have just said, or to introduce something which adds to what you have just said.
