这组词都有“但是,可是,然而,而”的意思,其区别是:
whereas表对比,一般可与while互换。
nevertheless指尽管作出完全让步,也不会发生任何影响。
but口语常用词,语气较强,泛指与前述情况相反。
however表转折关系,语气稍弱于but,连接性也弱一些,因而常作插入语。
still语气强,多用于肯定句或疑问句。指尽管作出让步,采取措施或表示反对,但情况仍然如故,无所改变。
while表对比,一般可与whereas换用,但程度弱一些。
yet常用于否定句,语气比still稍强。指不管作出多大努力或让步,仍达不到预期的结果。

古英语中的 hwile,表示“一段时间的空间”,源自原始日耳曼语的 hwil(也源自古撒克逊语的 hwil,古弗里斯兰语的 hwile,古高地德语的 hwila,德语的 Weile,哥特语的 hveila,“一段时间的空间,一段时间”),最初的意思是“休息”(类似于古诺尔斯语的 hvila “床”, hvild “休息”),源自 PIE 的 *kwi-lo-,是 *kweie- “休息,安静”的后缀形式。在日耳曼语中,“休息的时期”变成了“一段时间的意思”。
现在在除了 time 之外的公式构造中基本上被取代。中古英语中“短时间内做某事”的意义现在只在 worthwhile 和诸如 worth (one's) while 的短语中保留。作为连词,“在...期间; 只要”(古英语晚期),它代表古英语的 þa hwile þe,字面意思是“那时候”。whiles 的形式可追溯到13世纪初; whilst 可追溯到14世纪末,其中的非词源性 -st 如 amongst, amidst。SERVICE_ while-you-wait 可追溯到1911年。
