- Structure
- The overall structure of sentences that use 却 is something like this:
- Sentence ，(但是 +) Subj. + 却 ⋯⋯
- Normally the first clause above makes a statement, and then the second clause introduces something contrary, generally in the form of a negative comment.
- It's also important to point out that 却 is not a conjunction; it's an adverb. Practically speaking, this means that rather than joining two statements, it goes inside a statement (within the second clause). Specifically, it needs to come after the subject and before the verb. (Note that when you use a conjunction like 但是 it comes before the subject! 却 is different in this respect. Also, rather than replacing 但是, it can work with it to add emphasis.
- Also, sometimes the subject of the second clause will be omitted. If there is a subject, however, 却 definitely needs to come after it.
- A few examples to give you a better understanding of this:
- 我 是 你 最好 的 朋友 ，却 你 没 邀请 我 。
- 我 是 你 最好 的 朋友 ，你 却 没 邀请 我 。
- 我 是 你 最好 的 朋友 ，但是 你 却 没 邀请 我 。
- 他 家 很 有钱 ，却 他 从来 不 炫耀 。
- 他 家 很 有钱 ，他 却 从来 不 炫耀 。
- 他 家 很 有钱 ，但是 他 却 从来 不 炫耀 。
- Examples
- In the following examples, take note that 却 comes after the subject in each case, and that it can be used together with 但是.
- 他 是 老板 ，却 没有 人 听 他 的 。
- He's the boss, but nobody would listen to him.
- 他 的 学历 很 高 ，能力 却 很 一般 。
- He's very well-educated, but his ability is average.
- 他们 一见钟情 ， 却 没有 在 一起 。
- They fell in love at first sight, but they didn't end up with each other.
- 这 件 衣服 虽然 是 名牌 ，但是 质量 却 不 怎么样 。
- This piece of clothing is brandname, but the quality is not so good.
- 有些 人 智商 很 高 ，情商 却 很 低 。
- Some people have high IQ, but their EQ is, on the contrary, quite low.
