\"\"<\/a>Hey, there!<\/em><\/p>\n

L\u00e1 no comecinho quando voc\u00ea come\u00e7ou a aprender ingl\u00eas aprendeu que a palavra but<\/em> quer dizer \u201cmas\u201d, como nos exemplos abaixo:<\/p>\n

It’s an old car, but it’s very reliable.<\/em> [\u00c9 um carro velho, mas muito confi\u00e1vel.]
\nThey rushed to the hospital, but they were too late.<\/em> [Eles correram at\u00e9 o hospital, mas chegaram tarde demais.]
\nWe’ve invited the boss, but she may decide not to come.<\/em> [Convidamos a chefe, mas pode ser que ela n\u00e3o venha.]
\nan expensive but extremely useful book<\/em> [um livro caro, mas extremamente \u00fatil]
\n‘Does he have any experience?’ ‘No, but he’s keen to learn.’<\/em> [\u2018Ele tem experi\u00eancia?\u2019 \u2018N\u00e3o, mas est\u00e1 bem disposto a aprender.\u2019]<\/p>\n

But<\/strong> tamb\u00e9m quer dizer “exceto”, “a n\u00e3o ser”<\/p>\n

What can we do but sit and wait?<\/em> [O que podemos fazer a n\u00e3o ser esperar?]
\nI had no choice but to accept the challenge.<\/em> [N\u00e3o tive escolha a n\u00e3o ser aceitar o desafio.]
\nNot a day goes by but I think of dear old Larry.<\/em> [N\u00e3o passa um dia sem que eu pense no velho Larry.]
\nAll was silent but for the sound of the wind in the trees.<\/em> [Estava tudo quieto a n\u00e3o ser pelo barulho do vento nas \u00e1rvores.]<\/p>\n

Mais alguns exemplos:<\/p>\n

I could come any day but Thursday.<\/em> [Eu poderia vir qualquer dia menos quinta-feira.]
\nThere’s no one here but me.<\/em> [N\u00e3o h\u00e1 ningu\u00e9m aqui a n\u00e3o ser eu.]
\nI could still see nothing but the spirals of desert dust.<\/em> [Eu s\u00f3 conseguia ver as espirais da poeira do deserto.]
\nHe was unable to swallow anything but liquids.<\/em> [Ele s\u00f3 conseguia engolir l\u00edquidos.]<\/p>\n

A express\u00e3o but for<\/strong> \u00e9 usada com o sentido de \u201cse n\u00e3o fosse por\u201d:<\/p>\n

But for these interruptions, the meeting would have finished earlier.<\/em> [Se n\u00e3o fosse pelas interrup\u00e7\u00f5es a reuni\u00e3o teria acabado mais cedo.]
\nThe score could have been higher but for some excellent goalkeeping by Simon.<\/em> [O placar poderia ter sido mais alto se n\u00e3o fosse pela excelente defesa do goleiro Simon.]
\nI might never have gotten to university but for you.<\/em> [Eu nunca teria ido para a universidade se n\u00e3o fosse por voc\u00ea.]<\/p>\n

But<\/strong> tamb\u00e9m quer dizer \u201csomente\u201d:<\/p>\n

This is but one example of what can happen when things go badly wrong.<\/em> [Este \u00e9 somente um exemplo de o que pode acontecer quando as coisas v\u00e3o muito mal.]
\nIt’s going to be difficult. Anyway, we can but try.<\/em> [Vai ser dif\u00edcil. Enfim, s\u00f3 podemos tentar.]
\nWe have relationships of many different sorts – with our children, our parents, our boss and our friends, to name but a few.<\/em> [Temos relacionamentos de v\u00e1rios tipos \u2013 com nossos filhos, nossos pais, nosso chefe e nossos amigos, s\u00f3 para citar alguns.]<\/p>\n
