一、作形容詞使用
1.still作為形容詞時(shí),指沒(méi)有運(yùn)動(dòng)或動(dòng)作的狀態(tài),相當(dāng)于motionless,常譯為“靜止的”、“不動(dòng)的”.例句：
(1) The doctor asked me to keep still.醫(yī)生叫我不要?jiǎng)?
(2) The old woman sat still for about an hour.那個(gè)老婦人一動(dòng)不動(dòng),坐了大約一個(gè)小時(shí).
(3) Her hands were never still.她的雙手從來(lái)不停歇.
2.still還可以指完全沒(méi)有聲響的,常譯為“寧?kù)o的”、“平靜的”、“寂靜的”.例句：
(1) How still everything is!一切是多么寂靜啊!
(2) The forest was very still.森林里非常寂靜.
(3) The room was still at the end of the speech.演講過(guò)后,室內(nèi)一片寂靜.
與calm不同的是,still常用于指生理上的安靜,而calm則表示內(nèi)在的平靜狀態(tài),指人沒(méi)有不安寧的表現(xiàn)或巨大的激動(dòng).例句：
(4) Even after his wife died he was calm.盡管他妻子死了,他仍很鎮(zhèn)靜.
(5) The night was very still.那天晚上很寧?kù)o.
二、作副詞使用
1.still作副詞使用時(shí),含有“仍舊”、“還”之意,表示某事仍在繼續(xù),多用于肯定句或疑問(wèn)句之中.例句：
(1) My mother is still cooking.我媽媽還在做飯.
(2) Her arm still hurts.她的胳膊還在痛.
(3) In spite of his shortcomings,the girl still loved him.盡管他有缺點(diǎn),那個(gè)女孩仍然愛(ài)他.
(4) Are you still working there?你還在那里工作嗎?
(5) Will you still go there tomorrow?明天你還會(huì)去那兒?jiǎn)?
試比較：
(6) He still stands.（副詞） 他仍舊站著.
(7) Stand still.（形容詞） 站好別動(dòng).
still有時(shí)也可用于否定句中,表示某事尚未完成或發(fā)生,此時(shí),它要放于否定的助動(dòng)詞之前（在否定句中常用yet）.例句：
(8) She still hasn't come back.她還沒(méi)有回來(lái).
(9) I still don't understand.我仍舊不明白.
(10) The bus hasn't arrived yet.汽車(chē)還沒(méi)有到達(dá).
2.still還可以用來(lái)修飾比較級(jí),相當(dāng)于even,可譯為“更”、“還要”、“甚”.例句：
(1) We must study still harder.我們必須更加努力地學(xué)習(xí).
(2) It was cold yesterday,but today it is still colder.昨天天氣很冷,可今天卻更冷.
(3) Her sister is still taller.她妹妹個(gè)子還要高.
(4) They came still earlier.他們來(lái)得更早.
三、作連詞使用
still作為連詞時(shí)含有“盡管如此,可還是要”、“然而”、“不過(guò)”之意.例句：
(1) Although we are very tired,still we shall work.雖然我們很累,但我們還將工作.
(2) She was thirsty,still she wouldn't drink.她雖然渴了,但仍不喝東西.
(3) I like cats; still I don't care to own one.我雖然喜歡貓,但不愿意養(yǎng)貓.
(4) This is a very unpleasant affair.Still,we can't change it.這是件很不愉快的事,但是我們無(wú)法改變它.
此外,still可以與more連用,相當(dāng)于much more,常譯“至于……更不必說(shuō)”.例句：
She can speak English,still more Japanese.她連英語(yǔ)都會(huì)說(shuō),日語(yǔ)更不在話(huà)下.
still還可以和less連用,多用于否定句之后,相當(dāng)于much less,常譯為“更何況”、“更不用說(shuō)”.例句：
I didn't even see her,still less speak to her.我見(jiàn)也沒(méi)有見(jiàn)到她,更不用說(shuō)和她說(shuō)話(huà)了.
