still 的用法:
一、作形容詞使用
1.still作為形容詞時,指沒有運動或動作的狀態(tài),相當于motionless,常譯為“靜止的”、“不動的”.例句：
(1) The doctor asked me to keep still.醫(yī)生叫我不要動.
(2) The old woman sat still for about an hour.那個老婦人一動不動,坐了大約一個小時.
(3) Her hands were never still.她的雙手從來不停歇.
2.still還可以指完全沒有聲響的,常譯為“寧靜的”、“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),指人沒有不安寧的表現(xiàn)或巨大的激動.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.那天晚上很寧靜.
二、作副詞使用

(3) In spite of his shortcomings,the girl still loved him.盡管他有缺點,那個女孩仍然愛他.
(4) Are you still working there?你還在那里工作嗎?
(5) Will you still go there tomorrow?明天你還會去那兒嗎?
試比較：
(6) He still stands.（副詞） 他仍舊站著.
(7) Stand still.（形容詞） 站好別動.
still有時也可用于否定句中,表示某事尚未完成或發(fā)生,此時,它要放于否定的助動詞之前（在否定句中常用yet）.例句：
(8) She still hasn't come back.她還沒有回來.
(9) I still don't understand.我仍舊不明白.
(10) The bus hasn't arrived yet.汽車還沒有到達.

(3) Her sister is still taller.她妹妹個子還要高.

三、作連詞使用
still作為連詞時含有“盡管如此,可還是要”、“然而”、“不過”之意.例句：
