不过/不過 búguò — 表示轻微的转折，比"但是"更随意

义项

1. 1

   表示轻微的转折，比"但是"更随意

   过, to exceed. 不过 softens what follows into a small "except that" rather than a real reversal: it adds a minor reservation onto an otherwise settled sentence, where 但是 can carry a full change of direction. A sentence can even open with 不过 the way English opens one with "still" or "though".

   conjunction
2. 2

   用在数量或程度前面，表示不超过这个范围

   adverb

   Literally "not exceeding": 不过是 says a thing is no more than what follows — 他不过是个学生, he is just a student, nothing grander — the same 过 that makes the conjunction, now measuring a quantity instead of a clause.
