首先来看下面这个问题
句子1，on the contrary, 句子2
这个结构下句子1和句子2是什么对应关系呢？（上过课的同学们应该知道我们句子中的对应关系就两种，要么同义对应，要么反义对应）
on the contrary，相反，句子1和句子2当然是取反啊！
事实真的是这样吗？
我们来一起补充一个iaejhuAaQN中文句子：
他不傻，相反，他很_______.
A. 傻 B. 聪明
这个中文句子的答案是？
当然是B. 聪明，选A的同学中文水平有待提高哈！
不傻和聪明是什么对应？
同义对应！
因此，on the contrary (相反)在连接句子的时候两个句子整体上是递进关系，后面的句子是对前面句子进行肯定，要取同！（类似on the contrary用法的词还有rather, instead）
来，我们来练一下这几道题

D. adroit

Blank (i) Blank (ii) Blank (iii)
A. unprecedented D. arousal G. tradition
B. understandable E. torpor H. breakthrough
C. perplexing F. conservatism I. pitfall
【参考答案： BDH】
相信根据这几道题，大家已经对on the contrary连接两个句子的用原由网法有所了解啦。那么再补充问大家一个问题：
句子1 but on the contrary 句子2这个结构下，我们的句子1和句子2是什么关系呢？
这个结构下由于有but这个取反信号词的存在，两个句子整体是反义对应的。
我们来一起做几道相关的练习题吧
The employee had a reputation for fractiousness, but his coworkers found him to be, on the contrary, quite ______.
A. insightful
B. affable
C. sagacious
D. capable
E. easygoing
F. productive
【参考答案：BE】
Although the political science professor’s paper is quite (i)原由网______ about the government’s problems, suggesting that they are part of a (ii)______ process, the prognosis for the government is, on the contrary, actually quite auspicious.
Blank (i) Blank (ii)
A. straightforward D. degenerative
B. circuitous E. comprehensive
C. pessimistic F. spontaneous
【参考答案：CD】
总结一下，on the contrary这类词在没有其他取反逻辑信号词时，是加强句子语气，前后两个句子整体是同义对应的。但on the contrary这类词与其他取反逻辑信号词连用时，句子与句子之间的逻辑关系是以其他取反逻辑词的功能为主的。
祝大家备考顺利，早日杀G成功！
