My mother was sitting by the fire, but poorly in health, and very low in spirits.这里的BUT的用法如何？OXFORD词典里的关于BUT解释用在这里没一个着调的。
转折？没转折对象怎么转折……2楼的解释很接近，但希望陈述下BUT的这个用法详细点。

but是转折，带有非常浅的转折和递进义在里面，以至于几乎可以省略，或者使用while替代
首句描述母亲动作，次句是人物的状态
首句正常描述，次句揭示问题，引出下文。文学作品里的词语活用很常见，不用钻牛角尖

表转折

but在这里表示下面叙述的事情和上文不是一个主题，相当于前面说一件事情，以下又从另一个方面讨论。

可是,然而
She looks very young, but she is already in her 30's.
她看上去很年轻,可是她已三十多岁了。

表示转折的意思 你没理解句子的意思了，好好看看理解下
