而 ér (Conjunction) Links two verb phrases. Often rendered literally as “and
under these conditions,” ér is often functionally equivalent to “and,” but
never links nouns or noun phrases. (The force of ér may sometimes be
captured by adding
“-ing” to the verb in the first phrase and resuming the subject before the
second phrase, though that is not appropriate in this case.) At times, ér
carries a sense of “contrary to expectations,” which pertains to its first
three instances in this passage, and most emphatically to the third. [1];
