轉折詞的的用處大公開
轉折詞我們在英文中也用的不少了,接下來,小編給大家準備了,歡迎大家參考與借鑑。
“They are wasting resources, for example, time, energy and money.”
上面這句話不錯,只是轉折詞“for example”不妥當;應該這樣:
“They are wasting resources. For example, they use too much time, energy and money.”
不然就要換一換轉折詞,改用“such as”或“like”:
“They are wasting resources, such as or like time, energy and money.”
不管任何語言,轉折詞transitional words都扮演著一個重要角色,就是:承先啟後,使句子緊湊,段落相吸,對文章結構,有良性作用。但是有些人幾乎沒有採用轉折詞的習慣,結果文句鬆散,上下文七零八亂,應該避免。
現在把主要轉折詞,分類列下,供大家參考。
