英语是一种逻辑性很强的语言,文章段落的句子之间通常会通过连接词的使用来完成语义的衔接。因此,能够准确识别连接词,了解连接词的语义和用法,对句子的理解和逻辑关系的把握起着很重要的作用。下面我们就来看一下2016考研英语阅读中经常出现的一些连接词及其用法。
一.表明事件发生的时间顺序,如:
later(后来), next(接下来), then(然后),after that(之后), finally(最终), at last(最终), eventually(最终), meanwhile(与此同时), from now on(从现在起), at the same time(与此同时),in the end(最后),at once(马上),immediately(立即), in the meantime(与此同时), in the meanwhile(在这期间), recently(近日), soon(很快), during(在期间), nowadays(如今), lately最近, afterwards(后来), temporarily(暂时的), earlier(早些时候), now(如今), after a while(经过一段时间),previously(之前)。例句如下:
The stubborn student finally began to change his mind.
finally表明经过一番波折,固执的学生最终改变了主意。
Nowadays, people in many big cities are complaining about the heavy traffic.
nowadays表明事件发生的时间,是目前。
二.表明文章的组织结构:
1.排序,如:
first/firstly(第一), second/secondly(第二), third/thirdly(第三), then然后, finally最终, to begin with(首先), first of all(首先), in the first place(首先), last(最后), next(接下来), above all(首先), last but not least(最后但并非最不重要), first and most important(最重要的是)。
下面我们来看一篇小短文。
Spring is the best season to plant trees. Planting trees must conform to some correct steps. First, dig a hole which is big enough for the tree, but should not be too deep. Second, put a straight stick into the earth next to the hole. Then put the tree into the hole and tie it to the stick. After that, put the earth back in the hole again and push it hard with feet several times. At last water the young tree because water is important to the growth of young trees.
在这篇描述如何植树的小短文中,通过first, second, then, after that, at last表示先后次序的连词将各个句子连接起来,从而构成一篇连贯的文章。
2.举例,如:
for example(举个例子), for instance(比如), such as(例如), take ...for example(把……为例),except (for) (除了),to illustrate(来说明), an example/ instance of this is(举个例子)。例句如下:
For example, Mayun, CEO of Alibaba, online marketplace for global trade, revolutionized China’s internet ecology.
作文中,我们可以利用这些表示举例的连词进行举例说明,从而使观点更有说服力,文章的内容也更丰满。
3. 重申、重新叙述,如:
in other words/ to put it another way(换句话说), in fact(事实上),as a matter of fact(作为一个事实), that is(那就是), in simpler terms用更简单的语言谈一谈, let me put it this way(让我这么说吧),namely(也就是说),or rather(更确切地说)。例句如下:
In other words, we should better use the resources you have.
4. 总结,如:
on the whole(从总体上看), in conclusion(总之), in a word(总之), to sum up(综上所述), in brief(总之), in summary(综上所述), to conclude(总而言之), to summarize(总结), in short(简而言之),it amounts to this(这等同于), what I have been saying is this(总而言之)。例句如下:
In conclusion, it is obvious that innovation is of great significance in our personal growth and the whole society.
在文章段落结尾或是结尾段落,作者为了总结概括所说的内容,通常会使用总结句,而这些连词是识别这些总结句最有效的方法。
以上简单总结了英语中表示事件发生顺序和文章组织结构的常见连接词的用法。这些连词在我们阅读文章时经常出现,准确识别、清楚其含义并了解其功能对阅读理解帮助很大,希望大家在平时学习中要注意积累和总结。
