編輯/ Zoe Li

不曉得大家看完Part1之後是不是收穫滿滿?今天的Part 2也絕對不會讓各位失望!

希望讀者們都有在寫作時實際運用上這些單字,面對英文作文時也不再那麼緊張了。

 

Time 時間先後順序

用法:表示時間軸中事件的先後發生順序

經常被運用在敘述文中,增強自己文章說故事的邏輯性,

同時讀者也能夠教快速地了解你的文章

 

同時地

when/ while / during /simultaneously / Meanwhile, / In the meantime, 

Students are not allowed to use their phones during the exam.

在考試期間,學生不被允許使用手機。

You have to cope with plenty of incidents simultaneously while driving.

在開車時,你必須要同時應對許多突發狀況。

I just stepped out the office. In a meantime, it started to rain cats and dogs.

我踏出辦公室的同時,就下起了傾盆大雨。

 

立即、馬上

immediately / soon

You should do the laundry immediately.

你應該馬上去洗衣服。

 

緊接著地、接下來

later / after / afterwards / next / following / then /subsequently

The criminal was arrested and subsequently convicted on drug trafficking.

那個犯人一被逮補就馬上承認了他走私毒品的罪刑。

 

表示頻率

always 總是 / usually 經常 / often常常 / sometimes 有時 /

seldom 很少 / never 從不 / now , until now / so far 現在、直到現在

We opened a restaurant last month. So far, we have made NTD $50,000.

我們上個月開了一間餐廳。到目前為止我們賺了五萬元。

 

Exemplification or Illustration 舉例說明

用法:通常放在句首。當你提出一個概念後,

便可運用這類連接詞帶出實際例子來補充說明。

小編認為這個分類非常適合用於考試作文,當你想不到更多論點時,

便可以利用親身經驗來補充 (更可以加長文章長度呢!)

 

舉例來說

to illustrate  / to demonstrate, / For instance, / For example, 

I think Jean is a good teacher. To illustrate, I have several reasons.

我認為Jean是一個好老師。 為了說明,我有幾點原因。

 

具體地說

Specifically, / To be more specific, 

Specifically, the professor recommended students to participate in public issues.

具體來說,那位教授建議學生們參與公眾議題。

 

Summary and Conclusion 摘要總結

用法:通常直接放置在結論句句首。可用於各段落小節中,或是整篇文長的結尾。

讀者們要記得在文章的最末段,一定要附上結論句,

不僅能代表文章的完結,也能再次重申文章的重點。

 

總結以上

In sum, / To sum up, /  In conclusion, / To conclude

In conclusion, I do not agree with the idea that teachers are always right.

總結來說,我不同意「老師永遠是對的」這個論點

 

簡單來說

To summarize, / In brief, / In short, /  In summary, 

In short, John had a successful presentation.

簡單來說,John的報告很成功。

 

Comparison 比較語氣

用法:可置於句首或放在動詞後。用於描述同樣地兩個論點。

 

同樣地

in the same way / by the same token / similarly /

in like manner / likewise / in similar fashion 

By the same token, it would be pointless to go to school

if you do not pay attention to the  lecturer.

同樣地,如果你上課不認真聽老師講課,上學是沒有意義的。

Similarly, I like uncle Bob as you do.

同樣地,我跟你一樣愛Bob叔叔。

 

那麼今天就介紹到這邊啦,連接詞整理也終於完結了!

如果對於他們的用法還是不太熟悉,或是不知道怎麼使用才是最正確的話,

也可以跟Engoo上的老師們一起練習,希望讀者們未來在寫英文作文時,

都能越來越順利、越來越進步喔!
