过渡英语单词

英语写作中的过渡词

汉语文章的组织靠的是意合，即句子与句子之间的联系靠的是句子意义的本身，句子的连接很少使用太多的连接词;而英语文章的组织靠的是形合，句子的连接离不开过渡词。下面是我为大家搜索整理的关于英语写作中的过渡词，供参考阅读，希望对你有所帮助!想了解更多相关信息请持续关注我们应届毕业生培训网!

过渡词是一种关系指引词，其作用是连接上下文，使文章保持连贯、自然、通顺。过渡词可以用于句子与句子之间的连接，还可以用于段落与段落之间的连接。当句子进入语段、语段进入语篇时，往往需要用一些连接手段把句子和句子、语段和语段，有时甚至是段落与段落连接起来，使它们之间建立起各种各样的语义关系，并使整个语篇在意义上具有连贯性。根据章振邦的划分，英语的衔接手段主要分为三大类：过渡词衔接、词汇纽带和语法照应。我们在此主要讨论过渡词连接。

过渡词的使用是保证段落或文章连贯的重要手段之一，同时也是英语写作中应注意的一个关键问题。本德(Bander)曾在其著作《美国英语修辞》(American English Rhetoric)中高度概括了写作中使用过渡词的重要性，认为“有两个技巧比学任何其它的更能增强英语写作技能：其一是使用过渡连接词;其二是使用从属关系”。

夸克(Quirk)等人把过渡词分为13大类：(1)列举类;(2)强势类;(3) 对等类;(4) 转折类;(5) 总结类;(6) 同位类;(7)结果类;(8)推论类;(9)重述类;(10)替换类;(11)对立类;(12)让步类;(13)时间转换类。蔡基刚将过渡词分为11类：举例、比较、对照、让步、原因、结果、强调、递进、结论、时间和空间。

我们立足于教学，从方便实用的角度出发，综合以上学者的成果，将过渡词按语义划分为以下最常见的几种类型：(一)表示添加信息：and， also， too， furthermore，besides， moreover， in addition， what is more等;( 二) 表示因果关系：because， for， for this reason， because of， since， as a result， thus，therefore， so， consequently， of course， accordingly等;( 三) 表示文章意义的转折或对比：although， however， on the contrary， still， but，otherwise， despite， nevertheless， though， in fact， on the other hand， asa matter of fact等;(四)表示文章中事件发生的时空顺序：first，second， third， after that， meanwhile， then， before， next， formerly， later，finally， in the end， at last等;( 五) 表示列举：firstly， secondly， forone thing…for another， first of all， to begin with， then， last等;(六)表示举例、解释：for example， for instance， that is， namely， to illustrate等;(七)表示总结：in short， to sum up， in conclusion， briefly， on thewhole， to conclude， to summarize等。下面我们逐一进行说明。

(一)表示添加，进一步说明或强调的过渡词

常用词：besides 此外，furthermore 此外，additionally 此外，inaddition 此外，in particular 特别地，moreover 此外，what is more 另外。例如：

① Despite/In spite of all the heartaches and the difficulties， acollege education is still our best passport to success.

On the other hand/Conversely， if we lacked laws， then societywould be disorderly and violent.

First/First of all/In the first place， we must understand thatmoney can’t buy happiness. Don’t be a slave to it. Second， weshould spend time with friends and family. And third， we should findtime to listen to the birds sing， and see the beautiful scenery.

(六)常用表示举例解释的过渡词

常用的'表示举例的过渡词语有：for example 举例，namely(等于“that is”)即，这就是说，for instance 举例，a case in point恰当的例子。例如：

① The means of production， namely， factories， mines and landshould be improved.

③ As has been noted/As I have said， country life is morebeneficial than city life.

过渡词使上下文的连接自然、紧凑，使文章整体具有结构上的粘着性和意义上的连贯性。虽然过渡词的使用并不是文章连贯的唯一手段，但确实是一种十分重要和有效的手段。这部分需要学生平时通过大量的句子练习掌握好各种纷繁的过渡词的使用，为自己的写作锦上添花。

此外还有一些形容词短语、同位语从句等表达因果关系的结构和陈述套语有时也可作为过渡词使用。如：

… Attribute to … (原因) [形容词短语](原因)… which in turn (结果)

Account for … (原因)

(结果) lie in the fact that (原因)

(结果) result from (原因)

It is precisely because… (原因) that (结果)… [强调结构](原因) be responsible for (结果)

It’s well known to us that ...

As is known to us， ...

This is a topic that is being widely talked about.

From the graph (table， chart) listed above， it can be seen that ...

例如：

① They give rise to unfair competition， which in turn throwsoriginal businesses into a commercial panic.

② As is well known to us， it is important for the students to knowthe world outside campus.

③ The reason for this is obvious. Nowadays. the society ischanging and developing rapidly. and the campus is no longeran “ivory tower”. As college students. we must get in touch withthe world outside the campus. Only in this way can we adaptourselves to the society quickly after we graduate.

诸如此类的结构还有很多，比如表达数量、优点、缺点、重要、必要、困难、方便、可能、措施、变化、事实、现状、比较、看法、结论，如As the proverb says… 正如谚语所言，Everybodyknows that… 每个人都知道，Generally speaking， … 一般说来，It isknown to us that… 众所周知，It is true that… 的确，Many people aremuch interested in the question that… 许多人都对……感兴趣，Thereis no doubt that… 毫无疑问，等等。总之，过渡词纷繁复杂，只有在学习中慢慢摸索，慢慢积累，才能切实地提高英语写作水平。
