连接词与逻辑
写英⽂论⽂最常见的⼀个⽑病就是⽂章的逻辑不清楚。解决的⽅法有:
1)句⼦上下要有连贯,不能让句⼦之间独⽴
常见的连接词语有,
also, in addition, afterwards, moreover, Furthermore, further,
However, although, unlike, in contrast, Unfortunately,
Similarly, alternatively, parallel results, Compared with other results,
In order to, despite, For example
consequently, thus, therefore...
⽤好这些连接词,能够使观点表达得有层次,更加明确。
⽐如,如果叙述有时间顺序的事件或者⽂献,
最早的⽂献可⽤AA advocated it for the fifirst time.
接下来,可⽤Then BB further demonstrated that..
再接下来,可⽤Afterwards, CC..
如果还有,可⽤More recent studies by DD..
如果叙述两种观点,要把它们截然分开
AA put forward that........ In contrast, BB believe
or Unlike AA, BB suggest…
or On the contrary (表明前⾯的观点错误,如果只是表明两种对⽴的观点,⽤in contrast),BB..
如果两种观点相近,可⽤
AA suggest ….. Similarly (alternatively), BB..
Or Also, BB…
or BB also does …
表⽰因果或者前后关系,可⽤ Consequently, therefore, as a result,
表明递进关系,可⽤furthermore, further, moreover, in addition,
当写完⼀段英⽂,最好⾸先检查⼀下是否较好地应⽤了这些连接词。
2) 段落的整体逻辑
经常我们要叙述⼀个问题的⼏个⽅⾯。这种情况下,⼀定要注意逻辑结构。
⾸先第⼀段要明确告诉读者你要讨论⼏个部份
...Therefore, there are three aspects of this problem have to be addressed.
The fifirst question involves...
The second problem relates to …
The third aspect deals with...
上⾯的例⼦可以清晰地把观点逐层叙述。
Or, 可以直接⽤First, Second, Third..... Finally,..
当然,Furthermore, in addition等可以⽤来补充说明。
