英语连接词

写作中的连接词常见的连接词

过渡语(transition)

过渡语：它可以是一个词、一个短语、一种语法手段、或者是一种表达方式，用来使句与句、段与段之间逻辑地连接起来，使他们相互之间关系明确，推动文章向前发展或使文章意义转折，使发展脉络清楚明白。

代词和连词可以是过渡语；同义词的运用，重复某一词语或平行结构等，都可以是过渡语；修辞疑问句可以是过渡语，甚至某些符号如：1、2、3、a, b, c, 在列举事物时，也可以作为过渡语。

过渡语在英语写作中极为重要，可以说，无过渡语就不构成文章。

过渡语分类例举：

解说性过渡语：now, thus, for, in this case

强调性过渡语：indeed, certainly, above all

转折性过渡语：but, however, yet, unless, except for;

例举性过渡语：for example, for instance, thus;

比较性过渡语：like, similarly, likewise, in the same way

对照性过渡语：in contrast, on the other hand, instead, unlike

让步性过渡语：admittedly, nevertheless, of course, although, after all;

因果性过渡语：therefore, as a result, consequently, thus, hence, so, accordingly;

总结性过渡语：in conclusion, to sum up, all in all, finally

1)作为过渡语使用的代词：

I, you, he, she, they, them, this, that, these, those, one, such, it.在指代前面名词的同时，它们使句子顺利地从上句过渡到下一句。

例如：

In 1807 Noah Webster began his greatest work, “An American Dictionary of the English Language.” In preparing the manuscript, he devoted ten years to the study of English and its relationship to other languages, and seven more years to the writing itself.

该段落第二句的“he” 使上一句平稳地过渡到了下句。如果不使用代词，不仅使文章显得累赘，而且破坏了其连贯性

2）同义词、近义词用来做过渡语。

例如：

Teacher play a very important role in the teaching-and-learning work, in which, of course, the students must cooperate with them. Without the instructors, the students might be some what like a Swimmer in the sea of knowledge, not knowing the direction to the seashore.

在这个例子中，同义词和近义词都起到了平稳过渡的作用。

3) 关键词的重复，可以起到过渡语的作用。

In such a society, there was very little leisure left for hobbies. In deed the word “leisure” itself meant time that was saved, with some difficulty, in the midst of many jobs. Such leisure was used to practise the arts---to sing, paint, carve or act. Since their professional work was so largely physical, it was natural for people to seek emotional and mental satisfaction through these arts in their leisure time.

此段中关键词的重复使文章能够自然地由上一个句子过渡到下一个句子

4）平行结构的运用常可起到过渡语的作用

例如：

Modern society depends a great deal on mineral oil. Without it, there would be no paraffin-oil for lighting or cooking; Without it, there would be no motorcars, aeroplanes or diesel engines for trains.

这种平行结构的运用不仅能够起到平稳过渡句子的作用，而且也强调了句子

5）运用过渡词、并列连词、一部分副词、形容词、数词，以及一些短语都可以起过渡语的作用。
