二、詞義辨析:


accordingly,consequently,hence,so,therefore,thus

這些連接副詞均有“因此,所以”之意。 accordingly書面用詞,強(qiáng)調(diào)根據(jù)某種原因而得出的結(jié)果,其前可用冒號(hào)或分號(hào),但不用逗號(hào)。 consequently正式用詞,側(cè)重符合邏輯的結(jié)果。 hence較正式用詞,指接下來的東西是理所當(dāng)然的必需的東西,但強(qiáng)調(diào)其重要性。 so用于比較隨便的場(chǎng)合,口語(yǔ)中多用。 therefore通常指引出一個(gè)推斷出的必然結(jié)論。 thus多用于書面語(yǔ)中,可與therefore換用。


三、相關(guān)短語(yǔ):
