艾易艾斯(aeas)口语中必备的连接词(二)

四、转折关系

But… / …however…

并列连词“but”和“however”表示转折,意思为“但是”、“然而”。“but”所表示的是非常明显的对比,转折的语气要比“however”强。“but”总是会位于它所引出的分句之首,而使用“however”时,可以位于分句之首、句子与句子之间、分句的末尾。

例:

1.He likes football, but his friend likes badminton.

2.My room is small, however, it is comfortable.

五、对比关系

On the other hand… / while… /whereas…

“On the other hand”的意思为“另一方面来说”。“while”和“whereas”这两个连词表示“而、却、然而”的意思。“while”表示对比,但语气较弱,“whereas”表示为较为鲜明的对比或对照,语气强烈,也较为正式。虽然这两个词在澳洲日常生活交流中使用得并不算太多,但是在口语考试中能够在Section3个人陈述部分使用1-2次,提分效果是非常明显的。

例:

  1. On the other hand,this idea appealed to me.

2.I like singing , while she likes dancing.

3.Some people praise him , whereas others condemn him.

六、举例

like / such as / for example=for instance /in some cases / something like that

举例和泛指在AEAS口语考试中,可以有效地帮你比较自然地说出一些更长的句子。“like… 名词”是日常口语里最常听到的一个词。“such as”是native speakers日常交流中常用的词。“in some cases”这个词属于泛指,不必具体说明例子,但可以让考官觉得你有举例的意识。

例:

1.I am into fantasy novels like Harry Potter and The Chronicles of Narnia.

2.Amy enjoys team sports such as basketball and cricket.

七、其他

…as well as… / in terms of…

“as well as”这个关联词用在句子的中部,这个词是也是英文中超级常用的连接方式。还有“in terms of ”也是口语中经常使用的词,意思为“在…方面”、“就…而言”。

例:

1.It is unpleasant in summer as well as in winter.

 

2.The long working hours via computers and smart phones tends to make employees at their worst in terms of physical situation.
