英語寫作中的過渡詞
漢語文章的組織靠的是意合，即句子與句子之間的聯(lián)系靠的是句子意義的本身，句子的連接很少使用太多的連接詞;而英語文章的組織靠的是形合，句子的連接離不開過渡詞。下面是YJBYS小編為大家搜索整理的關(guān)于英語寫作中的過渡詞，供參考閱讀，希望對你有所幫助!想了解更多相關(guān)信息請持續(xù)關(guān)注我們應(yīng)屆畢業(yè)生培訓(xùn)網(wǎng)!
過渡詞是一種關(guān)系指引詞，其作用是連接上下文，使文章保持連貫、自然、通順。過渡詞可以用于句子與句子之間的連接，還可以用于段落與段落之間的連接。當(dāng)句子進入語段、語段進入語篇時，往往需要用一些連接手段把句子和句子、語段和語段，有時甚至是段落與段落連接起來，使它們之間建立起各種各樣的語義關(guān)系，并使整個語篇在意義上具有連貫性。根據(jù)章振邦的劃分，英語的銜接手段主要分為三大類：過渡詞銜接、詞匯紐帶和語法照應(yīng)。我們在此主要討論過渡詞連接。
過渡詞的使用是保證段落或文章連貫的重要手段之一，同時也是英語寫作中應(yīng)注意的一個關(guān)鍵問題。本德(Bander)曾在其著作《美國英語修辭》(American English Rhetoric)中高度概括了寫作中使用過渡詞的重要性，認(rèn)為“有兩個技巧比學(xué)任何其它的更能增強英語寫作技能：其一是使用過渡連接詞;其二是使用從屬關(guān)系”。
夸克(Quirk)等人把過渡詞分為13大類：(1)列舉類;(2)強勢類;(3) 對等類;(4) 轉(zhuǎn)折類;(5) 總結(jié)類;(6) 同位類;(7)結(jié)果類;(8)推論類;(9)重述類;(10)替換類;(11)對立類;(12)讓步類;(13)時間轉(zhuǎn)換類。蔡基剛將過渡詞分為11類：舉例、比較、對照、讓步、原因、結(jié)果、強調(diào)、遞進、結(jié)論、時間和空間。
我們立足于教學(xué)，從方便實用的角度出發(fā)，綜合以上學(xué)者的成果，將過渡詞按語義劃分為以下最常見的幾種類型：(一)表示添加信息：and， also， too， furthermore，besides， moreover， in addition， what is more等;( 二) 表示因果關(guān)系：because， for， for this reason， because of， since， as a result， thus，therefore， so， consequently， of course， accordingly等;( 三) 表示文章意義的轉(zhuǎn)折或?qū)Ρ龋篴lthough， however， on the contrary， still， but，otherwise， despite， nevertheless， though， in fact， on the other hand， asa matter of fact等;(四)表示文章中事件發(fā)生的時空順序：first，second， third， after that， meanwhile， then， before， next， formerly， later，finally， in the end， at last等;( 五) 表示列舉：firstly， secondly， forone thing…for another， first of all， to begin with， then， last等;(六)表示舉例、解釋：for example， for instance， that is， namely， to illustrate等;(七)表示總結(jié)：in short， to sum up， in conclusion， briefly， on thewhole， to conclude， to summarize等。下面我們逐一進行說明。

過渡詞使上下文的連接自然、緊湊，使文章整體具有結(jié)構(gòu)上的粘著性和意義上的連貫性。雖然過渡詞的使用并不是文章連貫的惟一手段，但確實是一種十分重要和有效的手段。這部分需要學(xué)生平時通過大量的句子練習(xí)掌握好各種紛繁的過渡詞的使用，為自己的寫作錦上添花。
此外還有一些形容詞短語、同位語從句等表達(dá)因果關(guān)系的結(jié)構(gòu)和陳述套語有時也可作為過渡詞使用。如：
… Attribute to … (原因) [形容詞短語](原因)… which in turn (結(jié)果)
Account for … (原因)
(結(jié)果) lie in the fact that (原因)
(結(jié)果) result from (原因)
It is precisely because… (原因) that (結(jié)果)… [強調(diào)結(jié)構(gòu)](原因) be responsible for (結(jié)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.
諸如此類的結(jié)構(gòu)還有很多，比如表達(dá)數(shù)量、優(yōu)點、缺點、重要、必要、困難、方便、可能、措施、變化、事實、現(xiàn)狀、比較、看法、結(jié)論，如As the proverb says… 正如諺語所言，Everybodyknows that… 每個人都知道，Generally speaking， … 一般說來，It isknown to us that… 眾所周知，It is true that… 的確，Many people aremuch interested in the question that… 許多人都對……感興趣，Thereis no doubt that… 毫無疑問，等等。總之，過渡詞紛繁復(fù)雜，只有在學(xué)習(xí)中慢慢摸索，慢慢積累，才能切實地提高英語寫作水平。
