A?Level專業(yè)文章寫作中的連詞(二)因果連詞
上一次我們?yōu)榇蠹医榻B了數(shù)學語句中表示連接關(guān)系的連詞。今天A+國際教育小A要說的是:隱含或解釋(Implications or Explanations)。因果關(guān)系,簡單直白點,就是因為……所以……的那些事。說到因為和所以,每個人腦海里一下子閃出來的一定是because和so,非常好!但如果通篇都是because和so,尤其是像數(shù)學這種邏輯性超強的學科來說,這兩個詞會不會累到罷工了呢?來看下面的例子吧:
1. The gradient of astraight line is positive.
直線的斜率是正數(shù)。
2. The straight line isincreasing.
直線是上升的。
as/because/since (最常見的用法)
As (Because, Since) the gradient of a straight line is positive, this line isincreasing.
· due to (比用as更強調(diào))
The straight line isincreasing due to its positivegradient.
· in view of/owing to/on account of (比用as更強調(diào))
In view of (Owing to, On account of) positive gradient of astraight line, it is increasing.
· given (所述條件不可避免的結(jié)果)
Given positive gradient of a straight line, it is increasing.
· it follows that (對原因給出比用as更多的強調(diào))
The gradient of astraight line is positive. It follows that this line is increasing.
· consequently/therefore/thus (強調(diào)性居于as和it follows that之間。Consequently和therefore在句子開頭比thus更合適)
The gradient of astraight line is positive and consequently (therefore, thus) this line is increasing.
大家是不是很常用because和since呢?這當然沒有問題。但當一頁紙里有過多的because,便會使文章讀起來生硬,所以,我們要學會合理的應(yīng)用as,due to,it follows that等連接詞或短語。
同樣的情況也出現(xiàn)在therefore和hence的運用中。我們也可以使用不同的說法,如consequently和it follows from ... that,以免重復。另外,because后面跟的是從句,若只跟名詞或動名詞,則用because of。
