Conclusion: because, so, therefore, as a result, consequently, thus, in summary, conclude
这种transitions的出现方式非常多样,包含了很多词性:连词,介词,副词,动词等等,还有很多短语,所以把它称之为Transitional devices是非常恰当的。
在写作文章中充分合理地加入这种Transitional devices,就可以在很大程度上增加文章的连贯性,比如还是本文开头的那段话,稍加修改之后变成了:
Panda bear is a kind of docile lovely animal in the southwest of China. Because of its cherubic appearance and awkward movement, it also symbolizes the spirit of peace and harmony, which is cherished by Chinese people. However, expansion of human activities to wild areas has caused a sharp decrease in the number of panda bears.
通过判断,我们发现修改前的一二两句之间存在因果关系,因此加入because of 将它们连在了一起;而修改前的第三句和前两句之间是一个并列关系,因此加入了also;最后一句话的意思和前面明显出现了转折,通过however来体现这种转折关系。经过修改之后,几句话被有机地结合在了一起,形成了一段篇章而非四个独立的句子。
不过,在充分使用各种连接语的同时,也应该注意不同词性连接语的用法,比如连词很自由,and,but,so这些连词的后面可以跟名词或者句子。但是介词后面只能跟名词,比如because of, instead of,in addition to等等;而副词的后面只能加句子,比如however, in addition, as a result等等。
